Jealous of England? So this is what it all boils down to. I
wondered why you made your initial critical comment towards me.
I'm not sure if jealous is the right word, as there's not really
much to be jealous about (I was born after 1966). Perhaps it's my
French ancestry? All I know is I've always delighted in England's
misery.
No offense intended of course.

Thanks for the clarification, I don't think I'll aspire to the
level of sang-froid you suggest that you possess, nor the
propensity for schardenfreude.
So having tipped my hat to your ancestory and that of your most
recent conquerers (no offense intended of course), I'll wish us
both well as Phoenix fans.
Enjoy the season.
P.S. thanks for those lovely old Norman churches, and the invention
of the croissant
