Brobdingnag :p
The people there would have a very big Big Thing (and the people of Lilliput and Blefuscu would have a tiny Big Thing). :DQuote:

Tony Abbott is a big *@#$, does this count?
If Tony Abbott was born in this country, he might very well be in the Big Thing.
That cryptic clue could indicate that it is a parliament or government thing?
yes, seems that way doesn't it...or its a specific building which houses the govt offices
Technically, all three of those things are things.Quote:

I'll blow this open because I'm bored with it.
Iceland has - Alþing - The Law Thing
The Faroes have - Løgting - The Law Thing
Åland has - Lagting The Law Thing
Greenland has - Landsting - The Land Thing
Denmark has - Folketing - The People's Thing
The Isle of Man has - Tynwald - The Thing in the Meadow
But...
Norway has - Storting - The Big Thing.
Someone else go now.
I am looking for a question, brb
Name the countries that have a territorial claim to parts of Antarctica
Don't have a clue.
Probably those who explored the continent like UK, France, Norway.
Maybe USA cos they claim everything.
Maybe some southerners like Argentina and New Zealand.....
We don't claim much cold stuff! :laugh:Quote:

Law descends from Lag or lagu, so you see Lagting and Løgting Swedih and Faroes are later developments of the ur-language spoken by more or less everybody up in the north--
alla=al= all
Lagu=lag=law
law (n.) http://www.etymonline.com/graphics/dictionary.gifOld English lagu (plural laga, comb. form lah-) "law, ordinance, rule, regulation; district governed by the same laws," from Old Norse *lagu "law," collective plural of lag "layer, measure, stroke," literally "something laid down or fixed," from Proto-Germanic *lagan "put, lay" (see lay (v.)).
UK - correctQuote:

Australia?

"The States" shall mean such of the colonies of New South Wales, New Zealand, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia, and South Australia, including the northern territory of South Australia...

By the way... hurry up and get your Red Bands off our flag. Yeah, nah bro, get your own. That'd be heaps cool.
So the one more is the not so obvious one?
