England next face Portugal, who knocked out the Nederlands, in a quarter final on July 1st.

I’ve been unable to find a free Wordpress blog template based on the St. George flag to celebrate the progress. While looking I found many, essentially racist, patriotic web-sites. Apparantly there is a serious movement in the UK to introduce an “English” parliament. There are distinct Welsh, Scottish and Irish parliaments. The English, not content with being the seat of the mother parliament, want their very own expensive extra level of bureaucracy too. They’re feeling left out.

As an English gal I find it difficult to view myself as part of a disadvantaged ethnic group in any way.
