The Aussies are not doing very well:-)



The vainglorious brit who has done **** all himself but wonders if
he's the 'only person feeling proud' is a real object of pity


Nothing positive to post then?



Do let us know how you personally helped any of the medal winning
heroes.

WTF does that have to do with anything?


I read it as ARW was claiming some isolated position in 'feeling proud' of
'his' country. As though he'd done something special himself.
"Is there anyone else OTHER THAN ME that is proud of this country" is a
very self centred question.

But he's done **** all; so, in a very real sense, don't you think he's
worthy of pity?

Not at all, I'm pretty chuffed (proud if you will) that Andy Murray won
today and I'm not even a Scot.


Thats the beauty

of he wins he's one of us, if not, he's another useless porrigewog
