National anthem

[Honkytonk]

Jerusalem is the only proper alternative for England in the sport (first verse only of course), although Land of Hope and Glory would be good.

It's not going to happen of course, at least not within the next twenty or thirty years.

I'm always jealous of La Marseillaise which kicks in with proper thump. Maybe we should just steal that.

[kerry red]

are you familiar with folk music at all? It's quite popular

Do you know one you could sing in its entirety?

And how fucking embarrassing would it be to start belting out Tom Cobley or some other shite.

Might as well give Wonderwall a go

I'm sure the EU will solve this issue for us in the coming years

Really?!  Always thought of it as a bit of a dirge myself.  And it drags on, and on, and on, and on...

I think my favourite has to be the new South African one.

If you go to a cinema out here they always play the national anthem before the film stands.

Don't stand up for it and you could well find yourself in prison.

Do they still play it across the tannoy at 6pm in railway stations?

They do, yeah.

Having to stand is not so strict in places like that where you are busy (and you're likely to be stood anyway).
