That was hilarious. Some of them made me groan (column-beer) but great fun. My significant other came to ask me what was wrong when I was saying "pool-Cue-ball, cue-ball, cue-ball-eight, CUE-EIGHT!" out loud.

Pool stick, aka "cue" plus the number 8 = "cue-eight." After enough "Colombias" they sound even more alike!

For Kuwait, there is a pool cue and an eight ball, so together that's cue-eight so Kuwait. For Bahrain, according to the explanations provided, it's a bar as in a bar of music, and rain, so together they make Bahrain

This reminds of "Rockbusters" from Karl Pilkington on XFM radio back in the day.
