Australians are more self depracating than Canadians. 90% of our humour is self deprecation.The Napoleon Complex part is very true though.

Australia barely scraped 7 million ...It says 25,000. And all these world wars had little to do with Brazil. I think England-Australia relationship led to a higher interest in the outcome for you guys. But Brazil not so much, I think we couldn't care less.

It shows what the English thought about Australians during WWI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallipoli_%281981_film%29By they way there is a mustachoid bloke in that film who sounds sort of English, but is actually an Aussie. He is the one that tells them to continue the charge...GO GO DO IT NOWIt says 25,000. And all these world wars had little to do with Brazil. I think England-Australia relationship led to a higher interest in the outcome for you guys. But Brazil not so much, I think we couldn't care less.It says 25,000 fought in the war. 465 died and 1,500 came home injured. I'm assuming some of those who returned home injured died of their injuries later on. Stingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray 9,441 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Delirium Tremens.That brewery is litterally one street from where I live! Ps: Duvel, Chimay, all the abbey beers .... Njam! In total we produce more than 1000 different kind of beers. Ps2: as a 'pilsner' (light blond) beer Stella Artois isnt that great. Belgians mostly drink Jupiler for a regular pint. Also, we have a LOT more real quality beers than that. So, Dionsa, you are in for a surprise when you come!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so easy to find any other types of beer. Awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
