if we didn't choose to sit this competition out then we would be the same:) when the gaa league starts so many cars around the country have the county colours on their cars, also the rugby heads, munster anyway, last month.
that was an exciting end to the match last night, the performance level has definately picked up but its bad news about owen and i wasn't entirely convinced about rooney, too much too soon perhaps?

>Here in England, every 5th car sports a pair of St George's Cross flags, fluttering from the back windows (I read somewhere that the - A15? - road has c. 3 every mile that have fallen off). Garages and £ shops have been doing a roaring trade selling them. Some housing estates resemble Loyalist estates in Northern Ireland with all the English flags draping from the windows.
