    And when they tried to write lyrics some years ago, it didn't go well.

    Still, it's amusing to see athletes, football players and so look into nothingness when it's played.
    Like the angelous on RTÉ used to be :D

    This is exactly why I don't think I'll ever be brave enough to run one of these.


    Everyone else is just so good at it :o

    Belize was previously known as British Honduras until 1973.

    The island of Trinidad is closer to Venezuela (11km) than it is to its twin of Tobago (32km)

    Buenos Aires means "good airs" or "fair winds" in Spanish.

    Nuku'alofa lies on the island of Tongatapu, one of 36 inhabited islands that make up Tonga.
