Imagine an Aussie had caused you grave insult, and you wish to cause him upset by the written word, how best to insult a former Queenslander?
The sort of insult which, repeated in normal company, would rightfully earn you a bloody nose, but which, behind a keyboard, would still cause a sharp intake of breath?

Not sure that'll work. Qld have won it the last 7 years.

How about a pic of the Kiwis winning the RL World Cup.

Or just keep linking him to the Olympic medal table. It seems to upset a few people here.

I was going to mention that, but didn't want to think about it.

I worked at a company for 5 years who had that pic blown up massive in one of the meeting rooms. I saw it every day. (They were a sponsor, so had the company name in the background)

(and agreed on the *rse kit).
