Actually, I agree. I haven't been to York, but New Amsterdam sounds better

btw Erik how do you feel that New Holland is the crappy little island below the Australian mainland famous for inbreeding and shite-all to do? :D

I feel terrible, seeing as Australia used to be called New-Holland first, and New-Zealand is named after the Dutch province of, indeed, Zealand.

I was born there btw.

Did you know the Dutch were the first to stumble upon Australia? Indonesia was our colony so it was nearby and discovered by accident. The captain wrote in his log:

"Today we stumbled upon a land that has running birds, flying squirrels and jumping mammals. I feared we had reached the edge of the world and gave order to return to Java where I advised the Gouverneur never to send men southwards"

:wallbang: Moron :groan:

As far as I know, what they discovered was Darwin, the shit-hole of Australia. :D Still, if it was 2,000km to the next watering hole, I'd have given up on the continent too.

Darwin sounds likely. That's very close to Indonesia, isn't it?

:rofl: sorry to hear that mate
Hey no worries. We did alright for such a tiny nation. We once were the world's most powerful superpower.

Can you imagine if that were the case today? :D

:howler: Actually, it sounds like it'd taste good with butter

I believe it stands for Not In My Back Yard, or Not in My Blue Yonder

Eh? I assume you're asking what the relevance of that acronym was...

John was saying that "the entire world would be forced to legalise prostitution, gay marriages and marihuana"

isn't such a dream in his opinion :)

Commentator in the England vs France match, when Danny Grewcock was injured "He's not the kind of man to roll around on the floor for no reason....he's not a soccer player." ;-)
