I remember her too, cant remember name though..

*Injectilo was from Australia too I believe.

That was Liz_85.




Yes, he was. Good memory.

Do you remember Nick from Down Under? He used to post on the old (black) boards.

We've had a few other members from Australia, too.

I don't remember Nick. I really don't recall too many people from the old board unless they post here.

I demand answers.

I don't know bro, I never go out to the "wild". Plus, I hate Onions.

No one drinks it here either.

I've never seen anyone drink one, I've never drank one, I've never seen a case of it in the store, I've never seen a can of it in person, and I haven't seen a commercial for it since, like, 2005-ish, and that's an estimate coming from a guy who is horrible at making up time-lines and has a useless memory.

I actually forgot all about Fosters until I read your post.

I see it a lot on the Metro North trains, so they must sell them loose at Grand Central. I don't care for it. Too bitter.

That's because the Australian's are all a pack of depraved alcoholics who literally urinate alcohol. That entire ad-campaign was a typo. It was supposed to read "Fosters is Australian's beer.

yep, was indeed me. been years since i've been on these boards! and whisper, being a melbourne girl myself i can't disagree with anything you say. fosters is just yuck, wolf creek was decent, and more than anything kangaroos just annoy me when i'm driving.

Liz, welcome back. Nice to see you again.

Thanks TIS, likewise

Australia is cool in my books. You guys have a good skateboard scene with pros like Dustin Dollin coming out of Australia. I feel you on the stereotypes as Canada has its fair share. We don't say aboot or have pet moose.

Blake!

How's it going, ay? You wearin' your tuque up there in the Great White North? JK

I'm just oot and aboot, hanging out in my igloo mostly eh. I'm going to throw and my tuque and brave the great outdoors so I can check out one of them fancy shopping malls.

Okay, I have a question. Whenever I see Australia depicted on television, everyone is very "outdoorsy," which I love. It seems that the beach is a very big deal in the coastal sections, as well. Everyone has nice tans, etc . . .

So why is Nicole Kidman so cadaverously freaking pale?

She makes the Pillsbury Dough Boy look like he just got back from a tropical vacation.

And does anyone in Australia actually find her attractive? I mean, besides her husband who needs her money for 12 month a year rehab .

Because to me, she looks like one of the needy, flat-chested children in the "Save the Children" infomercials.

I don't find her attractive at all. I guess she has her admirers as she's in Hollywood etc. Her Husband is a fake wanna be American. Singing in an American accent etc..pfffttt.

Aussies love their sport etc so we do spend a lot of time outdoors etc. It's funny how everyone thinks it's always hot and the outback etc etc. Most of the population live in major cities and it's hot in Summer, like everywhere else.

I had no idea Nicole's husband (can't think of his name) was an Aussie until very recently. Isn't unusual for a Country Western singer?

damn straight!

i like australia. i think we are 'the lucky country' as is so often heard around these parts. we have great weather, great countryside, great people. we have all extremes, desert, rain forest, snow capped mountains and sandy beaches. we have densely populated cities and sparsely populated countryside. you have choices in australia.

however, there are things i don't like. in particular, a government which is attempting to censor it's people, in particular our access to the internet. all of this is under the guise of 'but won't somebody think of the children!'. it has gotten bad lately, with the south australian government banning (and then due to pressure rescinding) a policy banning people from making political comments on the internet unless their name and post code was listed. wtf?

oh, and there is a movement to ban pornography with flat chested women because they could look underage. this is not a joke, they are trying to pass this as legislation.

i'm not normally one to talk politics, but the nanny state mentality in australia at the moment is seriously worrying.

but all in all, i wouldn't live anywhere else.

You still in G Town?

yep, though i cringe every time i see or hear the words 'g-town'. ;P

As a kid, I spent 3 years living in Exmouth on the Harold E. Holt Naval Base. It's on the Northwest Cape about 800 miles NW of Perth. Traveled all around the country - to Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, GB Reef..... wonderful scenery. I hope to be able to go back and visit as a grown up!

Yeah, I was in G-TOWN the other week drinking at the nash. haha
