    Canada (in a few months) - probably a half-decent chance of making that squad too!

    WALES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]

    What do you expect with a middle & surname like Lewis Williams!!

    To be honest the line probably goes back too far to qualify (not that Toshack would be beating down my door anyway!!)

    England only since at least 1850. No chance of me taking US residency and throwing my passport in the bin.

    Not sure Othello is what I would call a sport but well done never the less.

    England and I think if you go quite a way back my Great Great Great Grandfathers dog's goldfishes cousin was Scottish so I can probably play for them too. That was all that Tony Cascarino had to do with Ireland FFS!

    England and Scotland for me. Possibly Northern Ireland - depending if the grandparents rule stretches back to great, great, great, great.

    Probably Oz too but not sure how far back that is...

    Suprised by the amount of German people have mixed with the good folk of SE London!!

    However the IOC seem to recognise ballroom dancing and life saving as sports - far more dubious than Othello. Even more dubious is gymnastics (a full olympic sport) where the whole result is determined by the opinion of judges.


    Like Boxing you mean ; - )

    Big German immigration to London in the late 1900s plus a lot of jewish refugees of German origin.

    We londoners are a Hybred nation, be proud of it.

    If your parents & grandparents were born outside the UK yet you hold a British passport you can pick any one of the home nations...

    Thanks for that explanation of Boxing. I've often wondered what the object of the sport was : - )

    In Olympic boxing the result is nearly always decided on points awarded by the judges in a similar way to Gym-elastics.

    Any way Othello is a game, not a sport.
