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?

Apart from the opening, I haven't watched any of it.
Yes I feel proud to be British. It's better than being a Yankor a pac1.
And much better than being a Frog or a Bruce.

If you don't feel proud to be British, why don't you F off somewhere else?
Miserable git.

You talking to me? I'm very proud to be British

Which is why I get ****ed off at people (like ARW) who regularly knock
the people who work behind the scenes in GB to make things like this
happen.

ARW is one of the people who regularl y knocks the people of GB and
their achievements (just re-read his posts); now he claims to be the
only person "Is there anyone other than me ..." who is supporting GB.

Adam does useful work, unlike a lot of the useless overpaid parasites we
seem to have around us these days.

Looks like you're another stupid **** who thinks that the achievement
of the last few days in the Olympics is entirely due to the individual
athletes and their achievements and nothing to do with the individual
sports organisations and their officials

If you were to think about it; these are the self same 'parasites' who
organise things so that bigger and better things happen.

However, since you're as dull witted as ARW, you fail to see that there
are some people who who have bigger vision than you and Adam, so you
discount their organisational abilities.

Adam does useful work, unlike a lot of the useless overpaid parasites
we seem to have around us these days.

Fair enough; if I want a fence putting up (and can't be arsed to DIY
it) I'll call Adam, if I want success at Olympic sports I'll call a
proper professional.

ARW had **** all to do with any achievements done by athletes today

If there was a gold medal for making things up, you'd be right up there

as it is, nobody seems to have written what you imagine they have

and ... if you want a fence putting up, this NG is all about doing it
yourself not getting a man in, you stupid ****.

And ... I'm not sure I've ever seen a useful contribution to this NG
from you, why not bugger off somewhere else
