=>Yeah, yeah!!<=

No? You could have fooled me.

Just look at football. There are more football fans in Britain than there are PEOPLE in Australia.

The projected number of fans expected to turn up at Premiership games this season (2005/06) is expected to be about 13.5 million, and that's lower than what it's been in previous years.

WOW how is that possible?Oh maybe because you have a higher population?!

"No Adam.... not really.

1 United States , 103
2 Russia, 92
3 China , 63
4 Australia , 49
5 Germany , 49
6 Japan , 37
7 France , 33
8 Italy , 32
9 South Korea , 30
10 Great Britain , 30 "


That was in last year's Olympics, but the total amount in all Olympics for the last 100 years or so puts Britain in third place, behind USA and Russia.

And Holland isn't even in the top ten, I see.

Holland is a province, provinces don't participate in the Olypics.

But that's not 13.5 million different people, is it?

Quoting myself: "AntiAussie - roo tastes like chicken but looks like a white steak when cooked and has its consistency. "

Sorry, thats crocodile.

Kangaroo is darker meat, much like steak in colour. I've only had it as a procuitto and it was *horrible*. Funny taste and texture.

I've had alligator, which must be similar to crocodile. It's white meat, but a little fishy. Can't say it thrilled me. I've only had kangaroo as sausage, so god knows what it tastes like alone.

That's right and is why I just assumed the English didn't win any Gold but rather all those other Britons (Scots, Irish, Welsh, the non-Northern English, etc) did for Britain.

Of course in earlier times when Britain was an empire it was able to exploit its position. But in recent Olympic times, almost nada in comparison!

That's am'eizing! (wasn't the fast show great? Heavenly!)

What a lame discussion. I'd better not taken the responsability to answer, but the sketch with the dunny beetle crossed my mind, I just had to post something.

Ah yes, the famous Amphibious Carnivorous Roo, who lurks in still waters, waiting to nab the unwary sheep...
