National anthems, and one in particular.
I am watching the build up to the rugby world cup.
The anthems can be stirring, Wales, France, South Africa, Ireland, Scotland and so on.
They can be so so as well. The Argentine one doesnt start until half time.
But the most depressing dirge of all is the English one. ‘God save our homeopathic half wit.
It is dull, uninspiring, and excludes patriotic Englishmen who are republicans.
What’s wrong with Jerusalem, Land of Hope and Glory instead of this dull depressing monotone?
Anyway:-
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Tros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed.
Or
Allons enfants de la patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L’étendard sanglant est levé !

In view of the increasing number of foreign persons arriving on our shore and claiming the same rights as any freeborn English man and to celebrate the memory of our once great navy, I would suggest something of a nautical theme maybe “row row row the lilo”, the tide is high and other such water based ditties would be a suitable replacement to God save the king. In view of the state of this poor country many would find the replacement of God save the king with God save us to be acceptable..

Off topic, I see the wonderful government of this sceptred isle have promised as much help as it takes to help the earthquake victims in Marrakesh.
Funny as I thought most of em were here already receiving help, or certainly in France awaiting a boat trip.
Get to fuck.

Let’s hope we don’t get any, given the state of our public buildings.

IsaC pronounced like Issac or I-sack or even I-zek
There’s a lot of talk about the IsaC Horn Section. I propose an IsaC
choir.
In America there is such a thing as the “Black National Anthem” I propose the IsaC International Anthem.
From the Zulu film version:
Men of IsaC, stop your dreaming
Can’t you see their knives a’gleaming
See their YouTube vids are streaming
Blaming us for all
Men of IsaC stand ye ready
It can not be ever said ye
For the battle we were not ready
White Men never yield
Men of IsaC on to glory
This will ever be your story
Keep those burning ovens before ye
White Men never yield
Dressed in scarlet red tunics with spanking white pith helmets proudly belting it out for all to hear!

It’s always funny to see Whale Tongue attempt to sing the national anthem.
And who was that old cunt squawking out the Ukranian anthem? He’s like and even older, even uglier Mick Hucknall.
Plenty of luscious lovely fit pieces in the Ukraine end though.

And as for the Last Night of the Proms?
Bollywood crap,’self esteem'( i.e: wimmin and pooves), EU loving shite, and loads of ‘diversity’.
Another thing the BBC has destroyed.

I must admit, despite not being Welsh, ‘Land of my Fathers’ always leaves a lump in my throat upon hearing.
I’ve also always fealt that Land of Hope & Glory would be a much more rousing English Anthem.
Canada’s former ‘Maple leaf forever’ was an exceptional anthem, and I don’t know why they needed to change it.

Have to agree. I’m English but our national anthem is an awful dirge. all about God saving the king and smiting our enemies, two divisive issues there. We’re not all Royalist and we’re not all god botherers. The Welsh and the French Athens give me goosebumps especially when sung by full stadia at rugby tournaments. The passion is immense. Then we get Godddd Saaaave Our Graaacious Kinnnnggg. So dreary. I’d vote for I Vow To Thee My Country to fire up the blood

I’ve always ,as a jock, thought the British national anthem should be Land of Hope and Glory and England’s Jerusalem.
Scotland’s should be Scotland the Brave. I fucking hate Flower of Scotland.
