QuoteHA! In your face East Timor, Chad, Kyrgyzstan, Burundi and, ehm, Britain!
But worse than Tajikstan for the soundness of our banks. Oh dear!

That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

Took me a long time, but Egypt and Cyprus are the other two!
Japan, Fiji, Ghana, Canada, Yemen, Panama, Togo....

Isn't that one vowel, er, twice ??
U k ?
Ditto. Good question. Nice satisfying feeling on getting it right!
Googled it afterwards; saw people suggesting "Czech". Also saw others - quite justifiably in a way - saying "y" is a vowel and so the only real one is Chad.
Anyways, back to how screwed we are.
Whatever happened West Timor? They never get a look in...
I was doing an article for the UCD programme a while back, and I found that "Timor" means east in the local lingo, so the country is actually "East East".
