Terrell [BT] Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 This isn't new, the NFL has had regular season games in London before. There also used to be a league called NFL Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimir[IS] Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I didn't say it was new... The thing that caught my eye (this go around) was them sending the Lack of Ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tienbau Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I think you'll confound and frustrate the Brits with all the stops in play for commercial breaks though - only used to about 1 every half hour on the channels that do have ads, and football only having 1 break in the middle. Still I guess you gotta give those players a rest, not many people can keep up 45 mins of play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 As funny and cool as that is, Britain isn't EU, it's UK. British people get quite irate when you call them "European". Kind of like how Canadians do when you call them "American" even though it is technically the same continent. But then again, the very northern tip of Japan is technically on the American tectonic plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimir[IS] Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe[/url] The use of the term "Europe" has developed gradually throughout history.[6][7] In antiquity, the Greek historian Herodotus mentioned that the world had been divided by unknown persons into the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Libya (Africa), with the Nile and the River Phasis forming their boundaries—though he also states that some considered the River Don, rather than the Phasis, as the boundary between Europe and Asia.[8] Europe's eastern frontier was defined in the 1st century by geographer Strabo at the River Don[9] Flavius and the Book of Jubilees described the continents as the lands given by Noah to his three sons; Europe was defined as stretching from the Pillars of Hercules at the Strait of Gibraltar, separating it from Africa, to the Don, separating it from Asia.[10] A cultural definition of Europe as the lands of Latin Christendom coalesced in the 8th century, signifying the new cultural condominium created through the confluence of Germanic traditions and Christian-Latin culture, defined partly in contrast with Byzantium and Islam, and limited to northern Iberia, the British Isles, France, Christianized western Germany, the Alpine regions and northern and central Italy.[11] The concept is one of the lasting legacies of the Carolingian Renaissance: "Europa" often figures in the letters of Charlemagne's cultural minister, Alcuin.[12] This division—as much cultural as geographical—was used until the Late Middle Ages, when it was challenged by the Age of Discovery.[13][14][why?] The problem of redefining Europe was finally resolved in 1730 when, instead of waterways, the Swedish geographer and cartographer von Strahlenberg proposed the Ural Mountains as the most significant eastern boundary, a suggestion that found favour in Russia and throughout Europe.[15] Europe is now generally defined by geographers as the westernmost peninsula of Eurasia, with its boundaries marked by large bodies of water to the north, west and south; Europe's limits to the far east are usually taken to be the Urals, the Ural River, and the Caspian Sea; to the south-east, the Caucasus Mountains, the Black Sea and the waterways connecting the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.[16] Because of sociopolitical and cultural differences, there are various descriptions of Europe's boundary. For example, Cyprus is approximate to Anatolia (or Asia Minor), but is often considered part of Europe and currently is a member state of the EU. In addition, Malta was considered an island of Africa for centuries,[17] while Iceland, though nearer to Greenland (North America), is also generally included in Europe. Sometimes, the word 'Europe' is used in a geopolitically limiting way[18] to refer only to the European Union or, even more exclusively, a culturally defined core. On the other hand, the Council of Europe has 47 member countries, and only 27 member states are in the EU.[19] In addition, people living in insular areas such as Ireland, the United Kingdom, the North Atlantic and Mediterranean islands and also in Scandinavia may routinely refer to "continental" or "mainland" Europe simply as Europe or "the Continent".[20] Glad to see you back Mouse..... Remember I used to travel back and forth to the "EU" sometimes twice a month? European Union (EU) not Eu as I was apologetic for the typo.

This group is known colloquially as the 'EU Three' I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
