With regards to last night I INSIST we invade Germany and take our bicycles back!
If that is a tad too ambitious I want to at least perform a raid on Gdansk and raid 'Die Mannschafts' hotel.

we could invade all the small countries (really small; Monaco, San Marino, Leichtenstien, the Faroe Islands basically the teams Scotland can score against in qualifying) and slowly build up a decent, albeit dispersed, landmass.
Mon Colonel, i would like to apply for promotion from Caporal (assuming i've not been bust recently) to King of Monaco"I think i am becoming a god."
