Arguments on-line aren't good for our mental health because they are rarely resolved and so we stew on them longer.

I watched the first 2 episodes tonight and I think it's excellent; very evocative of the time. I think those criticising it just weren't there...

But if you asked the members of all those bands you mention they would cite the Pistols as their catalyst. At 13 I think you were too young to appreciate how important they were...

I can never get to the end of Jerusalem without wondering if William Blake was on opium when he wrote it. It boils down to him believing Jesus visited England and is therefore the chosen country. Barmy.

Hang on, do you mean THE Queen, or A queen? If you mean the latter then St.James' Street is crawling with them...

Just a thought, but could it be that Britain has a lot not to feel proud about? Standing up to the Nazis was good but I can't think of much else...

I'd be interested to know what pageantry you have watched from other countries to compare it against? E.g. I've heard Japan can be pretty good, and Samoa takes some beating. Is there a league table for people walking about in robes and medals awarded for no obvious reason?

These royal groupies always look tragic...

I think most non-monarchists would favour a gradual dwindling into irrelevance rather than overthrow. Step 1 would be the removal of all Civil List payments but perhaps allow state payments for the upkeep of properties on the basis that we can have access to them.

I can't vote for either of those choices; where is the third option?: - Never let this over-privileged immoral idiot out in public again

Errrr.... no thanks

But surely we don't want an eye witness account of what actually happened at the stadium to get in the way of bigoted people slagging-off Scousers at any opportunity?

It's no use Mr Psychobobby, I've read that a few times and I'm not exactly sure what you are saying. Is there something you need to share with the group? Did a Scouse kid steal one of your conkers in kindergarten?

I suggest you change your name to Bigotry Boy...

I think the hill he's dying on is not going along with the prejudice of narrow minded toss merchants...

YouTube seems to have more footage of Madrid fans climbing over the fences and getting in than Liverpool...

It's strange because in a lot of your posts you seem to be a reasonably sensible bloke, but this seems to suggest that you are in reality a bit of a moron....

But if the anti-Liverpool sentiment on here is only because of their "plastic" following then why all the "jokes" about nicking wheels and always being the victim? I've also certainly seen derogatory comments about the Irish ancestory of a large proportion of Scousers by EDL/Brexity types. I...

Agreed, the best British sitcoms have only lasted for a few series, e.g. Fawlty Towers, Young Ones, IT Crowd, The Office, etc. etc. the approach being leave them wanting more. However the US model seems to be that they try a season and if it works then throw a team of writers at it to prolong...
