I woke this morning to the sound of a wasp making that annoying waspy kind of noise they make. It had come in through the bedroom window we had foolishly but desperately left open. It was making a hell of a noise like someone mowing the lawn or a minature helicopter. I closed my eyes and tried to ignore it but it was getting a bit mad in the window area. Anyway a few swipes and then manic sprays of Lynx Deodorant had him buzzing off out the window (I thought I heard it swearing between 'dry' coughs on the way out - unless that was the missus)... I know- you are thinking: “What on earth has this got to do with this thread Boatman?” Well, apart from wanting to share that moment with you my point was: 'I think it had an England flag on each wing... ' (phew I think I got away with it)….

My boss at the charity shop I work in bought some shortbread with white icing and a red cross iced over for elevenses. Near where I live there's a house with a flag hanging out of the window. But the most ridiculous sight was in the Mirror where I saw a picture of the Beckham children made up with the cross of St. George. Idiot parents!

A colleague at work has come in with a haircut with a cross shaved in his hair dyed bright red. I'm flagging already, maybe it was the heat on the weekend! It is like the world has been taken over by brainwashing aliens in a Dr. Who episode. It reminds me of Life Of Brian when he pleads with the crowd to stop following him and think for themselves as they are all individuals and they reply. "We're all individuals!" .... Still it puts a smile on faces, lifts the spirit and.... err let's hope they win else it'll be mass country-wide gloom. Yours Eeyore

Walked into my local this evening to wind down and it was a fog of smoke with folks getting excited around the tv set. YeeeeeeeeeeeSSSSSSS! Oooooooh! etc So, I thought I'd retreat to the other half of the pub but the room was locked off for a private Ann Summer's Party. Good job I didn't walk in and ask for the usual.... Later I am sure similar cheers were heard...

....you`ve seen with an England flag on? Hargreaves ;D LMAO!!! over rated in my opinion and as yet has done nothing to justify his selection in any of Sven's teams. Outside of England's first choice eleven, they are struggling for quality players apart from Lennon and Crouch. And that will be England's downfall, any more injuries/suspensions could ruin England's chances.
