Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Do you need to live in a country to offer an opinion on it ? Does someone who 's lived somewhere longer have a more valid opinion ? Do you have to live in more than one town ? Is there a points system ? I'm bit worried about telling people what I think about Britain in the sun ! Exactly mate, i have dozens of rellies and friends in Australia, who ALL think its great and i have been twice, but the rules are the rules, so we will have to watch what we say in case we have an opinion, that disagrees with the dark side.:laugh::yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think it may be a forceable 'eviction' from the UK once I have started the revolution against the apathy in this country. The day that happens Susie I know I have completed my ultimate goal, and that is simply to get so far up peoples (The Apathetic Generation) noses including the government that they decide to deport me and take away my UK citizenship.:biglaugh::biglaugh: I reckon I could be the first since the early convicts to get deported to Australia, as long as it's either Cairns or Broome I don't care.:wubclub::laugh: Cheers Tony.:hug::notworthy::wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bit worried about telling people what I think about Britain in the sun ! Well, quite frankly, YES. Someone's opinion on a place is likely to be a lot more valid if you have actually lived there! This site is 'Poms in Oz' and not 'Pomz who have read about Oz in a book!' Stands to reason. I, for one, have decided to appoint myself Tourism Minister for Outer Mongolia as I once flew over Ulan Bator and have stroked a yak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the different things people have to say about the uk . Yes! I think I shall launch 'Mongs In Oz' - with a strict dress code of horned yak skin hat and pom pom shoes ..... On the continuum of unqualified to have an opinion on Oz to extremely qualified I reckon you are doing quite nicely in the qualified section. It's the people who have just touched down at Brissy airport and then launch themselves as Oz wikipaedia who will be excluded from Mongs in Oz. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyb Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Who'l be the first ping pong mong ? I had pretty much decided that Oz was the place for me the first time I stepped off the plane at ten at night in Sydney airport and was hit by the heat. I never like leaving the place to come home . To me it's more like ' how I'd like Britain to be in the sun ' . East coast papers full of rugby league and a tiny column ten pages in about soccer . Utopia !
