Fair enough.
I was agreeing with you...
Fair enough.
Too much agreement going on in this thread. I'm outta here !I was agreeing with you...
I know. My Mate rang in sick and went one afternoon session and his boss saw him on the TV.
Sacked.
He worked for Curry's, so his face was on about 40 TV screens in the shop!

Have we? This is Tennis we're talking about - unless i'm missing anyone else apart from Andy Murray..
If presence means any representation, even if also rans at best, I guess Druss is right.
Dodged the VAT bill on his bombardier jet unall.
Define "also ran" in tennis terms.
someone who had as much chance of winning a major title as AFCB does.
Eff me.Isn't that where they were born( edit- she Toronto,Canada)..strange facts...along a path of information.
Tbh ..I'm not bothered where...or whether they are or were ' immigrants'.
Borders are really only subjective ideas...free movement around the Planet , if you had legs or horses..was around for thousands of years...tribes moving for better pasture or resources ..then Politics rocked up..
Maybe when they are older they might think i've been a total dick and get a British passport but for now, while we live here and while I remain a total dick, they are simply Irish kids who happened to have been born in England.

At least this proves that you don't get everything right hahah...
..Barnes is Jamaican and Raducanu is Rumanian( a correct spelling btw)..
..however it doesn't mean we cannot embrace them as ' British'...not English but British !..they are as much Jock , Taff or Paddy as they are ' English'..and who would want to be English anyway..the most hated and vilified people on Earth..and f√ck me I'm proud of that badge !
Its interesting how varied things can get...especially where families get split..and with several marraiges or relationships ticked off in different countries.By that logic my dad, who came here when he was 20 and has only lived in England, would go mental for Scotland, Ireland et al in the major tournaments, yet somehow he does not.
just to upset/amuse you further, I have three children aged 11 and below. All were born in England, raised in England, schooled in England..... but to me (and themselves) they are Irish.
Both parents are Irish, their entire family is Irish, they have only ever held Irish passports, I tick "Irish" on any forms and so on.
Maybe when they are older they might think i've been a total dick and get a British passport but for now, while we live here and while I remain a total dick, they are simply Irish kids who happened to have been born in England.
Well, they are of course British, as irrespective of being born in England, they were born in the British Isles, which determines their Britishness.
Well, try telling someone brown and bred in Dublin that they are British by that logic…
At the risk of taking this down a different rabbit hole they have a constitutional right to be British, Irish or both so they are Irish nationals and British in terms of citizenship. We get to chose our nationality and never have the other conferred upon us but we have to explicitly renounce citizenship through a formal process.

No Football tonight so let's clear this up for some....
...The British Isles = England, Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland AND the Republic of Ireland.
The United Kingdom (UK) = England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Great Britain = England, Scotland and Wales
.. (hence the oft used expression / grouping of Great Britain AND Northern Ireland whenever it suits..say for the Olympics).
From a pure Geographical and Moral angle, imo..the fact that we have the wonderful island of Ireland with its rich culture and mainly ( 95%) wonderful people as neighbours to us mainly (95%) wonderful people...is a something to cherish !
