They're naturals at soccer because their hands are busy elsewhere from an early age. :p

But to be fair we turned out back on the frogs because, well... they're french. they really aren't good for much other than churning out some of the world's best football players.

By "football players" do you mean "football players" or do you mean "soccer players?"

I said football, not Throwball.

And the Hundred Years' War, if bitterness may be measured by casualties.

Oh shit...how embarrassment! Will you just go away? lol I'm going to blame baby brain on this one.

The Dons batting average was 98 or something wasn't it? (I'm hoping I'm right. If I can't be a citizen here what will I do?)

(actually it's funny that you've corrected me, because I felt I was wrong, but then my brain said, no you're right. It just goes to show, I should never trust my brain.)

The first fleet did arrive in 1788 though right?

1788 is right, so I'll stand down the immigration raid.

98 is close: 99.94 is closer. That's why the Post office box of the ABC is always 9994 in your capital city.

(For non-cricketers, the second best batting average in history is barely 60. Averaging 99 means you're about 50% better than the second best guy in history. Only a few dozen have averages over 50.)

Oh this is hard. This really hard. I'm torn you see. On the one hand my Euro-self wants to leap to the defence of my French compatriots, but my British self is genetically predisposed towards taking the piss out of them.

Really? I know very little about the Hundred Years' War, but I would have thought the body count of the 'Second Hundred Years' War' (1689-1815) would have been much higher.

Real footy poofs have way better guns than soccer poofs though.
