Maybe so, but thankfully we didn't turn Republic with a President Blair.

Challenge : suggest a more suitable song/tune.

I'll throw "Charlie is my darling" into the ring.

It's not the lyrics it's just the overall sound , it's just a bit dreary

Actually, given the makeup of most "British" sports teams these days, isn't it about time we had a megamix ( mixtape sort of) even if only for use at sporting events?

Given that it was Greece and Spain that cancelled 50% of the German debt in 1953/54 and that enabled Germany to become a very successful economy with all the money in Europe do you think the EU should change it to something Greek that we can dance to to help them out?

We're one of only 3 blue water navies left in the world.

With the type 45 and our astutes (don't know what our carriers are gonna be like now we decided against the catapult so we're stuck with the very shit f35 instead of decent planes) we can effect my destroy most navies on the planet.

Definitely should have put the catapults on though

And forked out for a new domestic harrier upgrade over the travesty that is the joint strike fighter program.

Symphony no. 9 - yes.

Funny they didn't adopt something by a composer from any of the other nations - March to the scaffold - Berlioz, or maybe a Verdi chorus

No.

Those changes were brought about under huge influence and pressure from the Yanks.

Zorba?

Sirtaki by A Rieu?

Victory by Bond and A Rieu in concert.

Just thinking off the top of my head but... if it was a schizophrenic mix of some really OTT Wagnerian Opera spliced with sections of random bleeps, super fast hardcore breakbeats, and with the odd random word shouted out like "CUNT!!" and "TEACUP!!".. then we'd confuse the heck out of any of our competitors in events like the world cup. Whilst we're knuckling down to thrash them... they'd just be thinking in their heads... what the fuck was that crazy fucking psycho music? It'd really get in their heads, wind em up, and just plain scare em

That's just about the only way I can see of us ever winning the World Cup again lol
