A local Pom has today arrived at work with not much to smile about, after the downfall of two of the last remaining sources of pride for Englishmen and women.
43-year-old corporate recruiter, Neil Gilbert (originally from Slough, UK) had already endured a painful summer watching his countrymen get dismantled by the baggy green.
The shame of the 2025/26 Ashes culminated on Day 5 at the SCG in early January, as the Barmy Army were drowned out by drunken Aussie fans celebrating their nation's hard fought 4-1 victory.
This humbling summer of cricket was followed by the release of the Epstein files, exposing a vast number of brazen nonces within the British political class.
Of course nobody has brought more shame to the British people than the man formerly known as Prince Andrew, who has been stripped of his Royal titles before being arrested on the charges of misconduct in public office late last week.
He is the first member of the British Royal family to be arrested since King Charles I was arrested and executed in the middle of London nearly 400 years ago.
The downfall of the British empire began to accelerate on Saturday night, as the men wearing the English Rose endured two halves of escalating misery in their first rugby defeat at Twickenham since November 2024.
England's Six Nations campaign ended in blood and tears as the poms were ejected from title contention following a 42-21 battering at the hands of Ireland at Twickenham.
As a once proud Englishman, Neil Gilbert has arrived at work today in a somber mood, knowing all too well that his Australian colleagues are just itching to remind him that his country is run by pedos and is shit at sport.
"Ha ha ha! Not a good weekend for you lot" says his Australian colleague, Keith.
Neil attempts to brush off the cruel comments but his naturally thin British skin makes him unable to not bite back.
"Oh why don't you go jump in a lake!" he snaps back
"I'd rather be a prisoner of his majesty than a charmless antipodean brute!"
"Rule Britannia!"
