Yet again England are shit at whatever they attempt.

[vegster]

Unbeaten since The 3rd Anglo Dutch War of 1672-1674.
You`re talking bollox again Nibbles.

We`re great at war.

I`ll grant you we were a bit flukey in the Anglo-Spanish War 1585 -1604

Only because we get so much practice

We're not too good at civil wars though. The scots showed us a thing or two at the Battle of Stirling Bridge circa 1297 I can tell you

 

[Publius Ovidius]

erm, we are pretty good at making Nuclear submarines seemly!

Unfortunately, the away defeats in The Boer War and The U.S. War of Independance were " Capello" moments....

(cough)The Treaty of Vereeniging was the peace treaty, signed on 31 May 1902, that ended the South African War (Second Anglo-Boer War) between the South African Republic and the Republic of the Orange Free State on one side and Great Britain on the other.
This settlement entailed the end of hostilities and the surrender of all Boer forces and their arms to the British,

 

[vegster]

They were British defeats...................

Pay attention at the back.

You are being German and moving the goalposts... er, crossbar...

 

[Pot noodles for everyone]

And biscuits. We make the best biscuits in the world.

we've been pretty good at music, inventing stuff, writing stuff and nature programmes

And Crisps.

Whenever I go abroad there is never the RANGE of flavours that you get in the UK!

Its usually cheese, cheese and onion or sour cream, salt and vinegar, salted, paprika and thats it.

 

[portlock seagull]

When it comes to war, we have a very proud record though WW2 wasn't exactly error-free. The typical tommy was no match for jerry but that's mostly due to the lack of 10 years fanatical brain-washing and training pre-poland.

When it comes to BIG sports, we're hopelessly behind as you say. 2012 has got disaster written all over it when compared to the investment being made e.g. I do not expect us to better our Beijing tally despite the billions being poured into the event by comparison. Imagine the press after that ends in disappointment?! Tin helmets on everyone, things are going to get a little rough

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'd argue that we've got quite a few individuals and teamsd that DO contend.

One of the reasons I'm able to live with our World Cup fiasco is that we've got a decent cricket side to support, some excellent Grand Prix drivers, Andy Murray's contending and even the rugby boys beat the Aussies in their own backyard last week.

You forgot the peanut flavour crisps that you get in french service stations. WTF is all that about? Disgrace.

Grand Prix a side, everything else is only temporary. So we have good form sometimes. But never class.

 

[Brighton TID]

We are pretty damn fine at tiddlywinks, although the USA always lick us at the big tourneys. That said, we still hold the 24 wink record:

Stephen Williams (Altrincham Grammar School) potted 24 winks from 45 cm (18 in) in 21.8sec in May 1966. GO ON MY SON!

Oh no. No no no no no. No sirree.

Peanut flavour crisps are the business. I became a big fan of those after visiting Sweden where they are quite rightly very popular. They sell them in Waitrose now too. Bottom row of the "sharing" crisps section, 3rd aisle in just past the fruit and veg. You know where I mean - just past the wines and before the soft drinks aisles.
