What was it again...?? Demmed if I can recall.
Oh well, toodle pip!
I assume it was "Paupa" New Guinea.
Also, it looks like they labeled Afghanistan as "Afghanistan and Pakistan", incorporated Pakistan into India, and drew a line across India and called Pakistan "mostly muslim." Which I find amusing.
If you live too far North or West then you lose the right to bear this title, I'm afraid.
Foreign Friends: please help remind our neighbours of their place in life by abstaining from using this dignified title to describe them.
Many thanks.
Another mission, the powers have called me away. Another chance to carry the colours again. My motivation, an oath I've sworn to defend. To win the honour of coming back home again.

Go into any of the pubs in Newlyn on landing day and tell the gentlemen coming ashore from their trawlers the same thing and maybe I'll return that favour.

There's sweet tea and there's iced tea. I'm not aware of any 'sweet iced tea'. Unless yer a dam yankee.
Imposter! They fell for the trap! Drown them in biscuits and gravy until they confess their Northern crimes!
Oh wait, drown me in biscuits and gravy instead!

Indeed, Biccat is definitely an imposter, not a southerner.
Sweet iced tea is quite common!

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

And anyone calling me European can feck right off.
I don't see the what big deal about being called a European is, if someone called me a North American I wouldn't be offended because I am after all from that continent.
You're not "North American" you're just north, of America.

Somehow I missed commenting on the yank part too. Call all us westerners "Yanks" is about as bad as calling a "Scotsman" "English."
Calling a southerner a Yank is like saying "I want to get punched in the face" to boot.

When you bend the knee to the English regent, you take what you get.
I will note that this might require me to start referring to Canadians as "English".
Supposedly (according to an article in the Independent), 20% of Britons (myself among them, at least in principle if not realism) are Republicans
Oh and with the Canadians: Make sure you do so in Quebec...
Not Quebec. There's no way that the Quebecese (Quebecians?) are really British. No Brit in his right mind would willingly speak French.
I believe the term they prefer is Quebecois.
Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

You're from Texas, which is full of Yankee interlopers.
When I lived in Georgia I never heard of "Sweet iced tea," it was just "sweet tea."
And you're from Georgia, where you have no interlopers-- and your family tree is tall... and very, very thin.
Silly inferior states. You were never even your own nation!
