Eh? What successes?

Mark.

You're quite sure about that, are you?

Oh boy ! And someone called < ME > arrogant. Lookit this. Hey JC, the USA doesn't own the whole continent. The US is in America, not around the other way. Canada owns a far larger chunk of America than the USA does.

That is because the French are Europeans. Just as Germans are Europeans. They live on the European continent, not the French continent. If you really want to start a fight you can insist that they are all Asians since there is really only an arbitrary line on a paper map separating Europe from Asia.

Well, think about it. Do you know anyone who has actually seen it?

I don't see the original post (must have dropped off the newsgroup), but don't most countries, especially those with European locations or heritage, take "lasting pride in yourselves not based on invading or debasing other nations"?

I may be going out on a limb here, but judging solely by the use of "yank", which I have rarely, if ever, hear used by other than a resident of the British Isles, they have little room to point fingers.

Yup, photos are a necessity -- besides they're fun to take, and usually a pleasure to look at.

I'm always surprised at people who ask about the colour of brick or ballast, etc - don't they go outdoors once in a while?

One of my pet peeves is bright red brick with blindingly white mortar. Ouch!

Australia is a penile colony.

The purpose is to detect mad cow, not to deprive Canadians of a lively hood. It works quite well. Our (United States) meat supply would be greatly improved if we did not permit the processing of "downers" domestic or foreign.

That's right, it's full of big Richards.

Some 20 years ago, I was in New Westminster BC and hitched a short ride in the caboose of a south-bound BN freight. On the rear of the freight were many flat car loads of 24" x 24" x ??? feet of lumber. There was some restriction on exporting logs at the time, probably another unfair U.S. attempt at screwing Canada over softwood imports. Anyway, as the conductor said, it may be illegal to export/import logs into the U.S., but these aren't logs, they're "cut lumber". :-)

Another way around tariffs and laws.

We're 2000km from Australia! :-)

Absolutely.

You are.

My comment was that "yank" is almost universally understood as meaning a US citizen. Mostly, we don't talk much about you lot, other than in discussing your most recent invasion of some helpless victim nation or somesuch.

I did say "in recent history", which was intended to relate to the current generations - we can't do much about what happened in the past, other than learn from it. Of course the British fall into the "wannabe yank" exception category.

Rather suspect if anyone has it was Constable Hamish MacBeth of the Loch Dubh Prototype Constabulary. He was overt that way, counting rivits when las seen.

Upward, Land of Vegemite!

Are you fully aware of the implantations of that statement?

Not yet. Give them time.

You refer to the "hamburger"? Yeah, inferior grade beef will get you something like McDonald's, et al. If you want good burger you have to have good beef. Culver's (a US Midwest chain) comes to mind. That "pasteurized process cheese food" will kill a burger also. Real cheese, please!

I'll also refer to

Yes, but not Hungarians, Germans, Czechs, Slovaks,...
