Besides, Euro-weenies like it so it naturally sucks.
“And, when it comes to hamburgers, which are consumed in his homeland, Sewell said he is amazed on the variety of types of the edible there are in the United States”.
I remember when I was in Australia many years ago, when I would go into their many fish and chip shops, they would have 15 different kinds of fish to go with the chips!
But when something is accomplished the stands erupt in riots, mayhem and destruction. Just the opposite of a hockey game. ;-)
The Todd river boat races.
Both of these pictures were taken about 30 years ago. The first one was the Todd river camel race that happens the same time the boat race happens.
The second one was taken when there is water (usually once a year) in the river...for some reason, the aborigines always know when the rain is coming, everyone else know because they saw them moving.
Sorry. I've watched Australians down enough Foster's to float a battleship...and then head out to hit the bars!
Soccer seems to be the choicest sport of nations that are full of socialist dingbats, who prove to be pretty violent people when they worship (it is literal worship, in my view). Their god is a god of public violence, evidently.
Yes, I know this is considered hate speech.
Who’s his dad a gunsmith for? I thought Australians weren’t allowed to own guns.
I was an American stationed in Austrailia. See my profile.
Things American say that get funny looks or slaps from Australians:
“May I have a napkin?”
“This place smells like tuna!”
Whoa! You’re really tarted up tonight!”
“I’m ok... I just fell on my fanny”
Things Aussies have asked or said that got me confused or my dander up:
“Hey, mate, gimmie a fag.” or “Let’s go have a fag.”
“Are you pissed?” (My reply, “No, I’m a happy drunk.”)
Also, if a South Australian waves his hand in front of his face, do NOT wave back. He is not waving at YOU.
Coopers Real Ale works great too (not the crap they sell in the US now.) I used to get it here in the US (early 80’s) in returnable bottles. Never did get around to returning them but I gladly would have.
That's a myth - while Australia does have some fairly restrictive laws on guns (universal licencing and registration among them) Australians can certainly own firearms - and a large number do.
Basically you have to have the right licence for your weapons, and while it's quite easy to get a licence for a basic longarm, semi-automatics and hand guns require higher level licences, which though they are obtainable, take more effort to acquire. A fully automatic licence is possible, but difficult to get.
Yep - the Henley-On-Todd Regatta.
Why would they drink Canadian beer? Not there’s anything wrong with that.
That would be the Yank version I’m referring to.
Well, that’s a relief. I’ll have to tell my oldest son. That’s the only thing he has against Australia! :) Thanks for clearing that up.
Also from PA and just a year younger.....and I know what thongs he was talking about.
Sounds like a good start. My proposal calls for everything east of the Hudson, King county, WA, and San Francisco and Alemeda counties, CA.
But Speights (southern NZ) is the realest of all.
