I enjoy belting out our national anthem at a big sporting event, think it's short and sweet personally, doesn't drag on.

I've been told (by a Serbian man) that chips were invented in Serbia. As was goulash. You wouldn't have wanted to disagree with him.

I would have thought they were Belgian

I know it is meant to be Iconic and all, but I can only assume it sounds BETTER when stoned?

Yes that's what I heard, the French bit is a bit of a red herring. Apparently.

Anyway, my favourite national anthem for some bizzarre reason is the French one. A nice zippy little tune!

I also used to like the Italian one because, typically for Italy, it is so over the top!

Well, it's not. When someone mucks up the words of an anthem with a worldwide audience of >100 million, then it's news.

Our national anthem is not only a pretty grim dirge, but also still contains the line "crush the rebellious Scots". How do those of you from north of the border feel about that?

Especially as the focus of the anthem's worship can't wait to drag her entourage for extended 'holidays' above Hadrians wall.
