Australians

[PhilEFC]

They think they're big drinkers but their beer comes in a glass that holds just over half a pint.

Well said that man. And their ale is like piss.

They wouldn't last 5 minutes in the Peacock.

Cracking people.

The birds... my christ the birds.

To be fair, they are very good. Good fanny admin as well.

Until they start speaking.

Awful people. Think they're amazing and better than everyone else but without anything to back it up. Tiny bit like Scousers but without the sense of humour.

I'd vote yes twice if I could tbh.

In my experiences - all great fun people. Lived with a REALLY fit Oz girl as well, so that probably makes my choice a bit more obvious.

Also like the accent, NEA.

Rough as course sandpaper.
All convict descendants.
Owe the aborigines millions in rent.
A man who dresses as a woman is a national treasure .
They think crickets great.
Weird/no sense of humour .

This;

There's pluses and minuses.
Unless you live there for some time, 90% of what you think you know is wrong...much like everywhere.

Now to Important things;
Their beer may be strong, cold and wet but the near monopoly of Carlton is a drag.
you can't get a decent sausage or selection of spud varieties.
Plenty of decent cheap wine

If the Aussies aren't winning at it you won't hear about it

I've lived in Brisbane for 6 yrs...made more money here than I did in 16yrs in NZ

If it wasn't for Aldi the supermarket Duopoly would be robbing us blind
The petrol stations and banks DO rob you blind
same as most places really, but warmer and with spectacular scenery.

the Internet speed's slower than Romania.

Thing about your semi tropics is you get acclimatised to it and you think it's cool @20c and have to put a jumper on.

Oh and you can't move for rs's for some reason.

A decent sausage?

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

You think Australian folk are racist.
When you get to know our Eastern European friends that come over here better,you'll see racism, even their women don't hold back

 

[Feary93]

Narr bunbury, we beat gero and kalgoolie for the title

Yeah isn't 6 in every 10 people in Bunno on meth?

 

[rhino_83]

When I worked for Yodel roughly 50% of the work force was Eastern European. We had about 10-20 lids from places like Angola, Zimbabwe, Nigeria etc. The Poles would make monkey noises at them across the the warehouse fairly regularly. Proper backwards bunch bar a few good eggs.

Poor judgement this pal. Racism takes many forms intended or not.

On a wider note, personally I find the whole idea of characterising any nation of people extremely odd, but I find it hugely distasteful when the characterisations are entirely negative.

Football is supposed to be at the forefront in the campaign against racism, and that's not reflected in this thread, in fact the opposite.
