[Egbert]

And why?

This excellent thrade is inspired by this this "literature"

Depends whether they agree with me

[Bereta_Eder]

They are a little bit stupid

[Egbert]

Do you hate them when they agree with you?

Or when they disagree with you?

And does it make a difference if they come bearing a box of Queensland bananas as a gift?

Beware of Australians bringing gifts or somesuch

I hate them when they disagree mostly, but I'm willing to make concessions insofar that in some cases I could extend my hate to those which do agree

That's the Greeks. One of them, herodotus, said "Never trust Greeks especially when they come bearing gifts'.

I guess we have about a million Greek aussies.

Sounds like an interesting country to be in.
Hope the Dildo wasn't in a currently used state, however

Gifts are nice and should never be given away.

[Egbert]

We are not as dumb as the Austrians though, at least I hope not. They defeated themselves in a great battle.

The exact phrase is

Do not trust the horse, Trojans! Whatever it is, I fear the Danaans, even when bringing gifts."

[Egbert]

Thanks Bereta. I though it was a quote from Herodotus referring to the "Trojan Horse".

Was it actually a quote from Virgil?

[Bereta_Eder]

not sure

Hitler was from Austria. Australia shares a lot of letters ... which you might dismiss as irrelevant ...

Except there's THIS.
