Why Australia is better than Texas, and Wales

[Egbert]

Makes about as much sense as a tiny island ruling over a continent.

A tiny island did rule over big chunks of big continents, and over all of one continent.

[Egbert]

Aussie isn't that big - less than four times the size of kingdom of Denmark.

That reminds me.

Aussie also provides future queens for places such as Denmark.

I like Australian women. Welsh? /shivers

[Egbert]

Actually, that's almost exactly TWICE the size of Wales! If you're going to use an internationally recognised measurement of area, at least get it right!

Size of Wales (also available in whales and the Prince of Wales)

Size of Wales rainforest campaign

Sorry. I will try to get comparisons right in future. I will try again.

There are 8 million sheep in Wales and 100 million in Australia. (approximate)
There are 3 million people in Wales and 21 million in Australia. (approximate)

That makes it about 3 sheep per person in Wales and about 5 per person in Australia.

Did I get my facts and computations correct?

Stop before you make MOBIUS envious.

[Egbert]

Good pick up.
I am trying to make Moby envious.

If only I could figure out how to post pictures. I would post a picture of a fine Aussie Merino sheep.


Can some clever person post such a picture please? :desire:

Slowwy, I've used up my daily thanks. Tomorrow.

[Zevico]

Ooh, she's a fine one isn't she? Too bad she lacks for a Welsh companion to hold her at night.

[Dauphin]

New South Wales. Better than Old South Wales.

Slowwy, I've used up my daily thanks. Tomorrow.

Thanked. you owe me.

Shirley Bassey. Michael Douglas's wife, whose name escapes me.... erm, Queen Guinevere.

[Sava]

Catherine Zeta-Jones?

I don't really dislike the Welsh... just MOBIUS

He's a stupid, useless ****. If he died in a farming accident tomorrow, the world would be better off.

That's her name. I knew it was partly Greek to me. The mobius bit is entirely understandable- has he ever had anything good to say about anything not connected with himself ? Damned if I recall.

Anyway, there are some very attractive Welsh women- I used to visit South Wales regularly, and have been to the North, the border country and the along the Irish Sea coast, so I've seen a fair few. Or a few fair.
