    With the spectacular show of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, Chelsea FC conquering Europe, Rory McIllroy becoming number 1 in golf and Team GB cleaning up in the Olympics its has to be said that 2012 has been a very good year for us Brits.

    It seems a lot more people are becoming very patriotic, I've seen more and more Union flags flying high this year across the UK than in any other year.

    Doesn't it just make you proud.

    Don't know, don't follow the Irish team, due to the Irish athletics commissions sectarianism

    I understand, incorrect registrations are a nightmare that only seem to haunt protestants

    So what team did you attach your loyalty to in the Olympics and why?

    Huh?

    A young Northern Irish girl was not allowed to take part due to her religion and or location.

    Nothing to do with failed registrations

    It's sectarianism though, even though there are Prods in the Irish team.

    I don't know why anyone would want to be part of the Irish Olympic team The Irish team consists of gypo boxers, gypo horse riders and a few under nourished women that run and swim cos they're scared of what the nuns will do to them afterwards. They were all dressed in 70s trackies at the opening ceremony too.

    No mention of her saying "such as the fact i wasn't registered properly."

    But this isn't about Ireland or the Irish olympic team, this about being proud to be British. <ok>

    The Scots perform better under the Union Jack. It inspires them

    Would like to have a guess?
