the right one
thats about the size of it. I lived in Denmark and Cov if you had run a union jack up your flagpole (EVERYONE flys the national flag or pennant unless they are in an apartment block or something) you would have had the whole neighbourhood round. They take it very seriously.
That said, I would never support their national team just because I lived there, I even went to support NI in Odense once just to annoy some of my pals. but then I had no intention of staying. I did cheer them on as long as they werent playing England, its just manners and if your friends are doing it and are bang into the game why f***ing not. They would never accept me or anyone else as really Danish anyway, they think we are definately second rate compared to them. They have not been sold 'multiculturalism' in the insane delusional way we have. It just won't wash there.
I have been to Denmark several times hence the example. Yes the Danes are a very proud people. I would love someone to tell them there is no such thing as being ethnically Danish.
