I couldn't think of a forum to put this on, so I decided to put it on here.

I was in Glasgow with my little brother, who's nine, and he wanted to get a new phone as his old one had broken. So, after ages and ages of saving up, he wanted to go into Glasgow with me. The one he wanted was a Nokia 3510i. (a phone with a camera.)
Anyway, we were walking around in Glasgow when my little brother saw 'The Orange Shop.' He decided to go there to get his new phone so we headed in that direction. As we were walking, he was so excited that he broke into a sprint and I let him go. I saw him enter the Orange shop and then about five seconds later I saw a tall man wearing an orange top pull him out. Naturally, I ran towards my little brother and asked the man 'What is going on?' He replied 'He cannot come into the shop wearing that', and he pointed to his Manchester United shirt. So I replied 'What's wrong with his shirt?' The man said 'look who it's sponsored by.' So I looked down at the sponsor in the middle, it was Vodafone. The man said 'He cannot advertise Vodafone in an Orange shop.' So at that moment I turned around grabbed my brother and walked away. So later on, we found a 'T - Mobile' shop. So we entered cautiosly and when we got in the manager welcomed us in nicely, not taking any notice of my little brother's shirt. He ended up buying the phone that he wanted from that shop.

The morale of the story: Never buy from the Orange Shop.

Nah.

Russia is in a state, so surviving seems to be more important than playing football.

America is going to be the best football team in the world at some point. Right now, because they have a past with four other prominent sports, football hasn't quite fully grasped them yet. But it will, eventually.

China. Well, they also are improving. Lets remember, though, a few years ago, hardly any Chinese people even bothered playing football.

Although, by the 'law' NB layed out, then I suppose these countries should be better at football. But money is another problem, for Russia and China in particular. Here in the UK, we're rich compared to these countries, so football is a more available thing. So the population side of the argument does come into effect when England and Scotland are the countries in comparison.

Muh. This post is too long. Bah.

In a few years these youngsters will be having sex in playschool.

That's what I was wondering. Why do you need a mobile at that age? But that's what he wanted so I just went along with it.
