A (late) video for July 4th

Well, the English themselves frequently confuse England, Britain and the UK. Can you really blame anybody else?

They should just call it Viroland and be done with it.
 
The sarcastic video was funny. Even more funny was the comments on the YouTube video site that can't get sarcasm & comedy.
 
I love Thomas's English Muffins. Those nooks and crannies are the best ever. Nice clip bbloke
 
Speaking of the Olympics and the UK. A French commentator (head of the sports department on France 2 in fact) at the closing ceremony in Peking "corrected himself" when he said "and with the British flag rising, no, excuse me the English flag we have a symbol of the future games for 2012," etc.. No joke.

Either he was being deeply ironic or got his political correctness the wrong way round.

Back in Wales yesterday there were big celebrations for some Olympic athletes in the Welsh capital Cardiff. Only one Union Jack could be seen in a sea of Welsh flags. A TV channel showed an old clip of a similar event thirty years ago in Cardiff and not one Welsh flag was visible (all Union Jacks). How things have changed.
 
I can't wait to see the next Olympics when the new "Republic" flags that use to be part of the Georgian Republic file into the stadium.
