My mate used to work in a pub like that in Luton. I pissed some Luton FC supporter off for no discernable reason so he asked me where I was from. I said Belfast and since I have a London accent, he incorrectly assumed I was a Loyalist and started singing songs about the "Huns" (term of abuse for Protestants) and the whole pub joined in.
Then some guy went to have cocaine in the bathroom and everyone forgot what was happening. Don't think I've ever drunk more Strongbow than that night... Remember taking a circuitous route home because I saw two guys approaching the other way and then passing out until 2pm the next day. Bloody England.

Don't think its any different in venezuela.
I was in caracas a few months back visiting my in-laws, and made the mistake of walking among the streets with a baseball cap of the Regional baseball team of "Las Aguilas del Zulia" (Zulia's Eagles).
See in venezuela there's a regional team for each state, but none has a bigger rivalry than Zulia's team and Caraca's team (For caracas is "Leones de Caracas" or "Caracas' Lions")
Try and guess what happened when I just walked IN FRONT of a sports bar in caracas, with a Zulia's Eagle baseball cap.
Go on, guess. I didn't even entered the bar, just walked in front of it on my way to a grocery store.

Every time people want to compare "civilized" societies to "backwards" countries, I will remind them that in "civilized" countries we still have people who beat and murder each other, and riots, because someone lost a game.
@Rank- what happened?

Oh, somehow avoided mentioning Chomsky.
I'll rectify that

What an excellent application of wisdom from such an admirable source!

Got called every name in the book by 3 drunkards near the door, since I ignored them they decided to take it to the next level and threw a bottle at my head.
=/
Unluckily for them, a cop saw it and arrested them. But still I had a nasty lump in my head for a week.
Yo dawg i heard that you are from venezuela so we added a fake US address to your addres, and send a ticket to the customer services so they answer: you why you are not elegible?, and fix the problem by making you able to take the annual pass. So you can now play Diablo while you ride! ... bro thats what i did, i changed my venezuelan address for my sister's US address and then email customer service asking why im not eligible, they told me to wait, and try again and SUCCESS!
o_O a compatriot venezuelan?
anyways I can't do that.
A: I don't know any US address.
B: I don't have a credit card either.
C: I am not approved by CADIVI, so I can't get dollars, so I can't pay for the annual pass even if I had a credit card.
Ohh well, q bueno ver un paisano por aqui :P

So, Blizzard is going to invite Annual Pass players first for the beta... Nice :)
Well yeah, that was one of the main selling points of it.
We’re inviting Annual Pass holders in waves over the course of the beta test.
That is what blizzard said on the
Beta opt-in and FAQ
And that's what DoctorLore told you.

and knowing the blatant need to complain by most people, they'll whine if they're not in the first wave of invites. Doesn't matter that they have a GUARANTEED spot, if its not the first wave, its worthless.
/sarcasm-ON
Because getting into the beta 3 weeks after everyone else TOTALLY ruins it and makes the annual pass SO NOT WORTH IT
/sarcasm-OFF

Ouch rank...
My dad's friend watched an English football game against Germany in an English pub. There was one German guy there cheering for Germany with a thick German accent and Germany won (as always). He somehow walked out without even being threatened... Could you imagine buying a beer in there? Cerveza es bueno! Glad they got arrested at any rate.
Oooh and I remember just after the US-England draw I walked into a pub and almost everyone was wearing the England kit. Someone told me "it's a $%^&ing shame isn't it" and I said "well, it could be worse" and I got stares since my accent is slightly American (to a Londoner, to an American it's 100% English).
@MyTie: I see your mind tricks! Bishop to Barbican!
