Armando Iannucci is a 100% legend!  Cool

The Thick of It and I'm Alan Partridge maybe the reason why the television was invented....although, I sadly have no evidence to back this claim up. Genius!

Would it have spoiled the KWIK-SAVE colour scheme to have included at least one black player icon in the 11 man squad in your wallchart?  A bit of racist-retro chic never hurt nobody, eh?

You're talking about the advert?

How fucking dare you. There was never any blue in the Kwik-Save logo.

The little stick figures bottom left I imagine.   Technically, they look white because of the Tesco colour scheme.  They're just symbols though, no identity attributed to any of 'em (although they're all clearly Christian and Monarchist from the speech bubble  Grin).  

A quick glance back at the first post bigging up our (clearly multi-ethnic) interviewees "Featuring Sticky, Kasper Schmeichel, Armando Iannucci, Arsher Ali, and your free World Cup wallchart" probably indicates to the majority that we ain't no Little Englanders!   Good to be challenged though.

Lets not forget Des Walker on the cover either.

Why should we defend ourselves against accusations of racism from an anonymous bell-end over an advert? Here's a felt tip pen, duck; stick it up your arse and fuck off while you're doing it.
by Lord of the Nish Jun 07, 2010, 06:08:17 pm
Nish, remind me never to piss you off.!!!!

Got the wall chart flying loud and proud here are work too... surrounded by fkin Ozzies who seem to seriously think the Soccer-who's have a good chance of beating england... and you thought we had delusions of grandeur when it came to the world cup..!  Shocked
