Guest sh7t man no way Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I really don't think personal attacks are needed here. The thread was started about what did the UK have that Oz doesn't. In my opinion the UK has loads that Australia does and vice versa, however what I don't like is people having a go at others who are contributing to the thread. It is small minded and adds nothing to any arguments presented. A lot is personal taste and is hard to quantify except for saying it is what you love about the country. I think my point is this - if someone new to this site stated to read through this thread they would get to the bit where personal attacks started and give up reading and may never take part themselves, which I think is a bit sad as from what I have learned from this site is the vast majority of members are more than willing to lend their experience to others. I think a group hug is needed well said belaroy--pio is a wealth of information--but occasionally you have to sift through some members personnel agendas to to find out what you looking for in a thread--i do hope this does not put people on the back foot as far as finding all they can about australia in its many aspects-- i must admit sometimes there are some members here not for the right reasons--but thats life,and i hope all the good work by the many is not undone by the few--heres a:hug:from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to the coach and horses in Weatheroak hill near me and they actually brew some of the beer on offer in the back brewery :cute: they have a massive array of real ales and a really old bar with a fireplace, fantastic to go in there and see the old fellas with their dogs playing dominoes. This is the pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaroy Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Last one for the night... Tower of London - when I first moved to the UK my good lady and I visited and I was dumbstruck. The crown jewels were outstanding - I kept going round and round on the conveyor looking at the crowns and rings. oooh and the armory - hundreds of muskets and proper shining armour, it just hit home everything I had learnt from school about the Royal family, that was one of the things that helped England steal my heart. And I think it was nearby- a 2000 year old roman wall - just to touch it was amazing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont hate the royal family,they never asked to be born royals,but must admit im no fan of them,or more to the point,the system that put them there,for me their the very essence of the doff yer cap thinking in the uk,or the class system,if lizzy knocked on our door asking to lend an onion till tomoz i'd say no,not interested in all the pomp and ceremony meself,i wont lie,im in the minority on this(on PIO anyway),but just being honest. Re cider tho!worked in Bristol since i was 16 on and off,the difference in the quality of beer in all the free houses they have is amazing,pint of ROUGH in King st Bristol is top!,really dry throat in the nite tho!!!!

MARYROSE02 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 You are hilarious, you start threads telling people how they should not moan about Australia and it is what it is and then you post the above having a right go at Britain :err:. Some of those things apply equally to Australia - credit where credit is due - to the ALP. Two more years of Gillard/Brown and they'll have surpassed what Blair/Brown did for Britain in half the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpodom Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Gaslight do you know how to use the 'quote' function been there? if/when you do use it, it becomes immediately clear which post you are referring to. for example, in your post above, people may read 'Gaslight' and think 'what??????' I know who/what you are referring to cos I asked the question of who you were previously posting 'at' but again, that wasn't clear cos you didn't use quotes. See how confusing it can be without quotes? maybe give it a go?:idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get a lot of people knocking on your door and offering to lend you an onion round your way? I just can't grasp why anyone would knock on someones door thinking that person might want to borrow an onion (for a day). Is lending an onion some sort of slang code term that has passed me by? Don't tell me you've been imagining the Queen knocking on your door asking to do something perverted!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
