My name is Hugh Griffith Lloyd, but you can call me Hugh. Welsh name, I've got Welsh in my ancestry somewhere, my parents decided to give me + my 3 brothers Welsh names in honor of my Welsh great-uncle, I believe it was... and ehm, I'm 18, though people keep telling me I look 20+. Maybe that's because of the bags under my eyes or because of my astounding maturity. Yes, most likely the maturity.

Are you serious? I stayed at a farm down there for a few days (long story) and saw loads of wild kangaroos. [addsig]

i imagine you aussies have the same general issues with kangaroos, as we do with deer around the US.. with the advent of increased agriculture, the deer population has jumped dramatically.. we actually have more deer now, than when columbus discovered the place.. even in spite of all the hunters.. we still have way to many of them.

Let's not lose track of the facts, guys.

1. The most common sentence in Austrailian literature and day-to-day communication is "EH MATE LETS PUT A SHRIMP ON THE BARBY HEHEHEHEHEHE". No Aussie household is complete without at least three kangaroos and koala bears.

2. Canadians live in igloos, operating penguin farms on massive plains of ice in order to access the internet to insult Americans and support their rapping careers; the Mounties have a dictatorship.

3. The Brits are born liberal, as well as having funny accents and even better words: a common sentence from an Englishman goes something along the lines of "Oy, 'elo guv'na, tally 'o theh. Wh'od yoh loik a spoht of teah? Moyself, I'hm rahtha peckish. God save the Queen." Oh, and they LOST THE WAR!

You're forgetting the regional accents in the North - Manhcester, Liverpool Yorkshire etc.

You're a bit mistaken, it's actually a moose farm, and it's classic rock. Once you hit the border you'll be driving right into 4 feet of snow. Especially in my temperate Vancouver.

Haha yes, and mostly my fault. Made the convo much more interesting, though, don't you think? There's only so much you can say about your own name.
"Hi, I'm Matt."
"Yeah, my name's Matt..."
"Whoa, is your name Jon?"
"Yeah, it's Jon..."
"Yeah..."

Good to know I've made a new friend.
Wait... you weren't serious, were you?
Talk about a coincidence though...
