Who's going to win Euro 2004?
English humour starting to come through on some BBs..
here are a few examples.
A man is walking his three-legged dog in the park when he comes across a lamp. He rubs it and out pops a genie. The genie says "I'll grant you one wish." "Can you make my dog win Crufts?" asks the man. "What with only three legs? Wish again." the genie retorts. "OK" says the man, "Can you make England win Euro 2004 then?" The genie ponders a while before saying "let's see that dog again....."
Q: What's the difference between the England team and a tea-bag?
A: The tea-bag stays in the cup longer.
Q: What do a three-pin plug and the England football team have in common?
A: They are both useless in Europe!
A man meets a friend and sees that his car is a total write-off and covered with leaves, grass, branches, dirt and dried blood. He asks his friend: "What's happened to your car?" "Well," the friend responds, "I ran over David Beckham". "OK," says the man, "that explains the blood... But what about the leaves, the grass, the branches and the dirt?" "Well, he tried to escape through the park."

A little follow up to that story. The referee got 16.000 (!) hatemails, a bunch of death-threats and is now under police protection in a hidden place while his shop is being guarded by the police.PeterF wrote:THe English gutter press have exceeded them-selves yet again..
