| The soldier has been named as 20 year old Scott McLaren of The Highlanders. Highlander McLaren was snatched and executed by the Taliban yesterday after he inexplicably wandered off alone from a remote checkpoint in southern Afghanistan. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/07/05/artic... |

The cop, of London's Metropolitan Police, was so distraught he atte... |

| The English are crazy for their curry. They had more curry restaurants over there then we have donuts shops. The place to go in the UK if you want a curry is The Balti Triangle in Britain's second-biggest city Birmingham. Balti houses are clustered along Ladypool Road, Stoney Lane and Stratford Roa... |

| It'd be interesting if an earthquake struck during a match. uh...why would something like that be even remotely interesting? The matches will be shown live on TV to millions of people around the world. If, during one of these televised matches, an earthquake struck it would, of course, be interesti... |

| It's the Rugby Union World Cup in New Zealand later this year. It'd be interesting if an earthquake struck during a match. As long as it doesn't occur when Johnny Wilkinson or Toby Flood are about to hit the winning drop goal with seconds remaining in the Final against Australia then it won't matter. |

| I think the Irish will be little miffed with the Harp prominently displayed. So what? That's their problem. Northern Ireland is, remember, a part of the UK and that's why the harp is on that flag. The harp represents Northern Ireland and also appears on the Royal Standard. The Royal Standard of the... |

| It's quite simple really. The Three Lions, Lion Rampant and the harp represent the constituent parts of the United Kingdom. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Kingdom_of_England.png/250px-Kingdom_of_England.png The Three Lions in the top left of that flag re... |
