Ferdiland

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

Founded in 2003, when Scottish Explorers Alexander Kapranos, Robert Hardy, Nicholas McCarthy and Paul Thomson were sailing by themselves in a boat.

"Yeah, I remembered I'd forgotten my jacket back at the party we'd come from, so I said to Bob, 'Do you want to?' and he said to me, "Ok, take me out!" We grabbed Nick and Paul, and said we'd take a boat back. We were still rather buzzed at that point, and ended up on some undiscovered island. Nick said, 'Well, that was easy,' and Paul just sort of stuck this little brown and orange flag from the last party into the ground, jumped up and went 'Whoohoo! Screw the f***ing jacket, we're outsiders!' And well, that's how we found it. It's bloody fantastic, we get to go to UN meetings and everything."
