    Actually, "Great Britain" is a name from Roman times. They referred to the land mass that constitutes England, Scotland and Wales as "Great Britain" since it was so big. Ireland was named "Little Britain".

    I can't find any sources to back this up, so you'll just have to believe me. As far as I can tell, it's the truth, and it kind of makes sense.

    may well be a translation of the French term Grande Bretagne, which is used in France to distinguish Britain from Brittany (in French: Bretagne), which had been settled in late Roman times by Romano-Celtic troops from Maximus' army and later by refugees from Roman Britain, who were then under attack by the Anglo-Saxons.

    according to wikipedia anywa

    Sounds about right. It's been a year or two since somebody explained it to me, and I've drank since then, so I can't remember the exact details.

    EVERYONE KNOWS THAT ASIAN CHICKS ARE THE HOTTEST. So I don't see what the problem is. Afghani chicks will never EVER be up there with the elite and neither will us Brits.:)

    And before you start, Afghan man, no Afghanistan does not count. I'm talking from India eastwards. Mainly, I'm thinking the Eastern Asians/Asian pacific rim, but Indian females are extremely beautiful also.

    One more thing... there are many British-Afghanis living in the UK, just like we have British-muslims, British-Africans etc. So, he's just sorta contradicted himself anyway. :)
