Shame, shame.

Dan has been living with me for almost a year and tonight was the first night he really got mad with me. I'd been at the movies, watching Chumscubber (pretty good). When I came out I was overwhelmed by the honking of horns and the cheers of bogans, which I figured could only mean one thing

I reckon the important thing about the "we won" phrase is the "we" - I mean supporting a sports team is really just about community. I think the basic idea of people that have to live together anyway in a city or a country feeling that they have something in common is a pretty good one. And sport's a pretty good way to cut through the boundaries within Australia - I don't reckon it was just bogans who were pretty pleased that Australia won today, far from it. Then again, I agree sport is kind of silly. But so is rock & roll. And rock & roll is awesome.

If you want to be part of a community start doing volunteer community service. There is no right or wrong.

in that case your moral indignation is probably not justified

Ben young you fool, you leave yourself wide open to be slagged off. WE WON and ENGLAND WON so a bloody good time so far. Embrace sport, dont hate it cos its beautiful. Ollie

I am aware that most don't share my views and will embrace the chance to slag me off, however when either of those teams suffer their inevitable defeat I will be content to get along with my life as usual, while you and many other sports fans will suffer an unnecessary wave of anger and depression as a result of your dedication to something which is nothing more than a game.

It sounds like you are suffering an unnecessary wave of anger and depression all of your own Ben Young.

I enjoy every moment I can stir the pot.
