    The capital of Turkey was Constantinople it's now Istanbul. (Great song about it btw)

    Rhodesia is now Zimbabwe.

    You get the gist.........

    Rhodesia is not Zimbabwe😉

    Southern Rhodesia is Zimbabwe and Northern Zimbabwe is Zambia
    Was Zambia not Northern Rhodesia?

    And what about Burkina Faso/Upper Volta?

    I look forward to the demand for a return to using Abyssinia instead of Ethiopia.
    Yes, What was Northern Rhodesia is now Zambia, my mistake in typing.

     The other two Southern African countries who changed their names in late 60s or early 70s on independence and that I remember the change from those days were: Bechuanaland (not sure the spelling is right) to Botswana and Basutoland to Lesotho.
    Swaziland is now Eswatini.
    Beat you to it 😉
    Sam beat you to it on Pg1 ;)

    Isnt he the idiot who lost an argument with the Danish?

    Dont know if the story is true but seems he tried to baptise the Vikings, which they promised to do so if they saw a miracle... The one chosen was that God would protect him, if they shot their arrows at him.

    He lost!! 
  • And we need to cancel the BBC and Sky metropolitan Liberal elite commentators who call the team from Amsterdam i-axe.

    It's A-Jacks.

    Same with Due-ventus.

    And it's Paris Saint German
