I just noticed how Yahoo World News divides up the global categories:
* Middle East
* Europe
* Latin America
* Africa
* Asia
* Canada
* Australia/Antarctica
So would our Down Under friends henceforth object to being referred to as Austral-Antarcticans?
I Thought This Was Amusing
Re: I Thought This Was Amusing
Not only that, but Canada get its own category!
Re: I Thought This Was Amusing
Where's the United States - or are we not part of global news?
It's obvious that yahoo people see Australia & Antarctica as both being 'down under'.

Re: I Thought This Was Amusing
LOLIt beats being referred to as a "Pacific-rimmer".
Yes, I can see where that might be off-putting....

Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Sometimes it seems as though one has to cross the line just to figger out where it is

No "Great Britain, and the Queen's Empire" link? How odd...

Re: I Thought This Was Amusing
Are you not part of Europe then?
Which reminds me to complain.
The bloody BBC doesn't even "pacific-rim" Australia. There we are lumped in with the Asians. We aren't part of Asia, but YOU are part of Europe .... So shut your cake-hole.
Would you like another cuppa?

Bah!
Re: I Thought This Was Amusing
We are vaguely near Europe. But you wouldn't want to be associated with a bunch of "continental types" would you?
