So why does Brazil suddenly become Brasil when the world cup is on. I understand it's their real name for their country but for ****s sake, it's going to go back to Brazil afterwards.

Same for England, they'll always be campaigners to me.

I don't understand why we anglicise things the way we do.

Why can't Italy be 'Italia', Germany be 'Deutschland', or the Netherlands be 'Nederland'?

Or Australia just be Oz?

Because no one knows how to pronounce Russia when its written in Cyrillic

I like the World Cup. The timezones mean that its easy to avoid on TV, Australia is barely involved limiting the parochial media, and then it ****s off for four years. Much bettter than either Olympics.

There are many metrics for determining whether someone is a dead set f***wit or not, but the best for me is whether a person, when discussing a big night out, will itemise the varieties and quantities of what they had to drink on the night without being prompted.

I guess I can let people go for this if someone actually asks them to list what they had to drink, but nobody would ever do that, because nobody cares.

"I had a lot to drink" or "Yeah I got pretty hammered" will suffice, thanks f***wits.

I enjoy a beer as much as the next campaigner but Jesus Christ:

"I had 8 beers, then I had 5 tequila shots, then I had 3/4 a bottle of JACKSSSSS OH and then I had a skittlebomb oh man I was so wasted"

Confirmed ****wit case closed.

Add to this: if anyone claims to get hammered and then rattle of all the drinks they had, including the names of the shots is either autistic or a liar.
