Yup.

Where I grew up (South Africa), 90%+ of the snakes were non-venomous.

Here in Oz it's the other way 'round. :doh:

That type of jellyfish mostly lives up North so not something I or probably 90% of the population has ever had to worry about on a day to day basis.

Abso fuckin lutely, drives me doolally!
We're not Brits any more than you fuckers are. Australia was settled at the same time you became the USA. 1776? for you 1788 for us. Before 1776 you were Brits and you didn't magically not become Brits after that date either. Signing a bit of parchment doesn't change your genetics or who you are. Unless you believe that a man can proclaim they are a woman by signing a bit of paper.

Listen here, Jack Sparrow. The US dispatched Pakistan with lightning force. Next will be India. And in due time, we will take over your entire cricket world. It's not a matter of if...it's a matter of when. And that time...is coming soon!!

I would actually welcome another good Cricket nation to expand the competition. Well done!

You can't call a Puerto Rican a Mexican and get away with it and you can't call an Irish lad or a Scotsman a brit and get away with it either.

I didn't start it. I am responding to some US c&^t calling me a Brit when your history is pretty much the same. If you are calling me a Brit then you are calling yourselves Brits.

I've heard you call yourself British.

I am by blood - I'm a British Australian because I'm white and that's where everyone in my family came from ultimately. We are here because we were a British Colony which is why there's a Union Jack in our Flag. Incidentally Canada had the union jack in its flag until 1965. In the same way that a person of Chinese origin likes to call themselves a Chinese American instead of just saying American. Legally and politically I'm Australian. Legally and politically you're American. If you identify with your legalities then that's what you are - I identify by my race because my country means nothing to me now that it's a melting pot. To call yourself Australian now means nothing culturally or racially therefore I don't identify with it. It doesn't speak to who I am anymore.

We've had this conversation before. Since 1066 the British have transformed their blood. So you're French and Norse and Anglo technically.
