why is the football discussion in here and not the football thread? lol

and england didn't get their first ever loss in the 50's..they never won that much in the first place..

Countries? I live in Sweden. Sweden is a big land made of wood! We live in small hollow trees and spend most of our time imitating birds.
To get food we swim to the faraoese Islands and steal Justice's sheep. Yes, every last one. Sercret Holders sheep to.
The polar bears in Sweden are the largest in the known world. But they're mostly harmless unless you've eaten to much cheese. Ninetynine percent of the population is blondines. Honestly.
The rest of the population try to compensate by painting their hair black and go on fueling raids in siberia. Steal lots of oil. We also like to eat insects. Red insects.
Or maybe not...
The truth is out there! In wikipedia anyway.

this is why I stay away from gothenburg

Hi everybody, time for eastern europe to post here:

So, i live in Romania, country of Dracula (us romanians are not very proud of this, yes it is good for our turism but it has a very bad effect on our history) and the Great Danube Delta.

Our capitol city is Bucharest and here is a link to find out more:http://www.turism.ro/ ; also if you want to know more, just ask me, i'll be happy to answer.

Do you have any pictures? A bit of history would be nice too

British:

Lol here's another swede

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sweden_red_house.jpg
Normal villas in sweden is painted red with white "corners" and when we are building a new area of residences we have all of them in the same colour -_- I wouldn't be surprised if I'd meet the minotaur some day searching for some friends house...

In sweden we must eat some of the most disgusting food in the world, like that stinky salty fish. We doesn't eat insects but the things we eat taste worse... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming
It gives you gases and taste worse than it smells.

Palt is another real swedish dish.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitepalt
It is like eating on a rubberball it just taste less good and it is also quite close to tasteless...

The famous swedish meatballs isn't really swedish, but it is one of the few "natural swedish" dishes that doesn't have the taste of h***... hehe I exagerated a bit there We also have quite a few soups, we have pancakes (crepse without a filling), a few "hot dogs", but exspecally in the north of sweden we eat things like palt, salted fat from pig, and "sourherring".

In sweden we are NOT blond with blue eyes... In my class at school there is 2 or 3 blondes, out of 30 guys... The most common haircolour is brown. The eyecolor isn't the typical blue and light blue. It is also very common blue and green (with green as inner color and blue as outer (I have that eyecolor myself))

In sweden we are quite tall, being 1.9 meter isn't that uncommon. Normal height is around 1.85-180. A fully matured person that is 1.70 or bellow is short.

THe school system is like this:
First you have a "play school": Dagis it is optional and not all parents have their kids their.
Then you have the "grund skola" Which all kids have to atain to. I begins when you are 6 years old. and that is the first year (offen refered to as "sexårs" (the year for the six years olders) or 0 grade as it was applied just "resently"), the grund skola is up to 9:th grade (including the 0th grade ) and you only have grades from 8-9 grade.

The grundskola is divided into three groups:
LÃ¥gstadie (the first years): 0-3 grade
Mellanstadie (middle years): 4-5/6 grade
högstadiet (late years): 6/7-9 grade

It is in the högstadie it gets serious. At some schools i begins at 6:th grade and at some at 7:th. In most schools it starts at 7:th but they have few a classes with högstadiet in 6:th, like the third language.

After the grundskola the optional "Gymnasiet" comes (Highschool? I think it is), theoretical it is optional but practical it is not. You can't get any job without it. Here you need your grades from Högstadiet to apply to a school.

Gymnasiet is three years (4 ver very uncommonly)

After gymnasiet you can apply to university or "Högskola" if you want, (uni is academic studying while "högskola" is more practical)

I am in 2:nd year in gymnasiet

Well I am to lazy to tell more stuff if you are interested either search on wikipedia or ask it here then if I check sometime I'll answer

Slight correction, there's not really any difference between University and Högskola(Highschool). Some old Högskolor has been classified as Universitys, but it's really just a title. For example, if you want to study physics in Gothenburg, you can choose between physics at Göteborgs Universitet(a University) or at Chalmers tekniska Högskola(a Highscool). Despite the fact that GU is a university, the education at chalmers is considered much more difficult and is rated higher by employers.
/Red_orbiT- making pedantic useless corrections everywhere!

I live in the UK - right "darn sarth" of England near the Severn - can see Wales from here.

Not much to say except it can do all seasons in an hour and our goverments a right muppet.

But got great breeds of oss like Shire, TB, Clydsedale, Highland, Erisky, Cleaveland Bay and Suffolk Punch.

It's not too bad - just wish they would stop building on every bit of green there is.

All seasons in an hour? Wow! Just like in Sweden, but we just get atumn and winter. Not the other two.

To Justice:

I was quite surpriced finding, what I thought was a cosy post about everyone's origins, instead a post mocking my country and our politics. That is very nice of you to do so... But let me tell you the story as the Danish know it...

We would love to give you your freedom! But everytime we try to do so, your politicians don't accept. Cause funny enough it turns out, that without the tons of money we give you every year, you don't feel you can handle yourself. Sure it's great having big cars, big houses and living quite well, but apparently giving up some of that for the freedom that you speak so dearly about, isn't worth all that much to you when it comes down to it.

And before you even think about it, no I have nothing against Faroese people. In fact I live door to door with the sweetest woman from Faroe Islands.

Canada here! Nice place.... Lots of... trees...

KIDDING!

But there are alot of trees. Canada's a good place, but it's a good thing that Paul Martin has finally been booted out. We've been Liberal now, for HOW many years? HA!

So... Nothing particular... CANADIAN ROCKERS RULE!!

I'll answer you in a PM, no need to dirthy this thread any further, but the few hundred millions of kr, some 50 millions pounds, we get are nothing compared to what you earn from owning us... I'll post you the details and if you wish to fight openly be welcomed to start a new thread, but I must warn you... bboth my parents have been working in the political arena for more than the last decade.

Else I'm not mockin your politicans. I wish we had some politicans like Fogh and some of your other politicans, our politicans are mostly not worth more than sheep when they must stand up to somone, while your politicans are doing just what politicans are ment to do. What's best for Denmark.

In 30 - 60 minutes I'll send you the PM.

And I've now re-read the post I posted several times and see nowere how in gods name you think i mocked Denmark

Weee! Thread is evolving to a full scale war! orbiT LIKES!!!

Poste by Justice:
. The most important, in mine eyes, is that The Danish government is one of the very few countries that ignores the declaration which states that countries with sub - counries are to help them in gaining freedom and, even if the sub - country doesn't want to, make it ready for embracing the world. This the Danish government has never done, but rather ignored when we voted for freedom (51 - 49) in 1946 and when we had the freedom government in 1998 - 2004, I think, they weren't exactly helpfull.

If you, Chlala, see this as mocking, you have some serious problems. This is nothing but cold, hard political facts.
But I will say nothing more about this, because I trust Jutice's ability to defend our sub-nations honor

I hardly think the danish are the only ones doing that... there are plenty of places where people want to break out from a country but are forced to remain by military efforts. I would not be surprised if the palestinians, kurds and basques would like countries of their own...
