Happy Australia Day!

 

I know we have a few Aussies around the place these days :) and my missus is a true blue Aussie (she is draped in her flag, munching Cheezels as we speak)... so here's to (yet another) shrimp on the barbie, mate! :friday:

 

..and here's a picture of a Kangaroo :)

Happy Autralia day :)

Btw Mike, is your missus mad or something to move to UK from OZ?

 

They all do it....come over here....take our jobs...then bugger off back home....I blame Gordon Brown.

 

Happy Australia day - I expect to see a similar post from you on St Georges day!

 

:D

 

BTW what is a true blue? Is that like a smurf?

I know!? but thankfully she did :love: We might move out there some day... they have better weather/houses/seafood/surf everyday :blahblah: :D

I have no idea.. I heard Phil (from Phil and Kirsty fame) say it on that tele programme he does on a Friday about moving to Oz :) If anyone is patriotic about their country, it's my missus :)

UK and Australia are two sides of the same coin.

We (Australia) have good weather, here (London) is not so good.

You have good public transport systems and short distances, we have very ordinary public transport because it's a huge place.

We have lots of space with no-one living in it (mostly because you can't!), whereas here is crowded and small (but vibrant and a palpable sense of history).

We have great food, here is getting better (but currently not consistently good).

Here you can travel to another culture and climate within 2 hours, home you have to travel for at least a day!

 

All depends what you're prepared to compromise on.

Edit: Oh, and we are essentially the same culture - coming to London was immediately familiar for me, apart from the constant complaints about the Tube :D

Yes, I have to say you Australian's don't complain much... how tall are you again?

And you sat in the back of the Supe without complain for nearly an hour! :D

Ha, I was just happy to be in a Supra again :D

 

Apparently, Australia Day is celebrated here on the weekend closest :blink: I suppose that's the most convenient way to get pissed :p

I just had a nice quiet one - gym, a bit of telly and a celebratory bit of ice-cream
