Tie me Kangaroo down sport?

Tie this down ya bloody boof head.

in the uk we have digital tv already, we call it freeview, and it is a cheapo little box that goes between your standard coaxial ariel and the old tv.

Where you would only have 5 channels, yes seriously 5 channels, you now have about 70.

A freeview box can be had for £20 from Maplins ($40 from Radio Shack)and it seriously takes longer to decribe that than it does to install.

As for the 2012 cut off date, it will by then be 3 guys on the Isle of Uist who object to buying anything new at all.

The UK is good for that sort of entrenched craziness.

It's craziness if you're poor, eccentrics require more funding.

Ah, so what? America is only America if the Whites are in the majority?

Surely if all these "immigrants" become citizens then it'll still be the USA?

I fail to see where the story is here?

English as a minority language? Wasn't english , and Dutch, minority languages right up until your forebears killed as many Indians (old definition) as they could?

Do you think that the future US Presidente, will come down so hard on the Mexicans? Or Will she just be a bit frosty to her parents if they start busting her baqlls?

This is my favourite axe. It's had 3 handles and 2 heads. This is my favourite axe.

the kids were taken with the best of intentions...

well yes, but you have to consider what a society's "best intentions" actually were.

The kids of mixed race were removed because they were considered salvagable.

The expressed intention was to breed out the black aspects over the generations to come.

But it wasn't just mixed race kids who were removed.

Lip service was paid to the idea of saving kids from "incomotent parents" but considering the autorities despised all aboriginals as being cave men and retarded, this provided a LOT of room for interpretation.

And as for the govt reversing itself on the apology, you are aware that there are more than just 1 political party i Australia right?

The coalition (Liberal and National parties) have opposed every single concession to the indigenous folks, if they spoke their minds truely they'd have citizenship rescinded from Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders so quick it'd make their heads spin.

The apology was needed, and I really don't care what the right wing crypto racists say,the treatment of the indigenous peoles was morally wrong, and has been a stain on the soul of the country for a long long time.

And anyone who can actually argue in favour of removing 10-30% of kids from their families, and not see it as cultural genocide is deluding themselves.

If it was done to white kids Canberra would be on fire.

Noxious species in Oz are a major problem.

Ideally they should never have introduced Camels , or more famously, rabbits. But most enviromentalists worth their salt in Oz would include cats. dogs,foxes,sheep, cows and of course rats.

Camel is delicious. as is Roo,Croc and Emu too

a small point.

All modelling clays are dense.

From dense to very dense.

Put your mouse in your hand

now imagine trying to use a mouse that's 10 to 15 times heavier.

There are lighter materials, but they are non deforming gels, which defeats the purpose of a moulded fit.

there's that Venn diagram that neato added, but up close.

It is effectively the same as the arlier one with the addition of the Isle of Man and the channel islands, Guernsey and Jersey..

I can see the point regarding tagging Eire with being part of theBritish Isles.

Several hundred years of trying to get the british empire out of your country will make it a ticklish subject.

Perhaps a return to the ancient names?

Oileáin Iarthair Eorpa = Irish

Ellanyn Goaldagh = Manx

Eileanan Breatannach = Scots Gaelic

Ynysoedd Prydain = Welsh

But considering the last two say Ilses and British /Britain that would seem to be translation for it's own ends.

Right, well I'm half Jock half Paddy, so am a rich vein for potential offence at this venn diagram.

But I think it's pretty much spot on.

The system of Islands from Sark to Saint Kilda are the British Isles.

The 2 main masses are Great Britain and Ireland.

Great Britain composes of 2 kingdoms and a Principality, towhit, England Scotland and Wales respectively.

The UNited Kingdom composes the afore mentioned Great Britain AND the Province of Northern Ireland,or Ulster if you'd prefer.Though 3 counties of Ulser are part of the ROI

Eire, or the Republic Of Ireland composes the remaining 3 provinces of the Isle of Ireland, ie Munster Leinster connaught

I know it seems convoluted but it really is simple.

I consider myself Scottish, but I am also British.

We're a very small country that has consistantly punched so far above it's weight that it is barely credible.

So I never mind being called British, coz I am.

I only hate it when A scot succeds he is suddenly British, when the same Scot fails, he is relagated to being Scottish.

Keep your ear open for this regardig Andy Murray the tennis player.

In Oz, the sausage sizzle is a bit of fixture and fitting for any event, like a school fund raiser or small charity event.

A$1 for a slice of white a SNAG and some onion, bit of grated Coon Cheese (mate, that's the name of the cheese), bit of dead horse and you're away.

Dead Horse old time ryhming slang, Dead Orse Tomato Sauce.

helps if you say in in broad and swift Ocker.

In Denmark they do Polser (spelling?) Bright red dirt water dogs in a short bun with yellow and red, as per normal, but sprinkled with crispy fried onions.

Love em.

Best "Hot Dog" in the truest sense though, was a filthy, "lips n assholes" one from Shea Stadium.

I loved it.

Didn't H&K develop the CAW (combat assualt weapon) which was a fully auto shotgun.

Over and above that...BLACKWATER!!!

VD?

yeah where I come from that the Pox.

I'm sorry if you read exasperation as arrogant prosletising.

I was raised catholic and grew to loathe Christianity in all it's forms as a death cult determined to leach the joy out of life.

If my ire at people who decide,with divine accord, that others should die because of what they do in the sack is too annoying for you I suggest you adjust your criteia.
