Especially if your an rugby fan, which seems to be a prerequisite!........
Q: Why aren't the England team allowed to own a dog?
A: Because they can't hold on to a lead.
Q: What's the difference between the England team and
a tea-bag?
A: The tea-bag stays in the cup longer.
Q. What's the difference between the English and a jet
engine?
A. A jet engine eventually stops whining.
Q.Did you hear about the UK politician who was found dead in an English rugby jersey?
A.The police had to dress him up in women's underwear in order to save his family from the embarrassment.
Q. Did you hear that the UK Post Office has had to recall their latest stamps with pictures of English rugby players on them.
A. People couldn't figure out which side to spit on.
Just a small example of e-mails doing the rounds in many new zealand offices at the moment.
All written and taken in the spirit of good humour as we know we will get even..... |

Seriously, when I used to fly down from Edinburgh to Gatwick I often wondered if I had caught wrong plane and landed in Ghana  |

Just jealousy!!!!! Nothing to worry about!
I remember the jokes going round the office about the Australian rugby team around the time of the world cup... now they were funny!
I much prefer football anyway so it doesn't really bother me. It'll be funny to be on the receiving end of the joke for a change though... maybe...  |
