Well they certainly seem to have got to you. Whatever. I'm just an occasional cricket fan who loves the rare occasions when we do beat the Aussies, as I suffered so much stick from my Australian friends back in the UK over the years, who love to rub it in every time Australia beat us. I'm happy to put up with the friendly ribbing, but just don't like it when it starts turning into something more nasty.
I'm not a member of the Barmy Army (unless simply being English makes you that by default. I could be counted as part of the Toon Army, but that's different). I've never deported any convicts anywhere, nor was I involved in the attack on the Eureka Stockade, I never sent any troops over the top at Gallipoli, introduced rabbits to Australia, or anything else you might want to blame on any of my countrymen.
But let's drop this now and move on, eh?
Tim, I hope you produce a beautiful English Old Ale, that you age for a year or so, and then when you taste it during the next Ashes, it knocks you for six!
