I don't know Morrissey doesn't move to South Australia. I mean, every second person in Adelaide is a fucking whinging pom who moved from Bristol and spend their lives talking about how wonderful it is that the weather is 35 degrees. Jesus fucking Christ, why don't those people go back from where they came from?

OK, quick, somebody call me a racist.

How the fuck do you dance to The Cribs?

how do you dance to any indie rock? stand mostly still and bang your head about a bit

Or that kind of weird effeminate version of skanking indie boys do.

I can't believe Geir was in London and didn't try to go for beers with us.

fuck, i would have fapped if geir was there.

Have he and Morrissey been swapping notes on Knightsbridge?

Geir was possibly too busy visiting the offices of Q and Mojo to hang out with you black-music lovers.

I have no idea if he's a racist or not - but he did the smart thing in getting out of England. It's a shithole full of angry, repressed, frustrated, alcoholic, ill-educated people crammed on to part of a tiny island. Give me the US, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, or Scotland any day.

I guess I was too busy going through HMV and Virgin's back catalogue racks, and then visiting all those wonderful ethnic restaurants that apparently Moz doesn't like. You know, while I love English music, there is no way I'd possibly even get remotely close to archetypical English food. :)

like tikka masala

Geir Hongro: not fucking with a chip cob

Our food culture has been totally diluted.

Is it Norway or Sweden where a popular fast food is hot dog sausage covered in prawn mayo in a potato pancake?

Fair comment, after all not many Scots are angry, repressed and alcoholic.

It's Norway, a "polse".

Swedish fast food = rancid meatballs

Sweden has the world's only immigrant sports team that's ascended to professional playing level, so kudos to them there.

ILX need 1x Geir recipe thread.

"White Pudding"

"Crackers"

Haha, OK, fair enough.

But then again, weren't 70% of Italian football teams set up, and originally consisting nearly entirely of, English workers?

"You sayin' I huv not always, eh, acquitted myself in the manner accustomed of a professional athlete, if you will? Outside ya jakey."

Actually no, because the Irish weren't technically immigrants in 1875 or 1888

And yes, British immigrants/ ex-pats set up football teams all over the world

I love how a thread on whether Morrissey is a racist can run the whole gamut of national abuse, including a spot of French-bashing, English-bashing, having a go at Scandinavian food, and topped off with someone opining that "Americans, Australians, and Brazilians are all awful people"!

i don't think all of the french football players are immigrants. like their colonies were formally part of france or something.

Be fair, there's been love shown for Norwegian food and Syrian immigrant football teams

and White Pudding.

I'm pretty sure the entire French national team was born after the African reclamations of the early 60s, Quitney.

You can't beat how Australian "soccer" got rid of all the ethnic teams (basically supported by Italians, Greeks and Serbs) and replaced them with generic teams (basically supported by ex-pat poms).

Another reason why La Moz should move here.

Also, I had a hot dog last time I saw Adelaide United play. Hmmmm.

French football players aren't immigrants because they were all born and brought up in France (probably, couldn't be arsed to check). Their parents/grandparents were the immigrants.

and topped off with someone opining that "Americans, Australians, and Brazilians are all awful people"!

Who said that?

Patrick Donalé Vieira (born June 23, 1976 in Dakar, Senegal)

and that other guy.

Wrong. Very wrong.

Claude Makélélé (born February 18, 1973 in Kinshasa, Zaire)
Patrick Donalé Vieira (born June 23, 1976 in Dakar, Senegal)
Patrice Evra (born 15 May 1981 in Dakar, Senegal)

Ok ok ok, I bow to your superior knowledge!

Senegal is getting diddled here, isn't it?

Marcel Desailly (born September 7, 1968 in Accra, Ghana)

Thuram, Guadeloupe. Malouda, French Guiana. Etc etc etc.

i was gonna say faye but he actually plays for senegal.
