poliphiloIt's the first day of the World Cup- and most of urban England looks like this...
It makes me a little nervous. I remember a time (not so long ago) when the only people who flew the cross of St. George were vicars (from their church towers) and nazis- and I still associate it with racism and male violence.
We drove through Glodwick this afternoon- the entry level Muslim area on the far side of the hill. No flags there. Not a single one.

2. The Greek team loses, people of the nationality of the winning team come to Astoria to rub the Greeks's faces in the loss -- and they cause a ruckus.
By ruckus I mean drunken fights.
