    I might have been slow over 5 and 10 yards but I'm running 5k in 18 mins these days due to my track work and in September I came 75th out of 113 in the World Championships (for old people) in London, second Irishman of 9 across the line

    Funny I just read your better educated post before this and now reading this and i find some correlation, I used to do this running on a Thursday with similar worker types in the environs of where I work, and 2 Irish guys were one of the quickest for the 5k circuits and runs. They were doing sub 17 both of them. They mustn't have been running in that race They weren't much younger than you....

    Always a plug :P

    All those germans and poles are all the same anyway!

    yeah, but were they also swimming and cycling beforehand?

    "2 Irish were one of the quickest". Siamese twins? 3 legged race?

    sub-17 is proper fast though.

    Sorry for the error AB. I was guessing at their nationality! Poles, Germans, all the same to be...

    After all the hype of the last couple of weeks, we're back to Long faithfully running the channels without a sniff of goal and getting subbed after an hour. I'm sure Liverpool are falling over themselves to make a bid.

    Hehe, it's subtle - or perhaps I'm over-reading what is no more than a simple typo - but isn't Stutts wittily alluding to a prospective pan-European super-state?

    I know well, I was just pointing out the views held by Stutts in his Ivory Tower.

    Whatever about spanish and portugese or french and belgians, or dutch and germans or any south american countries, getting poles and germans who speak and pronounce and look a hell of a lot different...oh I don't know....

    Us plebs are in a green slimy ignorant bubble but somehow Stutts gets to live in the Ivory Tower?


    Primary school european geography, a european countries quiz.
    >90% is a good score, was on a good run but ran out of steam down in the Balkans
    98% would be an A+ but a standard score for the inveterate follower of Ireland in the qualifiers.
    100% means you're lying (probably went to UCD and think that means you should know things, without having the knowing).

    100% (But didn't go to UCD)

    Never run the 5k in under 21 minutes though, which is probably a more useful skill!

    Maybne I'm missing the dry wit in this post, but there was more than a hint of dry wit in mine. I'm quite sensitive to national differences.

    And I'm fully able to tell the difference between a German and a Pole. Miroslav Klose, Lukas Podolski...clear as day.

    Now you can try the USA map and see how you get on

    I missed Cyprus, thought it was Crete or at least I think it must be Crete.
    I thought Montenegro was somewhere between Greece and Dracula country, that James Bond travelled right across the Balkans to get to the Casino Royale?

    100% means you're lying (probably went to UCD and think that means you should know things, without having the knowing).

    Got 91%. only got one wrong completely Montenegro but was down to my third guess on a few.

    Took a few guesses to get Cyprus, it was almost off the edge the map which threw me, also was careless
    with my clicking, on the Czech Republic, should have got it right first time.
    Latvia and Estonia were tricky, I know they are up there somewhere near Russia but knowing which is which
    is the problem, then the is a bit of Russia cut off up there too, dunno how that happened.

    Did better than I though really it's a process of elimination.
    Slovakia and Slovenia are easy to get mixed up, unless you remember Slovakia was part of Czechoslovakia
    and Slovenia is near Italy. I used to struggle with Norway Sweden and Finland at one time.

    Also shouldn't Armenia and Azerbaijan be on there?
