World Cup

[tlclark]

Wouldnt that also apply to the Swiss

And Tunisia.... but I am happy if any team from the Empire wins, even better if a Liverpool player scores or plays well!

Empire!! hock: Good golly! We are having a real anglosphere moment here aren't we!!

God Save the Queen!! :wink:

BTW - Actually this is a question I've wanted to have answered for a long time. The London Philaharmonic came here to play. They started graciously with the Star-spangled banner and after the performance ended with "Rule Britannia" and "God Save the Queen" and one other song I had never heard before about making Jerusalem on England's shore. It was great, It was like suddenly being transported back to Edwardian England. Apparently this is traditional.

Graham, Do you know the title of the third song?

Ok, one last "empire" story. We had a potluck luncheon at the dept. to welcome new faculty members to the College of Arts and Sciences. The idea was to bring a food from your ethnic homeland. A Pakastani new faculty member brought cucumber sandwiches and tea cakes!! The Empire will never die!

Cheers!
