Alneyan, would I be right in saying that you are of the French persuasion?
You were partially right because you didn't extend antipodean to include people from the f-arse side of the planet, but being French (if you are), I would not expect you to understand all "ros beouf" nuances.
I hope things do work out that England meet the French in the World Cup, it will just be like Agincourt, Poitiers and Crecy all over again
