What should be our national anthem? Nominations please.

[Paulus]

Being serious, another vote for Land of Hope & Glory.

Not being serious, we should nick the Italian one.

TVC, I'm with you on this. But I do think the Italian anthem has a bit of passion about it though.

How about something really stirring for those podium appearances, and forget about lyrics altogether?

Imagine the flag going up to Also Sprach Zarathustra!

Well, in that case:

Flower Of Scotland all the way...... and as wind blows now and under the leadership of the most manipulating politician in UK who eats Osbourne & Cameron for breakfast every morning, our new national anthem will be Flower Of Scotland.

and forget about lyrics altogether?

I admit your idea is better but no lyrics you say?

Something pertinent to the current economic recovery?

Can't we have something like this?

Or this?

I AM being serious....

It is as dull as ditch water, but come independence (maybe), I have always liked this:

If you are meaning "British" anthem the suggestions for Jerusalem and Land and Hope and Glory are just moronic...they are as pro-English as the current dirge, in fact even more so. Not an ounce of Britishness at all, unless you view England and being Britain which I am sure a few people here do.

Hopefully we'll have independence soon and you can then choose whatever antiquated pish you want.

Since it's the sportsmen & women who do the hard work to get on the podium I think we should let each individual gold medallist select whatever music they would like to hear. I think there'd be some belters

You do realise that there is the woman from Curaçao who is competing as an independent in the Laser Class sailing don't you?

She said that if she won gold, then they would either play the Olympic anthem or something of her choice!

Just leave it to Brian May...
