Britain Leads the Way

That's a decent todo list: I think we should go for Kyrgyzstan first. If only to rename it something more pronounceable like Anitdistinctlymintymonatarismonia. [Edit] And Sweden too, they're a bit too smug for my liking and need taking down a peg or two.

Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg? Although they changed it to something that didn't sound at all German, "Vinsor".

You love trampling that little bit of humour/trivia out don't you? Must've seen you post that about 100 times. Almost as boring as Crap Caption Competition.

1938 British naval blockade, that'll do for me. -- NEXT! --

Quote:
This estrangement also occurred in part, due to the German-Italian powers becoming frustrated in regards to what they believed the Estado Novo should represent. The policy of forced assimilation and nationalization imposed by Vargas and the military over every immigrant community, including the German, Italian and Japanese ones; as well as the prohibition of any political activities that were not directly endorsed by the central power in Rio de Janeiro (then the capital of Brazil), which included the Nazi party in Brazil and its allies, the Brazilian integralists; motivated Italian-German support of the Integralist's coup d'état attempt in May 1938. The failure of that action and the British naval blockade on Germany and Italy's trade on the Atlantic, especially from 1940 onwards, led to a sharp deterioration of relations between Brazil and the Axis powers.[6]
that was on Germany, not Brazil. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_Germany_(1939%E2%80%931945)[^]

Only 22 countries in the world have never been invaded by Britain, according to new research.
I heard this on the Home Service yesterday, bloody brilliant! Does anyone here actually come from a country that Britain has not invaded?

A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]You haven't even tried yet. There's a reason. Start with France instead, you need to train on something easy first.

We've done France so many times, it's too easy.

It may be that England has conquered Germany in the past (I don't know), but with our abysmal English, we will never stop destroying your language. :laugh:

Invaded is not exactly the correct term. He included anytime when a British force spent time in a country, even if they had asked or paid to be there.

so he was just making a fuss :doh: sometimes i forget how the marketing works. if we take this in account then brazilians have invaded every country out there. find a country without a single brazilian, i dare you. we are a plague worse than bieber. (yes, i'm really pissed off with my country, if you want to know why, search for "Gustavo Lima" or "Michel Teló". DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for the damage that this search can cause your ears or brain.)
