The union jack takes up less than 25% of the space on our flag, is a little reminder to hold another referendum, and keeps nanna happy (she'll be dead soon).

I was self-employed at the time and the insurance cover is limited, so I'm not sure how long the money will last I'm concerned that I won't be able to keep the mortgage payments up, as I can't start work again till the neck brace is off.

Anyone who thinks that International Cricket is a civilized game played over Lipton's Tea (or Twinnings depending on your sexuality) is deluding themselves and should die screaming (too much?).

Cricket has never been a physical game (punches on the pitch), but it has been very spiteful and rife with sledging ever since the underarm repercussions (maybe earlier).

Punter Ponting is not to blame for Indian cricketers having a water pistol and no raincoat.

BTW: if you've still got a kidney .. things could be worse

2) Mark Little fottballer? Mark Little actor? Mark Little designer?
3)Most Aussies are from NZ cuzi bro!
4)Bouncer didnt die, he was written out of the show because he liked to sniff too much pussy.
5) Aussies and drinking..........you are mislead. We start drinking at 4 and we don't drink fosters cause its shit so we export it.

jdichord, I saw a Pommy with a beer in each hand staggering down Collins Street in Melbourne the last time I was down there. He was a dirty, filthy guy yelling obscenities at everyone while dropping pollywaffles on the side walk as he crawled. Does that sort of fit description of him?


Well it could be but he just recently married an Aussie bird and i think she married him cause thats the typical behaviour of an Aussie male that she got fed up with so im led to believe ;) ......saying that i wouldn't rule it out,if you see him again shout "oi Greg you wanker,jay says hows your Greene King"....if its him he will understand.

In the southern hemisphere water DOES swirl the other direction , however , aussie toilets dont use water the way the ones in the US do. Thier toilets basicly spray the waste down the pipe so the water never has a chance to swirl. :)

Depending where they are from and how they act,....both. Aboriginal elders that manage their people and culture are to be held in high esteem. While the other side to that coin is, substance abuse is high in the aboriginal community, so it makes for some ugly behavoir and treatment. Vicious cycle.

Any of the Aussies here ever scuba dived the Great Barrier Reef? Im a scuba diver and a surfer and I've always wanted to make it to Australia the must see for both.

Yes, i grew up surfing and fishing, i done my junior open water dive course at 13 and then my PADI senior at 16,as for diving the GBR i have only snorkled it.

Ok i know this might be sort of controversial but I understand that Australia was basically a penal colony of the British and other European states.
Europeans basically send people there to starve and die.
How do you think this has effected the average gene pool of Australians?
Also how on earth do you live with the various venomous animals that are crawling around?
I would fucking have a nervous breakdown if there was some snake in my tub.
Which happens to be an actual event that happened to a Australian family i knew.
They had a snake in the bath tub and the son chopped it to bits with a Katana.
Still..fuck you have a lot of dangerous creepy crawlies.
You don't like Fosters but erhm..I liked how you kicked the Muslim ass during those riots.

Is it safe to swim and snorkel and Scuba on the Great Barrier Reef? How long does it take to get out there? Aren't there great white sharks out there?
Yes water sports are safe on the GBR only big tiger sharks and reef sharks, the Great whites are found (usually) in the cooler waters from Byron Bay in northern NSW to southern west Australia. As for how long it takes to get to the GBR it depend what part you want to go to, the reef system ranges from the shore to hundreds of miles out to sea.

Is it safe to swim and snorkel and Scuba on the Great Barrier Reef? How long does it take to get out there? Aren't there great white sharks out there?

Hi Chucky-D,

I actually hold PADI Divemaster qualifications and worked on Diveboats after leaving the Army, and I live in the tropics, in Cairns, Far North Queensland, so the reef is just off my doorstep. So believe that I am more than qualified to answer your questions here. :cool:

Yes it is relatively safe to swim and snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef, while there are venomous and dangerous creatures on the reef, All hazards are very easily avoided. LOOK, but DONT TOUCH, unless your show its safe by your Snorkelling Guide, or Divemaster.

Many people ask the question about Sharks, but
how many attacks occur on the Great Barrier Reef?

Despite the fact we get so many visitors to the reef,
the risk of shark attack is very low and there are many
various contributing factors to that.

1. NO Great White Sharks - the tropical waters in Far North Queensland are too warm for the Great white which is only found in cold to temperate waters.

We do however have large Tiger Sharks and Hammerheads, Bull Sharks, Bronze Whalers, Black Tip & White Tip Reef Sharks. The more aggressive sharks are the Tiger Sharks and Hammerheads, Bull Sharks. But their diet in these waters mainly consists of Turtles and Fish and
NOT HUMANS. Great White Sharks attack humans because they mistake them most of the time for seals.

Nosey sharks can be easily fended off, particularly when SCUBA diving. Usually an experienced divemaster will fend the shark off with a 'Bump Stick' (short baton) while directing you to get out of the water if a dangerous shark is present.

But situations like that are extremely rare up here. Because of the diversity of fish life on the reef, sharks out there are very well feed.

Dont dive or swim if you are fishing, and dont spear fish, because this can provoke sharks into a frenzy and even your normally harmless Black Tip & White Tip Reef Sharks might decided to see what you taste like. So dont do stupid stuff like that and you will be fine.

2. Going out to the reef can vary between 30 minutes to few hours by highspeed Catamaran. How long it will take will depend on your intended destination. The Great Barrier Reef is made up of a chain of about 3,000 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for 2,600 kilometres down the coast of Queensland. The further south you go, the further it is offshore.

To go to the outer reef from Cairns by highspeed Catamaran will take about 1 hour. it can take longer, depending also on the type of boat you are on. If you were doing an extended Dive trip, you might be on a sailing boat, there are many options available here to go to the reef.

I love Night diving, its a real buzz on the reef, the colours at night under lights is amazing, so you might like to do an overnight trip to experience that.

Other hazards around costal areas include Crocodiles and Marine Stingers (Box Jellyfish). safest time of year to swim at the beaches is between May to September because waters are cooler and crocodiles spend most of the time out of the water sunning themselves. They become more active in summer months and can be found around beaches and saltwater rivers, along with the marine stingers. This time of year is a good time to swim in the swimming holes in freshwater creeks that come down from the mountains, refreshing clean water with very few hazards.

Avoid these rivers if heavy rainfall is around or theyre in flood.

If you have any further questions, feel free to
PM me anytime for more info on my local region.

Q. How do you think this has effected
the average gene pool of Australians?

A. How has it affected Americans?
The USA was also a British Penal Colony if you didnt know.

Are we suppose to be a nation full of crims
or we are stupid as its most often applied?

Convicts were sent here as 'political prisoners' & 'petty thieves' who might have been deported for stealing a loaf of bread. Serious & dangerous criminals were executed in Britian and were never deported to Australia.

Q. Also how on earth do you live with the various venomous animals that are crawling around?

A. Dont be Paranoid... dont panic if you see a dangerous animal, stay calm and dont approach it, back away slowly.

Nearly every single snake I have ever seen is trying to get away. Theyre in fear more than you are. You appear as this huge creature to a snake, so it is going to feel threatened by you. You will normally encounter these in or around bushland. Snakes avoid densely populated urban areas.

As with all reptiles, including crocs, if you freeze it wont see you, if you move it may strike, wait a few minutes and the snake will go away. I have had a snake actually crawl up my leg to sniff me and then suddenly turned around and run away. I just stood still and didnt panic so it didnt bite me.

Snakes dont often come into houses, only of your living near bushland and leave a door open to allow the damn snakes to come in.

No we dont like Fosters, that is the cheap crappy
beer we send overseas because noone here likes it. :p

Duh :confused: you don't get it do you? :rolleyes:

Australians dont like any beer that tastes like 'recycled camel's piss' & Fosters is one beer that tastes like this.... particularly in Australia's warm climate where beer gets hot and goes flat within minutes of opening a stubbie of Fosters.

Australia's preferred beers are:

Top Full Strength Beers

1. V.B. (Victoria Bitter)
2. XXXX (Fourex)
3. Toohey's New.
4. Carton Cold

Top 3 popular Mid-strength Beer

1. Carlton Mid-Strength
2. XXXX Gold (Fourex Gold)
3. VB Midstrength Lager
4. Lite Ice

But these are just some of the many beers that Australians drink, however what beers are more popular depending on the state you are in. For example, here in Queensland XXXX (Fourex) is a beer originally produced in this state and favoured by local drinkers. In New South Wales, you will find it is Tooheys, and in Victoria, you will find VB & Carlton to be the more popular beers.

However you will generally find 'Bitters' to always be more
popular with the average Australian drinker than 'Lagers'.

Although I am Bourbon (Jack Daniels/Jim Beam) drinker myself....

If I drink beer, I drink for taste not because of the state
I live in, so I generally like VB and Carlton Mid-strength.

I hope that answers your question. :cool:

Aussie health care chucky is, for the most part, very good. While its NOT perfect, I am happy that its something that is on offer to all Australians, regardless of income. We have a socialised system, as you probably realise. The standard of health care is excellent, though, some might point out there are waiting lists for non urgent surgery. It falls down a bit too, in remote areas. People in the outback have to travel thousands of miles, or relocate for ongoing treatment.

Pubs here, are diverse, we have pubs that brew their own beer, and pubs that are owned by the breweries. Country pubs are very different to city ones, country pubs are the hub of social contact , while in the city, they may be the place to be seen if they are a boutique pub.

Prostitution, isnt a big problem in australia, because it is legalised, and the girls are registered sex workers. There isnt too much of the streetwalker to be seen these days. Most registered prostitutes work in brothels which are well run, I know this because my sister used to be the night manager (not a sex worker) in one that had a great reputation, she has some enlightening stories to tell.

Australia and new zealand share a close relatiosnhip, you should visit both places if you make it down here to this part of the world.

40% of French men, and 25% of women, do not change their underwear daily.
Fully 50% of the men, and 30% of women, do not use deodorant.
Average British citizen uses 3 pounds of soap annually. The German uses 2.9 pounds, and the average Frenchman uses 1.3 pounds. This means the average Frenchman uses four or five bars of soap a year. Since this is an average, that means some French use more soap than that, but some use a lot less.
Of those surveyed 67% of French respondents said they brush their teeth twice a day. Le Figaro did the math. If that were true, sales of toothpaste should be more than 240 million tubes a year, and not the current (1998) 198.5 million.
Le Figaro cited experts who concluded that "more than one French person in two does not respect elementary rules of body hygiene."

Why is it some Aussies are so racist against their own roots it makes you wonder how they can walk upright with that massive chip??

It would seem that alot of aussies have a preoccupation when it comes to nationality.
I know some of it is just a bit of humor.
I also know that some of it is not.
Why are aussies so preoccupied with other countries?

It wouldnt have anything to do with the fact we were convict scum, that was banished from the motherland for minor "crimes"? It doesnt matter Sean, it all ended up good, we down here got paradise, and now many of your fellow British bust their bums, to immigrate...LOL:D

Maybe cause we are an island nation stuck down here in the bowels of the globe, we dont get out much (not true, per capita, we have the highest passport ownership)....or our isolation has made us elitists, just look at how good we are at sport:) Or we know how to rattle a few fragile nationalities cages:eek:

Here's a question. Why do Aussies obsess so much about their identity and how it relates to the rest of the world? It's like a national obsession.
