    Hi Suzieq
    Finglas in a nutshell. Dublin wit at it's best . Without taking anything from the great people of Finglas ( i have a sister in Valley Park ) and i come from Whitehall , i can relate to your brilliant sense of humour. Well done, and thanks for kickstarting our weekend with a good laugh and here's hoping the wine will keep it going.

                        Brazil is the smallest big country in the world. Although it is the fifth largest nation on the planet, four times the size of Mexico and more than twice that of India, the Brazil where most Brazilians live, work and play forms only a small fraction of the country's total landmass of 8,509,711 sq. km (3,285,618 sq. miles). One in four people crowd into five metropolitan areas in the southern part of the country.
                        Together, the southern and southeastern states contain more than 60 percent of Brazil's population yet account for only 16 percent of the country's geographic area. In effect, 98 million Brazilians live in an area slightly smaller than Alaska, while another 66 million populate an area the size of the continental United States minus Texas. What Brazil has is space - enormous regions of vast, empty space.

                          sorry to lay this on you all, but the reason Brazil is the smallest country in the world is :

                          It fits in a nutshell, like this thread title.As Max would say sorry about that

                          chief.
