  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

I had relatives over from wales visiting my grandmother in canberra. "Come, drive up for the day! "

Bitch i live in melbourne. The drive alone is longer than your entire "kingdom"

Ha, I had to drive 8 hours to get to the nearest airport when some one on site had a personal emergency

Wales is a principality. Victoria is about the same area as England btw.

Nope.

Victoria (Australia): About 228,000 km².
United Kingdom: About 243,610 km².
England: About 130,281 km².

Wales is a part of the UK, the "kingdom" of which i speak. Or did you think i was talking of the lands of Llywelyn the last?

(Btw: the uk is about 600km long. Melbs to canberra is 665km)

It's a constituent country of UK. Principality ended in the mid 1500s, and became an official country in 2011.
