Do they arrive at Wembley in chains ahead of the 'victorious' 'indigenous' players?

And what if they lose?

OK. I read it wrong, maybe.

My foreign ringers wouldn't be in chains, they'd be brought in the old fashioned way. With bribes. If they lose, I set John 'the cucking funt' Terry on their wives. Negative reinforcement is sometimes necessary :nod:

There was a link to an 'Are you British?' quiz on here once, first question: 'Complete the following: "Nice to see you, to see you _______"

No more was really needed :lol:

Classic - should be part of the UK immigration test. I'm pretty sure Ricky Gervais did a musical version with the "manamana" bit from (I think) Benny Hill music - the answer being "do, dooo do-do-do"
