    You can't call that an Invasion, more of we just 'turned up' and threatened to slap someone.

          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?

          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.)

                        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.

                          Next question: How many times throughout history have foreign military forces directed an attack on any territory which is (in the sense: was at the time of the attack) a recognized part of the territory of the United States of America?

                            You can't have a go at the French when they aren't here to defend themselves... And we all know how good they are at defending themselves... 1914, 1940...
