Now I'm pretty sure most blokes would be pretty impressed by that.
I knew taking a sneaky peak at Ants FHM would pay off with a useless fact one day

The secret ballot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_ballot
Apparently this is quite popular with Liberal Democracies around the world. It’s even popular in the UK which may one day become a Liberal Democracy when it stops using unelected Legislators and finally separates the Executive and Judiciary.

In the UK women over the age of 30 had the right to vote from 1918
But for the same voting rights as men, UK women had to wait until 1928.

)

Re: What Aussies dont understand
Woot! A troll thread, about time too. Looking back over static's previous posts, it's amazing how he/she/it manages to keep that level of vitriol going. I mean, imagine being that negative all the time. Some king of Hamas-style religious fervour going on.
Having watched the show, I have to say I find it highly amusing that static decided to use it as an anti-oz vehicle, since it said in no un-certain terms that we should quit being such a nation of dullard losers and try actually competing and winning at something like, ermm, every other nation on earth. Stick to the Tweenies next time Static, see what kind of political and socio-economic allegories you can draw from that one.
