Come on over sometime.
Yea, I know that proof of claims over the internet are impossible, but really, that doesn't scare me much. You might think we are all pansies, but I assure you that I am not from that family.

Hey... you know that America was Britain's convict colony for a hundred odd years before you had that silly War of Independence. After that they switched to Australia for 90 odd years. Just think if you didn't have that War... you could have had all the convicts... the union jack in your flag... God Save the Queen as your national anthem... and you'd all still be drinking tea instead of coffee.

It's all mainly tongue-in-cheek Drongo. Meant to be a laugh. First one to get upset is admitting that the truth hurts. Or something like that...

Yea, I haven't written that someone is a "cocksucker" or "****wit" yet, so you know I am joking.

I know, but my tolerance of this sort of stuff was lowered during the Tour when lots of people actually meant the bollocks they were spouting. National pride and national stereotypes are two ugly offspring of the same disease.

I'll stay out of it now.

You haven't helped our national stereotype by calling yourself "Drongo"....

[I think it's an Ozzie colloquialism though... ]

Fair point though.

Australian teams do likewise. This time around Australia weren't as good. Perhaps resting on the laurels from former years?

That article however might be written by Aust media trying to make claim for the success of the British side as being the work of an Australian.
But then that's media for you.

It was settled by puritans first, a few indentured servants wandered over later!
