[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 119080"] Many times over my short, yet illustrious life, people have asked me "Prestwick, how can I be just as good a fan as you?" or "Prestwick, how did you get your beard to be so awesome?" or "Prestwick, can you lift your feet up while I hoover?" I have lots of time for questions people ask me, but one thing I could say when answering the first questions it to know the usual facial expressions that each fan has. They are all pretty varied and colourful but each nation's fanbase have unique facial expressions which, if you are colour blind or stuck in a place where jerseys are frowned upon, it is vital in order to assertain what nationality the fan supports. And so, onto the guide! [b]EXPRESSION ONE: THE ANDREW ROBINSON USED BY: ENGLAND FANS[/b] England fans have a hard life, watching like a modern day Dick Dasterley all of their well laid plans turn to dust can be very frustrating especially with the sledging from other fans. Thus usually, England fans can use one of two facial expressions at their disposal. The first is the usual Andy Robinson "angry" face because, well, it is pretty damn annoying that England have picked Ballsack [i]again[/i] and also, you'll probably be in the process of burping while pulling the face which only adds to the...angriness...

One of shock, one of looking like one has been slapped in the face with a kipper. This calls for Martin Corry! [img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/221/516845037_bde4474bb3.jpg[/img] [b]EXPRESS THREE: THE HAPPY BOK USED BY: SOUTH AFRICAN FANS[/b] Springboks tend to be a happy bunch of people, as long as they have a beer in their hands and a spicey sausage in the other, it could be Harlow Rams RFC vs Uzbekistan, they'd still cheer for the Boks and dance crazily when a 7ft, 20 stone Russian crashes over the line and is drunkenly mistaken for Bryan Habana.
