Barnsey's great (his rapping on the England song in particular being the pinnacle of a stellar career). No, I meant that there's just too much high quality Aussie home grown music to choose from. It's just really difficult. Savage Garden vs The Veronicas for example....you choose

CHRISTMAS

 

Always try and make the most of it, but nothing beats a Christmas Day in the UK.

In no particular order:

 

1. Brush turkeys - can you eat them BTW?

2. The radio

3. The TV

4. The rain

5. The snags, even though I ate them for every meal last weekend.

6. Riding a bike - may as well stick a sign on yer back saying 'boat person" - same effect

7. Brush turkeys

8. Mossies

9. The birds - of the feathered variety. At 5am I would like a sweet song not bloody squawking.

10. Estate agents - what the heck.

On second thoughts, can I swap a Brush Turkey for Joolya? Same difference I suppose.:err:

For me it was:

(in no particular order)

 

 

 

  1. Having to listen to aussies constantly telling you have fkn fantastic their country is.

  2. Dark evenings

  3. I didn't like the drinking round other people houses social thing, I much prefer going down the pub

  4. Workplace. I found the building industry to be unfriendly with too much brown nosing and snitching.

  5. Houses. The QLDers are very attractive to look at but the modern aussie homes are mostly timber framed with thing glass windows and tin roofs. Looked a bit like legoland to me.

  6. Driving Standards

  7. Rain

  8. Swooping Birds

  9. Commercial areas all looking like modern industrial estates

  10. Isolation from Europe

 

 

fill ya boots:cute:

 

 

To be honest Aldo we kinda agree with everything you have listed except the drinking round peoples houses which suits us. We have 2 young girls so before leaving the UK the pub was really something of the past.:cute:

Only thing I agree with are the mozzies- oh and maybe those big cockroaches you see in Qland

I love the rain- if you had lived here through 15 year's drought so would you.

 

Not me :no:,

Rains all the bloody time

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. :policeman::arghh: I'm all for patriotism but they bloody nicked this saying of the Poms. It used to be Oggy, Oggy, Oggy, but was hijacked by the Aussies.

 

Come on Aussies, admit it, you know you want to.:wink:

 

Cheers Tony.

 

NUP - actually it was olly olly olly oi oi oi, that's my story anyway:laugh:being an Orstralian girl I would say that - oh by the way obviously some people in UK have stopped going to pubs, as so many of them are struggling I believe, so makes sense that more Brits drinking indoors. But being Orstralian, I could be wrong !

Whingeing Poms

Whingeing Poms who whinge about whingeing Australians

Whingeing Australians who whinge about whingeing poms

Whingeing poms who whinge about Australians whingeing about whingeing Poms

Whingeing Australians who whinge about Poms who whinge about Australians

Anybody who whinges about anybody who whinges

N Koreans who, by the volume and tone of their voice always sound like they're whingeing about something

 

 

That's about it really...............other than to say that I must be one of the worst things about Australia, 'cause I'm sure I fit into at least one of the categories above :goofy:

S'truth Kev, you sound like a flamin' whingeing pom from Blackpool.:laugh:

 

Cheers, Bobj.

 

Blackpool's just a distant memory now Bob. One quote:

 

"While there is plenty to do for those who live in the area and those visiting it, there are still concerns about safety here. This stems from the rate of violent crime offences which take place in the borough, which at 36.4 per thousand residents is more than twice the national average for such incidents."

 

I look here every now and then just to remind me how good I've got it here..........not that I need reminding :biggrin:Blackpool, Lancashire, The Worst Things
