soggy biscuit ZacNaloen soggy biscuit Top research. Drinking is allowed in Qatar.
Wiki Under Qatar's Sharia, it is illegal to show alcohol or be drunk in public.
LOL. How much do we hear on the news about the problems in Britain with drunks etc yet as soon as someone wants us to not get drunk in public we are upset!
There are designated drinking areas already and they have said they will also relax the laws further.
Not many on here will take notice of you Soggy,so many have their preconceived ideas of everything outside of the UK.
Already everyone else is more corrupt than us-yes,in a year when the majority of our MPs have been diddling their expenses including our current prime minister.
Ours was the best bid-did everybody read all of the others and ours and make comparisons or do we take whatever is printed in The Sun as fact?
Ours was the best presentation today-did they all listen in depth to the others?
As for Beckham (I won't disappoint you Foxy)-does he not realise that people in other countries have grandads?
And as for the I won this,I won that,I won the other, I got us to the world cup-I thought it was a team game Becks.
As for Johnny come lately Cameron and a member of our Royal Family-I'm not sure the rest of the world is really interested.
I think English people ought to ask themselves why these other countries don't like us?
On the face of it the bid should have been a shoe-in on historical grounds because of it being 44 years during which Germany for example have had it twice and we are a footballing nation and the venue was to be in Europe.
Face up to it, a lot of the rest of the world don't like us and it's hardly surprising when you see our folk when they step away from our little island and behave as if they own the world.
We are the Milwall of Europe and many of our people don't even want to be in Europe unless they want to go there on holiday.
Oh well all the Little Englanders can blame Sepp Blatter,FIFA,BBC,Sunday Times et al because somebody has to be blamed.
