    I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

      A very English list, no?

          Yes. Not renowned for it's hospitality to anyone without a prayer mat these days.

            It's very hospitable if you need parting from your wallet though.

              Good point. What about: tossing one's caber, deep-fried Mars Bars, the Glasgow Kiss, and the Loch Ness Monster?

                Happily I have no experience of any of them

                I didn't ask for a Scottish list: I might be ready to think of a British one: does anyone think that is still possible?

                  Nothing says "you're a loser" more than owning a motivational signature about being a winner.

                    No. What you mean is lots of anguish about snow in winter and then hose-pipe bans for the rest of the year.

                      3) Not much: malaria, dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever, cholera, diptheria, Japanese encephalitis, schistosomiasis and typhoid
