Country Discussion : Australia

[Mark_EFC]

Spent a year there back in 2009-10. What a great place.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

A country of convicts and ten pounds poms who drove the natives off their own land and into a cycle of poverty and drug addiction

I'm sure the fact Aboriginal folks and Native Americans shared familiar fates was just coincidental, seeing how close the countries are to one another; it's not as if there are any historical ties to another country that bind them.

Oh, right.

Oh, right.

Yeah, damn Dutch.

Oh, right.

Yeah, damn Dutch.

International kopites

I find Aussies a very well balanced people.......a chip on both shoulders!

Tim Cahill.

That is all.

Never visited. Would like to. My old housemate at uni headed off there and lived there for three years before being kicked out in circumstances she would never properly get into. The story always changed. Anyways, she was a really difficult diva so I stand shoulder to shoulder with the Aussies here.

Plus, all the folk I've from Aus have been genuinely open and friendly.

So it's a yes from me.

They’re loads better than England as people and winners.

 

[Walken]

Had a great time living in Melbourne for a year, their big shouldered woman are awesome.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Lived with a bunch of Oz lasses in uni, absolutely mad fun people.

 

[Kurt.]

Riiiiiiiippppppeeerrrr !!!

 

[Chewbacca]

I like it enough to be planning to live there.

 

[Andy is the King]

Absolutely despise the cheating and win at all costs attitude regarding sports here. Even at an amateur level it's ridiculous.

Couldn't agree more. It's very depressing actually.

Spent my life hating the Aussie cricket team going back to the days of Dennis Lillee & the Chappell brothers.

Me too. From Warne/McGrath predicting 5-0 Ashes victories to Warner/Smith cheating then throwing young Bancroft under the bus and Chappell ordering his brother to bowl underarm, absolutely despicable.

I have a soft spot for the Socceroos, and I get behind Aussie athletes at the Olympics, but the rest can GTF.
