I am pissed off
So watching ECW from last night, an ad comes on advertising the live events coming up here in the UK. The Cardiff show (which is the capital of WALES) was listed as Cardiff, England.
![]() What a disgrace. Where's Class Act Carl when you need him to rant with.

Isn't Wales, you know, part of England? Kind of like how Princess Diana was Princess of Wales but in the British family...

TOVO, this isn't about America so we really shouldn't care about this topic.

The Welsh thing they are a different country or something. Anyhow, the British royal family are the monarch of Great Britian. Great Britian is England, Wales, Scottland, and Northern Ireland. To be techincal Wales is a constituent country. From what I understand a constituent country is a fancy name for England's bitch. I mean single American States have more power than a constituent county.

Sounds like they're sucking the tit, but don't want to call them mama.
And is it Dominican Republic or Puerto Rico that's mootching off the US but doesn't want to pay taxes or whatever? |

Puerto Rico is techincally a US Terriroty or possesion. Also, it would seem Puertor Rico has more self governing power than Wales.

Alright, I think I understand the complaint. Still, a pretty dumb reason to get pissed. It's like somewhere in between WWE promoting a show in Detroit USA and Detroit Washington DC as opposed to Detroit MI.

Yeah, Wales is part of the U.K only, not England.
I'd be pretty annoyed to be fair. |

But the Welsh are really proud of their independence and stuff. Like they are their own country and that, I guess it'd be more like a British-based wrestling promotion for example, saying that they were running a show in 'Toronto, USA' or something.

I think all the countries in the UK should have a massive war with each other for a couple of years and then hug it out and have tea and biscuits and haggis or whatever.

Funniest thing about this is, if Cardiff win the English Football/Soccer FA Cup on Sunday, they'll represent England in European Football tournaments next year.
Something they've no doubt always wanted to do......

And surely they've done enough shows here by now to know we are not England. Every time they come here the faces cut a promo slagging off England just so they get huge pops.

So if they said "UK" instead of "England" you wouldn't have a problem?

Lol that's what we get for playing in the English league. You can't seriously expect us to play in our own! That amateur league. I don't know why I'm saying 'us' I'm not even a Cardiff fan.

Expect the fact that when England tells you to jump you have to take their dick out your mouth first.

Why is it a different color on that map then?
He's presenting that map to us as fact. All the colors represent a different "country". Going by that map, London is its own country. Also, Jersey is apparently Jersey, London. Or possibly the other capitol, since it's the same color of London. But we all know its not, so that completely invalidates that example. Last edited by Xero; 05-16-2008 at 06:33 PM. |

It says regions, not country.
London is the capitol. |

If you look on the map, it's a picture for selecting a region. London obviously has enough population to warrant it's own region to select. I could go get another picture for you if I really must but I'm sure you get the idea and are simply just trying to be awkward.

Hey it doesn't bother me much that we are ruled by England and shit. It's just a basic fact, Cardiff is the capital of Wales. And for WWE to show their ignorance so blatantly like that is pretty insulting. They try and portray themselves as a worldwide phenomenon well they could atleast get their basic world geography right first.

Can hardly blame them for thinking that since cardiff want to take part in english football leagues/cups..maybe you should've thought of this before.

Yup, WWE are passionate followers of football/soccer, and the FA Cup, and will watch the final with avid interest tomorrow.

In all honesty, I much prefer American sports to ours. As you can probably gather from my avatar. Hate basketball though eww.
I only enjoy 'soccer' at the end of the season with the cup finals and play offs and stuff, when the games actually get competitive. Don't care for it the rest of the year though. Rugby rules though. |
