Topic: Ok, in honour of England vs South Africa

YOU are in your national team, whatever sport you like...
what song would fire you up and inspire you to victory - to listen to or to play?

Blood on Blood by Bon Jovi, cheesy as but gives me goosebumps

Re: Ok, in honour of England vs South Africa

It was a try no matter what they say!!!!

Re: Ok, in honour of England vs South Africa

that was not a try. His foot was over the line before the ball went down.
A very tight decision but thats why there is TV evidence in rugby, it was not one guys decision.

Good on South Africa, they truely deserved that cup.


For a national song it has always got to be Flower of scotland for me. Sang it so many times and still get goosebumps when singing it at hampden or murrayfield.

Bloody Scots and Bloody South Africans and Bloody Bloody TV judges!  It would be great to live in a nation that had something to celebrate once in a while!  You guys invented the telephone, the TV, the Glasgow Kiss, the Macintosh, Tarmac, Shortbread, WHISKY...

All the English ever did was subjugate everyone else and spend the rest of eternity feeling superior  hmm

Hi Bonedaddy,
Did you not know the Irish were the first to make good whiskey,{notice the E }

Thats how you know the difference in Scotch and Irish Whiskey, We add the "E" to the spelling.

Bushmills Northern Ireland, Oldest Distillery in the world {I think}.

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !

Re: Ok, in honour of England vs South Africa

The Sweet poteen from Ireland green that's made from wheat and rye is what i'd like to sample.  I'd take off me coat and grease me throat in a flash!  Just polished off a bottle of red and realised it's.... South Bloody African!  Gutted!

On a different note, I was gonna write a song for you Old Doll, how would you feel about that?

FLATTERED! Thank You.

pmsl lol

ok, it was a try. you were cheated ,:lol:

and Old doll, it might be the oldest distillery but we were making it up in the hills generations before distilleries came about.

I might do some research into this to see who actually made it first outwith distilleries.
Oor whisky is better anyway. So many to choose from as well than yer whiskey. lol so we must have better whisky.

Try any Speyside or highland whiskies, very smooth an elegant, or get an isle whisky, peaty,smokey rough. or the Lowland triple distilled from Auchentoshan. The glen Livet, dahlwhinnie is another fine whisky.

and what a game that was !!!!

lol

Re: Ok, in honour of England vs South Africa

Erm, I might be wrong here but since I'm online I thought I'd get my tuppence worth.
Is it not the case that the Chinese were making a form of Whisky way before us Sweaties and Paddys?  (sweaties; sweaty socks - Jocks. wink )

I thought it was a try as well, untill I seen the TV this morning, his foot rubbed the line just before the ball went down, no try. Not much of a game but over the piece SA deserved it. Well done tae England for reaching the final though.

National song?  Allys Tartan Army - Andy Cameron, perhaps? lol

Re: Ok, in honour of England vs South Africa

Yeah, u could be right about the try but dear god it was close!  I believe the Egyptians were there before us as well with the distilling thing... perfumes maybe rather than sippin stuff but its along the right lines!

Re: Ok, in honour of England vs South Africa

I've tried Yankee whiskey, Irish whiskey and even Welsh whisky but I have never found anything that could beat Scotch whisky. So many!

And ......... it wasn't a try. Close call though. Without the TV judge it would've been given.

Song? Dunno. LOL

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??

Re: Ok, in honour of England vs South Africa

yea bonedaddy
I watched the news, his foot was touching the line before he placed the ball so technically he was out.
silly rule when it is as tight as that but then the defending south Arican did deliberatly try and get his foot over which he now seems did successfully do.

So, well done to the South afriicans. It will be scotlands turn next lol ( yes, that was a joke)
but watch those argentinians. A nation that do not play rugby. They only have anational team so hats of to them, in my eyes for the little they play they are outstanding  contestants.
