To aid in the transition to a the Antipodean Alliances new board, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1
You should look up "Antipodean" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be
amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary".
2
Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of
communication. Look up "interspersed".
3
There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf.
4
You should learn to distinguish between the English and New Zealand or Australian accents. It really isn't that hard.
5
Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys.
6
You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get
confused and give up half way through.
7
You should stop playing American football. There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American football is not a very good game
The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no
longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football,m called RUGBY.
Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby
(which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like
nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2005.
8
You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons if they give you any merde. The 98.85% of you who were not aware that there is a
world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys. "Merde" is French for "sh*t".
9
All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.
