"Where are the England flags then?"

C'mon all you patriots, it's that time of year again.
A major sporting event is upon us, one we actually host year after year, and yet I haven't seen one solitary flag in a car or displayed from a house window.
I guess we'll have to settle for yet more isolated shrieks of "GWON TIM!!!!" and endless "This year?" reports in tabloids accompanied by the inevitable "I'm touching cloth" pose he seems to feel indicates personality [URL]http://www.overcompetitive.com/sponsored_athletes/henman_bio.gif[/URL]

So why the lack of flags symbolising your patriotic duty to...er...watch it on the tv then?
"Because he sucks and we never win"
Not like International Football championships then...

Pah, what is all this sport doing in Life?

Let's talk about God or wars or famine or something.

Oh of course. That's why Tim has reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon twice, and the semi final of the French where it's not even his best surface. He hasn't been out of the top 10 in years.

But yeah, you're really cool for being different from everyone else and not liking Henman.

New balls for Mr Hughes.

The old ones just got kicked in.

If we win the Ashes, you'll not be able to move for flags.


Hell, I would guess we'd see a car made entirely from flags should that happen...

Henman doesnt represent England anyway, it is GBR, so a Union Jack it should be anyway in theory.

Seen a few of both flags knocking about anyway, dont see anything wrong with it.

And we will win the Ashes.

Ye...no

I offer my sincere apologies for having an opinion.
And the thing is, you don't seem to realise you're getting all sweaty and worked up about some guy who hits a ball with a racquet

Aren't Grand Slams individual tournaments?
He represents himself.

True.

Poor Greg, not seen too many Canadian flags...
