What's that bullshit? Australians are more self depracating than Canadians. 90% of our humour is self deprecation.

The Napoleon Complex part is very true though.

Ah it is biased solely for two reasons:

1. The Brazilian wax

2. The typical brazilian 'behind'

Wins every time over f****** chocolate :-)

As much as I love chocolate, it can't compete with brazilian wax and especially what comes after that :)

On a side note, can't wait to taste some belgian chocolate and see how it compares to the rest.

I find this offensive.

Over 60,000 Australians died fighting for England in WWI. Another 150,000 wounded.

Over 40,000 Australians died fighting for Australia (..and England once again...) during WWII. 180,000 wounded.

ANZAC

So I guess we won it too:

Hmmmmm ..... Not even our beers?

Ps: If you ever come to Belgium I will take you beer tasting, promise!!

We've got Stella Artois in Brazil. I guess that's the only belgian beer I've ever tasted.

P.S: It's one of the best beers you can find in brazilian lands.

True...

A very sad reminiscent are the dozens of enormous memorial graveyards in the north west of our country and when you follow the French north eastern coast line.

So sad.

It says that 1,000 Brazillians died fighting during WWII. You lot had a population of 40 million. 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.

Dowload and watch this movie. It shows what the English thought about Australians during WWI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallipoli_%281981_film%29

By 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 NOW

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.

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!!

Brazilians drink mostly 'pilsner'. I think we say 'pilsen' here. It's not so easy to find any other types of beer. Awful.
