The Brits may have lost the World Cup, but..

some Brits (Celia and Marie included) have found a place in my heart.

Of course, The Donald won't know what it means, as he's barely literate in English, and has no curiosity to find out. He'll probably think it's a good thing.

Maybe Putin will let him in on the slur  next week in Helsinki.

It's a shame Trump will not see the big baby over London. Then again he would see it as some sort of tribute.
Oh not being picky it was England in the world cup not Britain.

He is reportedly VERY sensitive about being called a baby - but I do appreciate the thought!

I know it was England, but for the most part, in the States the only folk who refer to the 'English' are the Amish (Swiss German Anabaptist immigrants to the US in the 1700s). Everyone who is not Amish is the 'English'.

I'm always amazed by crop circles, the guys doing them must be very clever, it's done by flattening wheat or barley and leaving parts standing. It must take a lot of working out.

Anyway, Britain is lucky to be allowed three teams in the World Cup, albeit qualifying stages usually, England, Wales and Scotland. Many other nations might want to do the same! Imagine if the USA demanded 50? Maybe the EU should only be allowed to have one? Surely they are similar entities, a federal and state set up? Tongue pushed firmly in cheek and twirled a bit..... !

Well Ireland has two teams, Ireland and Northern Ireland but NI is part of the UK still so the UK has four teams and between us there's five in these Islands. Confused? well you should be. I think Jersey was keen to join in too at one stage.

Well thanks but I'm not a Brit. I might have been if Mum and Dad had moved to England when she became pregnant before getting married. Or a Canadian, Dad was offered a good job there. But no I'm Irish. I do think it might have been useful to be British at times. Four of my nephews and nieces hold joint British and Irish nationalities. If one of them stays in America any longer she might end up with an American passport. That's a lot of passports!

But the best passport is Irish, many people who qualify get one because in some foreign places they've either never heard of you or think you're harmless. Eases the passage through officialdom. With Brexit coming a lot of British people with Irish ancestry have obtained Irish passports to stay an EU citizen so they can avoid being strip searched as they try to enter the EU from next year.

As for crop circles, clearly even the aliens are against Trump. I love the British sense of humour in those things. Like in the other thread. The Scots also had some choice things to say about Trump but as it was in their own dialect no one else knows what they're getting at.
