    Huh? What sort of Australian are you, who doesn't know the story of Kim Hughes crying after getting out for a low score yet again? But maybe you have erased that chapter from your memory - that was when Australia were actually beatable at cricket.

    Ten reasons for being Korean

    1) If you have loads of money you can do everything and you don't need to be president to be boss of everybody
    2) You can be aneroxia, weigh 50~60 pounds and ready to die. Don't worry, people still envy you.
    3) If you're a boy, you can wear gayous (is this word?) clothes and sing in the public TV station and people love it.
    4) You can see, have, listen everything from Japan and you can still hate Japan.
    5) You're always live with US and their stuff, but you can always blame US for everything
    6) You can see Ultimate Fight in the national asssembly building
    7) You have foreign army camp in the central of every main big cities (like capital)
    8) You can say "I'm from Korea," then you'll be often asked again, "Which one?" or they don't even know what it is.
    9) You have to go to army after 18, and if you return from the 2 year army train, you become dumbass.
    10) You have sculpture of famous navy general of historic kingdom in the street named after greatest king of historic kingdom whose sculpture is in the random elementary school

    hmm....I typed it down, but it's not even funny :( I wanna be a good joker!!

    p.s. 2) and 3) kinda similar to any countries who have idol stars........I think. perhaps not.

    EDIT : 11) You can eat a dog..... :nuts:
    The stupidest thing I sometimes heard when I lived. I still don't understand, why some people eat it. Not only eating it is horrible, but also beating a dog to death to cook is worse.

    Ruin - that actually was quite funny, even though I didn't understand some of it.

    @Barmy

    So why in Scotland are we always laughing at the English for being posh g*ts? Oh wait, your post shows exactly why... ;)

    So why does everyone associate Scotland with this and not England? Maybe your thinking you can drink more tea and eat more crumppets than everyone else.

    So why then are Scotland's Tartan Army usually voted Best Fans at World Cups and European Cups?

    Also, your reasons 1), 2), 4) and 9) are not England but Great Britain, which inculdes Wales and Scotland, and England could not have done all those achievments without Scotland and Wales.


    soooo, that leaves yu with very little reasons why its good to be English.

    Another good thing about being N.Irish - you can be either British or Irish depending on the situation.

    When it comes to 'how much can one drink' in the UK Scotland only comes second... :D

    Best thing about being British, IMHO:

    A cup of tea is the solution to every problem.*

    "Nuclear war? Never mind love, I'll just stick the kettle on..."

    *[EDIT] except being allergic to tea, obviously.
