London, Sunday: Following their football team's departure from Euro 2000 British Prime Minister Tony Blair has decreed that in order to maintain national pride and morale  England will "no longer compete in any form of sporting endeavour ever, ever again."

Along with football, England will no longer compete at cricket, tennis, athletics, squash, netball, lawn bowls, swimming, equestrian, modern pentathlon, archery,  and checkers. 

Rugby almost earned a special dispensation following their victory over South Africa but it was decided by English sports bosses that "...flashes in the pan, whilst fun, don't actually mean poop."
