I will be wearing red tonight to supprt my Welsh team (though I admit that England need all the support they can get)
I will also be looking for a new provider when my contract ends.
Seriously ?!?!?!
That's it - I'm never going to Wales on my holiday ever again.
I will also be filing for a divorce from my Welsh wife....
I really wish my life was so perfect that this was all I had to get offended about

I'm Welsh but taking offence over a sponsorship is taking national pride to a silly level. Carling used to sponsor the England football team, I wonder if anyone stopped drinking it just because of that.
No worries, we'll get the same sort of reaction from the Scots, the Irish and hopefully the French and the Italians.... why the hell they were included in the home nations is open to debate!

You start off sarcastic, then angry, then condescending and finish of on a joke.
It's great.
@viridis Well you did get it in the end. It was a joke. Not a great joke I gladly admit, but a joke nevertheless. There may well have been a soupçon of sarcasm, but certainly no anger and definitely no intentional condescension. I think perhaps you were reading between the letters and the spaces as well as between the lines.
For a much better example of sarcasm I could perhaps refer you to a message timed at 18:13 here

Yes I think I would be forced to give those sheep a miss from now on
