Top Ten Aussie Mottos
National mottos of all sorts continue to pour in (post your idea for a British national motto here). But overnight, puzzlingly, Comment Central started to get a run of mottos involving cricket.
The mystery was solved when I realised we had been linked to by our friend in Australia. They too have had hundreds of suggestions, this time for an Australian motto.
One of their readers was unimpressed at the posting, suggesting "Australia - Home of the slow news day", but others joined in happily, although with a similar cynicism to our own.
Here are the top ten:
1. Hold my beer and watch this
2. Australia - the only country that eats its national emblem
3. Win or Lose...Hit the Booze
4. Australia - Insert culture here.
5. Tie me kangaroo down sport
6. F**k the motto, lets get blotto
7. At least it's not Britain
8. Australia - on parole since 1901
9. No culture, no class, no worries
10. Like a boomerang, you'll be back
Australia? You're standing in it.

Britain: The best people come from Britain (too bad about the ones still left)

An English man has an operation to cut away half of his brain- to reach the minimum visa requirements to become an American.
The operation goes horribly wrong, the doctor has to cut away another quarter of his brain and he is left severely damaged.
Tragic.
The doctor visits the bedside of this terribly, mentally injured man and leans over him;
"I'm sorry sir" he says to the patient- who is just lying there, eyes closed, totally out of it, utterly gone in mind.
"NAR WARRIES MATE- ONYA!" the patient replies.
