Credit Crunch. Tesco rules the green and pleasant land. Appalling weather. Arthur is supposed to return when England is under threat. Where is he? Moderator, do not move this thread or you are being, erm AntiArthurist.
What threat is England under? We always have bad weather (it's actually good weather because it keeps our country nice, green and healthy) and Tesco rules nothing, (have you not seen the Asda advert)? As for the credit crunch.. I don't see that its sufficient reason for Arthur to come out of retirement.
I sympathize with you Albionese sons of bitches - I really do. This Summer in the Soviet Socialist Republik of New York has been - how do you say - beastly. Rain about every third day, and overcast on one of the other 2... I dunno how you guys can stand it without going utterly mad...
Things are looking up in Blighty since we had an Olympian winning two Gold medals. We never win at swimming. Never. The whole of Great Britain has only got a handfull of world class swimming pools. She's a bit of a moose though. You wouldn't want a clout off her. More bad weather to come next week, plus wind.
Was it Leeds that had an olympic size pool built only to realise it wouldn't be olympic size when they added the tiles?
Have you seen the Aussie scrubbers in the diving? One's name is Shar-leen and I wouldn't say Chantelle Newberry has put on weight but I was confused as to whether she was diving or breaching!..near emptied out the pool.
Arthur is in every man and it is for everyone to choose to be Arthur or not. It's the same as the memories of old WW1 heroes, but they were not super-human, they were human, so were the ancient Greeks and Alexander the Great. But, when shit happens, there is a shattering of the world that may create heroes in the image of Arthur.
Kremmen, I think it was suppose to be Merlin that ushers in the return, but since it's all fiction anyway it might as well be the Purple spotted people eater or failing that a Monty Python foot coming down on the "Green and Pleasant land" would do the trick.
*Directs everyone to Avatar's post but can't be bothered to quote it, then applauds* Ha! In my local town an Aldi is being built ten metres away from Tesco. The giant holds no power here.
Most of our swimmers train in the local canal. She's proably been swimming dragging a bicycle frame for the last few years.
So the Credit Crunch is supposed to trouble Arthur, even though the invasion by William the Conquerer and centuries of rule by basically French kings did not? What would Arthur do about the credit crunch in any event? How would that work?? Unless Arthur has a means of doling out liquidity to British banks, he will fail. What the banks need is Merlin.
Nice, Pandaemoni Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Good one. Olympic Thought of the day. The Chinese Olympic Stadium is called the Birds's nest, because it is supposed to look like a Birds nest. So why does it look like a burned out Zeppelin?
Geez! How do you manage in a drought like that? Rain only every third day! You must be dying in droves.
