"I am willing to fight a champion put up by the DVLA if they want to accept my challenge – but they must remember it is a fight to the death.
"The victor speaks in the name of God and justice so it is a reasonable enough way of sorting the matter out.
"I know I am in the right so I do not have anything to worry about. I am reasonably fit and not afraid of taking anyone on in a fight."
Traditionally fights under the trial by combat law used to be settled by combatants wielding swords, lances or staves with iron heads.
Former seaman Mr Humphreys said he was unsure which party would have the right to decide on the weapons used if the DVLA accepted his challenge.
But he added that he was prepared to fight with Japanese samurai swords, razor sharp Ghurka knives or even heavy blacksmith hammers.

Two years ago Grimsby fans threw dozens of beach balls and blow up footballs onto the pitch at Barnet when both teams were in the Conference.One fan was later found guilty of assaulting a football steward with an inflatable shark.The display was part of a protest after a fan was ejected from the ground at Forest Green Rovers for failing to hand over an inflatable football.

I unno, I think a lot of non-English Londoners I know would be keen to see a Guy Ritchie film in an "authentic" environment, don't know whether that disqualifies it or not.

i think an analysis of the true character of any nation would lead you down the same rabbit hole; any search for realness and authenticity brings you to the same place re: the insecurity of identity

one of the things Barthes does in the essays in Mythologies is explore a 1950s French experience of reflexively seeking authentic Frenchness so yeah this is definitely not unique to England.
not that this thread has ever been about the idea that dislocation from a national identity is uniquely English, we're just documenting the uniquely English expressions of it

been reading stories with the title 'I Am English' on experienceproject.com
I Am English
English Not British! I really hate it when you get those equal ops forms and you have to tick White British. I was Born in England. I Live in England which is part of the British Isles yes, but I am English.I cannot be British because for that to be so, my Mother would have had to be an extremely talented woman. She would have had to have given birth in all the countries in the British Ises, all at the same time, which isn't really possible is it? RobertaSunsetRobertaSunset 36-40, F 71 Responses

This doesn't mean much ethnically! I am a huge mixture of (mostly) European heritage, with the 'English' part including Celtic (Irish and Northumbrian) and Anglo-Saxon, and I grew up in England. My cousin traced my father's family back to the middle ages, and it's a wild mixture! :) ProfessorYaffleProfessorYaffle 41-45, F

23 April will soon be upon us and no doubt the celebrations will be conspicuous by their absence yet again.
Yesterday I caught the local Area Manager of J D Wetherspoon and asked what the Company intentions were, to which he replied that they didn't usually do anything special. He was certainly on our side.
I pointed out that this was not in the National interest and therefore might be considered treasonable, and also the publicity value of being the only big pub chain celebrating. He will be at head office today and will push the issue.
I'm sure that I don't have to urge you to do likewise. Please let us know who you kick! bilnicbilnic 70+, M 3 Responses
