National Committee of Committee-holics Anonymous
Geez, they love their committees over here.
"In typical British fashion a committee was set up to consider flood defences, particularly in London. As a result, 30 years later, the Thames Barrier was built."
This quote was talking about the after effects of a flood disaster in northern Wales in 1953.
Here’s a serious question: can I resist the temptation to take the piss for one week? But I love winding people up (as I’m sure you all know). Sarcasm is my ONLY form of wit. Take England losing the recent soccer (can’t quite say football) loss to a ‘national’ team from Northern Ireland. What’s up with that? It would be like us fielding a Maori rugby in the Rugby World Cup, or a Chatham Islands team cunningly concealing our ‘B’ team so we have two chances at glory (or more likely twice the pain). The national game is not football, the national game is losing. And then whinging. And losing again. Until one glorious victory (1966 soccer World Cup, 2003 Rugby World Cup, the potential of a first Ashes series victory in 19 years). GLORIOUS!!
I’m not doing too well with the sarcasm challenge aye.
