Seriously, its in our nature, we hate winners but will make legends of the plucky losers. I remember when I climbed the Sydney Harbour bridge in Australia, there were photos of all the people who had done it too. Recently the Olympics had been held there and there were pictures of loads of Olympic athletes posing proudly at the top with their medals. I didn't recognise any of them but was then overjoyed to see a photo of Eric the Eel. For those of you who dont know, this is a guy from some little African country who took part in the swimming sprint and had to stop for a rest half way. Ridiculed in his own country bringing shame on it, he is a legend over here. We love these sort of people and hate winners, why do you think Man Utd, arguably the greatest club in the world is hated so much?
Then we have Eddie the Eagle Edwards, a guy who easily finished last in the ski jump Olympics but set a British record despite the fact there are no ski jumps in Britain, instant legend!
So if you're crap at anything, come to Britain to promote it, we will worship you!:nod::thumbup:D

He already appolgised, dude. Personally I find it a bit of a fuss over nothing. People call Irish people, Paddies in an affectionate way and they dont get offended and neither was this Asian guy. Harry has put his life on the line fighting at the fronts until some twatty Australian gave his whereabouts away placing all Allied forces in danger. Yeah, he can be a bit of a twat at times but he fought for our country. That takes greater precedence over him being a bit un PC to a guy who didn't mind, the army is full of tough, brave men who easily shake off a bit of non PC humour.:nod:
 
Wtf has this thread got to do with the Royal Family anyway? If you want to have a pop at them, start a thread in the debate section about it. This was about Sport and our attitude to it, I fail to see what Prince Harry fighting for our country has to do with any of this.
 
you really shouldn't mess with trinas friends:24:

by the way peter......i think the jamaican bonsleigh team were on they're final run and in a medal position.....pretty heroic considering the climate in jamaica.....and eddie the eagle was popular because of the funny stuff he said
