The Lads Can’t Sleep…Because Their Hotel Is Shite
Having left a resort in Baden-Baden that would make Madonna feel shamefully self-indulgent, the English team is griping that the hostelry in which FIFA has housed it — a five-star joint, mind you — is too noisy and centrally located.
I bet they think it’s hot, too.

Sameet: yep, Newton, Locke, Orwell and the Industrial Revolution (amongst others) are hardly worth a mention, eh…
(plus we did invent football, tennis, rugby and a few other things I haven’t time enough to list…)

Sameet, don’t forget The Beatles. As for the Indsustrial Revolution, Orwell, etc. - that’s all fine and well - but I’d trade them all for Liz Hurley.
Matter of fact, you don’t want to know what I would trade for Liz Hurley. Oh, sorry about the drool, that should come right off.

And by the way D, England can’t take total credit for Tennis - Batista Pereira, a Spanish merchant, who lived in Birmingham, played a game named “pelota”, after a Spanish ball game. Pereira joined with Dr. Frederick Haynes and Dr. A. Wellesley Tomkins to found the first lawn tennis club in the world. In 1874 they formed the Leamington Tennis Club, setting out the original rules of the game.
But the Magna Carta, that’s yours, so bully for England.

Hey how could i forget Samantha Fox! A generation of Indians have grown up ogling at her posters pinned down on the back of the dorm toilet doors!!
Seriously, England need to be way more creative than what they have displayed so far, if they have a rat’s ass of a chance to win this cup. Before the tournament i was tipping them to win it, but now i am not so sure!!

Ha ha, this site is funny!
Hmm - okay, so tennis is one-third Spanish then, at least in terms of its founders? Going on your info though, it was still developed in England and is essentially rooted here, so I’m still claiming it on that basis.

Nice try D, but wrong again (and you English think the Spanish are prideful;-)…
Actually (and no doubt to English horror) the roots of tennis go all the way back to 12th century France (remember Act I of Henry V?), where it was played indoors and called “real” or royal tennis.
Anyway, isn’t credit for Elizabeth Hurley enough?

Sameet, how could you forget the greatest Englishman of all?

Ha ha, whatever Roland, it’s English and you know it!
Btw ‘prideful’? Since when was that a negative?!? (Apart from as one of the seven deadly sins, of course…)

The English!?! What ‘ave the English ever done for us?

Well speaking as a Scot, they have given us someone to scrap with for the last thousand years or so. Didn’t they win a cup back in 1960’something
