It is sad that people have to assume that a question about them flying the Flag of St George is somehow racist when it is actually their countries flag, if I was a football fan i would have no qualms about flying the flag at all.
THey should be proud of their flag and should not feel the need to make excuses.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I Love football. I love the world cup.
In particular I love watching Really good Brazilians (the subjects football, in case MLM happens on this thread)
I am Scottish, I have an English surname (very Yorkshire).
My Grandfather, who I was called after, was born in Philadelphia, USA.
I spent 2 years of my life in Tasmania, Australia.(mainly playing football), where my eldest sis still lives
I love Spain and although not fluent have a passable ability to converse to Spaniards in their native tongue. My 8 year old daughter attends Spanish lessons on a weekly basis and is passionate about all things Spanish.
My wife is passionate about all things Italian ( especially waiters  )
After due consideration...I've decided who I'll support in this World Cup..
My decision is..... ABE

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Just ordered a Special Edition England Shirt With my surname and the number 1 on the back of it. The number by the way has some significance

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I was sitting in front of my lappy adding £10 to my mobile phone, I just finished and was reading the receipt, when both my home & mobile phones rang.
It was an automated message from my credit card, checking against fraud.
Now that was a quick response, less than 30 seconds.
Well done Barclaycard

Well the last time I got such a call from Barclaycard they had already blocked me from paying off my CC that month and as a consequence I had to pay extra the next pigging month.And yes I was trying to pay it off earlier than I needed to so I wouldn't be caught out by the three days to clear rule. 
Well done indeed but I far rather they had done it with some other payment..

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I am going to see Forbidden Planet (and 4 lions) at the cinema tomorrow in an attempt to cheer myself up
While I am looking forward to seeing both I must admit I am more excited about seeing Forbidden Planet on the big screen than I thought I would be

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Off to London next Monday afternoon for meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The one on Wednesday is the annual Google CIO Summit, which finishes just before 3pm, followed by the England vs Slovenia match on TV with, and I quote, " a full bar service".
