    That's why I said Australasian and not Australian, I was referring to the continent of Australasia and no to the country of Australia. I also forgot AC/DC which I apologise for. On another note the Finn boys mother hails from Limerick.

    Technically, Australia is a continent on its own. Its the only continent that is also a country. The region is oceania.

    It's Oceania according to FIFA, Australasia according to the Weetabix World Atlas I had in primary school. Now I don't know about you but I'd think twice before badmouthing somebody like Weetabix!!!

    As for Radiohead they peaked with 'The Bends' and shot their remaining load with 'Ok Computer'.

    Australia is on a continental plate and Asia is on a different continental plate. That makes them separate. They are two separate continental plates. They have no connection with each other. this is going to get moved, believe me.

    There was a band called Asia as well , they had nothing to do with That song Australia though as [SIZE=3]they were two toatally different things[/SIZE] .

    Heat of the moment was their biggest single. They had members of yes and the buggles in their group. they were from America (again a [SIZE=3]totally different continent[/SIZE] ).
    there was funnily enough a group called america who were from england
    big hit "horse with no name". Horses orginally came from asia.
    the song wasnt really about horses though it was about drugs.

    hmmmlalala
    no sign of the lads but i know the characters u were on about

    check out the history section in the ads
    they got all the classics, from the 80's right back to the 50's, with the free toys they used to give away all listed.

    think Dunk was another one of those characters and possibly Brains??
    i duno

    Hey, these last few posts are about music, they have no place in this thread. Split it now (again).
