British Soccer - 22 prima donna hooligans who happen to be kicking the same ball in two directions.

American Football - The reason why Great Britain still speaks English.

yeah amazing isnt it.

you would think given the context of AH and the number of times that BoB events, scenarios, snapshots etc have been run that people would at least know the dates of the BoB and USA's entry into WWII  :rolleyes:

 Where does the term toe-rag come from?
