did your gov't have the "help the lower class become homeowners" program too like we did?

goddamn gov't! help people that can't afford it get homes! brilliant!

We had this genius invention called "self cert" if you wanted a £250,000 house but only earnt £14,000 a year brokers could inflate your income so on paper you could afford it. Lenders promised they wouldnt check the figures and applications passed through untroubled. all of a sudden you had bin men living in mansions... and the mortgage aint getting paid.

Contrary to wishful thinking, the top American sports Basketball, Baseball, American Football, and Ice Hockey to name a few, are simply not big in Europe whatsoever, and not that massive in Asia or Australia area when I was out there.

Rounders is similar to baseball, is played in schools a lot, and some non serious group events, and is more a girls sport.

Netball is also similar to Basketball, is played more slightly more competitively but again, only by girls.

Hockey is similar to Ice Hockey, played somewhat competitively, but again not big and only really played by girls.

Rugby, similar to American football in some ways, has little to no protective wear, is big in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America's and generally played all round the world.

Perfectly reasonable to just point those things out, nothing more.

Ice Hockey and Basketball are not big in Europe? Are you nuts? Listen Baseball is extremely popular in Aisa and South America, Basketball is popular all over the world really... cuz it's easy to play. And Ice Hockey (which is not American, but Canadian) is HUGEEE in Eastern Europe and just about every cold climate.

Why say something so bizarre?

To some your post up...American sports are for teenage girls.

some your post up.....ahahhahahahahhahahahahhah...some....hahahah ahahhahahahahah

Girls sports? At least they don't flop on the floor and get carried off in a stretcher and then miraculously spring back up to play again. You get carried off in a stretcher, you better be seriously injured.

And whats up with the gay soccer player look......really cut that **** out.

you obviously missed game 1 with that ****** paul pierce.

American boxers are to scared too fight outside their own backyards. Enough said.
p.s stick to the topic.

Maybe because they'll get a quarter of the purse over seas than here. "Euro" fighters' ultimate dream is to have a big fight in the states. It's just a reality.

[Addition]

"You euro fighters!"
"Euro fighting bums!"

It just sounds very odd to me, because in Europe nobody ever refers to anyone as European. I've never been in the states where somebody has asked where I'm from I've ever said "Oh I'm from Europe" eh? what?

Yet if an American had been on a trip to Spain, Italy or France....it's not "Oh I've been on a trip to France" it's "I've been on a trip to Europe".

Europe isn't a country guys, yes it's a continent the same as South America and the distinction between countries is very bold, we're not "altogether" and never ever ever collectively been regarded "as one" as you've probably been taught in geography class.
We did have 2 world wars you know....

The distinction between nationality of boxers between the likes of Kessler, Calzaghe and Abraham is very much far between in terms of language, culture etc as with the same difference between Floyd Mayweather, Cotto and Manny.

So please refrain from using "Euro Bum" because to me and a lot of others it just doesn't make sense.

"Welsh bum", "Danish bum", "French bum", "English bum" sound a lot more appropriate.

Thank you.

We call 'em "fat Yanks" so it goes both ways.
