The most busiest attraction in England is a brothel. This fact isn't listed due to political correctness.

Pleasure Beach is not publicly owned (at least i believe) and it tops the U.K. list so i'm not sure

Um... When you heard about the wild rides at the Pleasure Beach you clearly got the wrong end of the stick.

Sorry, one of my teenage sons hijacked my user name.

I would never assume that love-making is one of the major fortitudes of the English.

Assume away my tutonic friend. But most Brits can keep a woman without having to build a dungeon in the cellar.

BTW that Austrian nutter actually applied for, and got, planning permission to build the dungeon. That strikes me as terribly tutonic.

Cholmondley_Warner, your 'jokes' are a tiny little bit tasteless, aren't they?

"A tiny bit tasteless" - No they are appalling, but exceptionally funny.

Football - Team loyalties would suggest Croatia (already covered), France (don't be silly) or the Czech Republic (Even if the biggest attraction in London was a brothel, Milan Baros wouldn't manage to score in it).

Language and culturally, it would have to be Italy for me, but they play awful boring football and I cannot bring myself to support any country that elects Berlusconi.

So it will be an Orange shirt for me: Wonderful football, great comedy accent and the anticipation of watching the Dutch side declare war on each other by the quarter finals (It is traditional).

This is the best thread after the one about doggies in Amsterdam parks (which was, sadly enough, deleted after a couple of posts).

C_W: Another example that we are always first:

The "tasteless" port came from our side.

janisj is probably already asleep.

Palenque:

I swear: it was just a typo. I wanted to write "post", and somehow it came out "port". I would never dare...

Unless a lot of British flood into Vienna, there won't be a problem with with disruptions.

Peg

This is the point, The UK has 4 national teams that could have qualified, and errr....none did.

The only Brits you will find will be officials (maybe..?).

I'm supporting France, perhaps if I do, they might let me vote.

The Lord Haw Haw de nos jours?

I like the idea of plumping for the cloggies. They have the the funniest accents, are all pissed (making them honourary Englishmen) wear orange fright wigs and plastic clogs and as willit says, are punching the lights out of each other by the quarter finals.

And of course the vountry being at sea level - there's no possibility of building dungeons in cellars - the women would drown.

Ok, CW, since Bulgaria haven't made it either, who do we spurs supporters go for?

[did you see gus poyet on MotD? -

Interviewer - "are you hoping that Dimitar stays or do you think he'll go?"

Gus - "yes".]

When does this footie nonsense ever stop? Season seems to be July-June.

enough already

at least being a Spurs fan you do get a break from constant matches at home and abroad - Spurs season is usually over as soon as it begins

you all need to get with a winner - like my Man U squad

In which case, you'd be travelling hither and yon most of the year to keep up - and you have to live a good long way away to be a ManU fan in the first place.

That, and have a taste for prawn sandwiches, apparently.

He knows nothing about footie, has never been to Old Trafford and thinks the Glazers are a good thing.

He's a perfectly typical Man Utd fan.
