bunnyboi: Mum, Dad I've got something to tell you...
Mum: Yes son?
bunnyboi: Well, it's difficult - I don't think you're going to like it.
Dad: Come on son, you can tell us anything.
bunnyboi: Not this...
Mum: We'll still love you know matter what.
bunnyboi: Ever since I've been young I've felt I'm different from the other boys - they would play rough games and fight each other and all I wanted to do was design fashion. They all watched the A team and I preferred Supermarket sweep.
Dad: Go on...
bunnyboi: Later when I was a teenager they would all be sneeking a look at page 3 while I always prefered to watch the firemen come from the station next door.
*Mum sobs quietly*
bunnyboi: I think I might be gay.
Dad: Ha Ha Ha, no son. Didn't anyone tell you? You're English! That's what we all do!

Your counties (Or whatever you call them), are so original. Most have shire at the end, and then there's Essex and Sussex, and who knows what else you have. Sure, there's some history for those names, but gah.



As opposed to the Austrialian method?


Shelia: Since we're the first crims here we get the job of naming the place.
Bruce: How do we go about it?
Shelia: Well, lets divide the map up and pick a name that feels significant.
Bruce: Err, mate we'll call this bit "Western Austrialia" cause its in the west of Austialia.
Shelia: Fair d'inkom
Bruce: What about this bit cobber?
Shelia: Well...its in the North...
Bruce: "Northern Territories" it is then.
Shelia: And the south could be "South Austrialia"
Bruce: Right, finish this quick I've got a barbie on the go.
Shelia: And I could do with a few cool tinnies.
Bruce: Just call the next one after the queen "Victoria"
Shelia: Great idea! Hmm.. whats the name of any other queens?
Bruce: Buggered if I know. Just write down "Queensland" and we'll come back to it.
Bruce: What about that other bit, though?
Shelia: Its in the south again, but we've already used that.
Bruce: Flamin' Norah. We'll just call that "New South" and tag on "Wales" cause my gramps was Welsh.
Shelia: Job done. Lets get home, we're missing Neighbours.

:lol: Very funny, but I need to remind you that it was the English that made it up, right? It was James Cook who named it New South Wales, and I prefer the Dutch name of Western Australia, 'New Holland'. And uh, Tasmania is named after Abel Tasman, and yeah... Queensland and Victoria are named after your pretty crappy queens.

But still.. Shire is just used too much.

Haha, yeah I heard that one before when they say "I am straight, I only want to try it with a guy".

Have you heard this one.
-If you cook once in your lifetime, people won't consider you a cook.
-If you write once in your lifetime, people won't consider you a writer.
-If you draw once in your lifetime, people won't consider you an artist.
-However, if you suck d*** only once in your lifetime... {finish off sentence}
