Yes, Chucky, I'm from here in the good (c)old U of K.... hence the fact that I had to censor the words at the bottom of my messages...

Aha !  Bobo, you will note that I am perhaps one of the few Aussies who will refer to Association Football as what it is - Football

Not any of the other hybrid games played mainly with the hands.... >:(

Yes, but we must distinguish for the uneducated in such field, no, FB? I must admit that I do call AR Football "Aussie Rules", without calling it "football" at all... so, I think we're even that way, no? ;)

In America, what most of the world calls football must be called "soccer" because if you say "football" to an American, you're talkin' American football, which evolved from rugby but is so much unlike rugby…
