Flying flag for the Azzurri.Byline: david BANKS David Banks (born 24 September 1951 in Hull, England) is a British actor. His television roles include EastEnders and Brookside and also he was the Cyberleader in the science fiction series Doctor Who AND now to the vexed question VEXED QUESTION, vexata quaestio. A question or point of law often discussed or agitated, but not determined nor settled. of who to support for Euro 2008. The BBC BBC in full British Broadcasting Corp. Publicly financed broadcasting system in Britain. A private company at its founding in 1922, it was replaced by a public corporation under royal charter in 1927. has been focusing on this heavily in the run-up, as if we are all in a real quandary now that England are not in it - the assumption being that we would all have been flying flags of St George had our neighbours not been dumped out in the qualifiers. Who to support has always been an issue this side of the border, so it has taken a little thought. It was settled in the Banks' household by a gift from Banks junior's uncles. He was presented with a full Italy strip, on the grounds they might win, and that's a good enough reason to support the Azzurri. It might seem fickle supporting a team on such a tenuous basis, but a Daily Post colleague from deepest North Wales has been a lifelong fan of Spurs as a result of the gift of a strip at an early age; footballing allegiances defy logic and rightly so. They're in a tough group though, with France, the Netherlands and Romania, so if they go the way of my previous football predictions, we could be looking for a new team upon which to bestow our support rather soon. Until then, Forza Italia! |
