    I did mock the North Koreans for their action purely because they wanted to make a political statement. I am sure you are well aware of the tensions between the North & South and this little "tantrum" was a pretty laughable way for the North to display their point of view and/or displeasure. For heavens sake it was an oversight but these can and unfortunately do happen. I just feel it was a massive over reaction for political purposes

    Just to throw in a contender for anthem. After its playing during last nights opening ceremony, surely Elgar's Nimrod could be used, certainly for the raising of Flags etc. And then nobody has to sing either.

    Nimrod, IMHO, is the best piece of music ever written by an English composer

    I'd say pretty much ANY of the Enigma Variations, they're all stirring pieces of music!

    But if you want pomp, which we do better than anyone else, then have a losten to Elagar's pomp and Cicumstance no 4. I think its better than Land of soap and water.

    I can't think of another piece that is more quintessentially English and played to a rendition of If by Rudyard Kipling you have a moment of pure magic

    I'd say that was definitely miss-firing!

    I've been firing blanks for nearly 30 years. Somebody asked me if it hurt but I told them only if I catch my fingers between the bricks.
