Guest GThomas Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Here's some negativity before the weekend: Queenslanders can not drive for sh1t. They do not understand road signs, line markings, lane discipline (the amount of times I've seen drivers go from the far right lane to the far left lane beggers beleif), they have yet to work out what the two shiny things are on the side of their doors.... their mirrors you dopey idiots. Queensland roads are shockingly poor. I ride a motorbike and spend most journeys being ejected out of the seat by the bumps, potholes, sunken 'new' repairs, and generally poor workmanship (the old crown jewels take a bit of beating at imes). Their motorways are more like British A-Roads. The traffic lights stay red for ages, even when there are no cars coming.:arghh: In fact every junction has traffic lights (go back to the first point). Australians think they can drink. They can't. Three Bundy and cokes / beers and there're acting like fools. They take sport far, far to seriously. Men seem to be obsessed, with waxing their legs, chest, armpits, arms... and I'm guessing every where else too. And also fake sun tans??? The women seem miserable, and carry those extra few pounds. I have only met a handful of happy ladies in Brisbane. TV sucks. If I hear one more Harvey bloody Norman advert the TV is going out of the window. The saying "Can I get / grab / have' everytime they order, grates me. What happened to 'Please may I '. The police and Queensland government are obsessed with speed guns. Everyone thinks 'The Valley' is a violent place. Have they tried Brixton, any part of Essex or south east London, west London... that's violent. 'The Valley' is just full of waxed, drunk, knuckle heads thinking they're hard after 3 bundy and cokes. Door men are just clowns wearing black shirts. "Can I see you ID'.... "what, I'm over 30 and look it mate'...'no sorry must see some ID' ..... seems they have the inability to make a descision based on common sense. Expensive Australian beer tastes sh1te. Queenslanders walk... yes walk, like they drive. At times you just cannot believe the lack of manners. That'll do. Time for bed.:SLEEP: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest weeseywoo Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Pretty sure Keith Urban, Tim Finn, Jane Campion & Russell Crowe were all born in NZ. If they win an award or something they are hailed as Australian, however if they do somthing wrong...like Russell Crowe has in the past he is very quickly dubbed Kiwi! Its v funny, but irritating. And don't get me started on the origins of the pavlova. Is that negative enough? And yes....I am a Kiwi, ...............in Dublin, married to a Pom and planning to move to Oz.

Guest sk1nny Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hello,One of my faves is the all time classic 'pommy'! I dont mind being called one but ask an aussie what it means and youll get 12 different answers - none of which really apply to me!! Theres some bollocks about pomegranates but its lost on me and I'm not from convict stock!! It baffled me more when I was young and inquisitive though! Another thing that bugs me is when the Aussies take a British show , scrap the original voice over and let an Aussie narrate. Some of the humour and expressions dont translate and its a bit empty. An example is that show about meerkats - wouldve prefered to hear the original person just to get a fix of the accents I dont hear anymore. regard 0405delboy I hate 0405delboy's avatar & I think he should change it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kazmatt Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 i do like the australian beaches, but after taking in the breathtaking scenery and had half hour on the body board it gets a bit boring, sometimes its nice to relax but this is quite difficult with two young children, i know it sounds crazy but give me a day out in blackpool any day of the week, great pubs, amazing fish and chips, plenty of arcades, walk down the golden mile, walk on the pier,pop into the pleasure beach fairground, have a swim in the sand castle pool, so much to do, mind you weve always liked a trip to blackpool, we went there once and stayed a year, i think its mainly the weather that gets people down in the u.k. and if it was hot in the u.k. a lot of people would not be heading off to oz, because show me a wonderful place in australia and i could match it with somewhere just as great in the u.k, but it looks even greater when the sun is shining.

Ah! Then you need to get on a plane and hop on down to Geelong.. have a ride on the carousel, play in the kiddie's playground, take a trip on our very own Thomas the Tank Engine Road train, have tea (all you can eat buffet) at "Smorgy's", and finish off the day playing the pokies at the Sphinx - pub-cum-casino in the shape of, yes, you guessed it, a giant Sphinx... pure class!!!!! :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
