You know what, loved it. Didn’t expect to as the rest of Australia hate on them and call it boring but I really liked it. Nice wee CBD surrounded by park, easy people and amazing food and wine. Huge fan.
Revolutionary thinking if that was the case

Just spitballing tbh
It's true, if I had my time over again I would have left here for good. I am eligible for an Irish passport but too late now to bother.

I speak to Irish people as part of my work every day and they will complain about the rain. every day. Always. Is 90% of the chat.
I must say though as I've gotten older I despise the cold of winter more and more and it's obviously a lot more mild here.

One of my favourite pages. Especially when the old home towns get mentioned.

I wasn't going to respond, then I was, then I wasn't. What the heck. Five minutes of my life I can't get back.
The accent - fair call, aspects of it annoy me. Regional Queensland is the worst. But is the Aussie accent any worse than Brummie?
The racism - this is where it gets interesting. Are you referring to the Cronulla riot; relations with the indigenous population? I raise you Notting Hill, Brixton, Southall, Toxteth, the National Front, British Movement, Britain First......Didn't the first black players on Merseyside get greeted with monkey noises - from their own supporters? What about the religious bigotry in Belfast, Glasgow & to a lesser extent Liverpool? There are issues in Australia like there is the world over. Relations with indigenous people has a complicated history, but don't believe everything you hear in the media. There is much good being done which gets little coverage. Aussie cities are very multicultural & for the most part everyone gets along fine.
The general pent up aggression everyone appears to have, always feels like it could kick off at the drop of a corked hat - oh my; where to begin & end. For all the tenacity in Aussie sport, fans have never been segregated, caged in the ground or escorted to & from the ground by cops. Why exactly was the term "English Disease" coined? Isn't London the stabbing capital of the world? Lads in Australia get p!ssed at the pub or a sporting event & a scrap breaks out like it does in Liverpool & everywhere else. Our towns & cities have all the problems associated with unemployment, crime, drugs, etc - jut like they do the UK. The vast majority of Aussies are laid back & easy going. I am in my mid-fifties & never had any problems throughout my life.
Behave yourself lad with your finger pointing of racism & aggression. You quite honestly have no idea what you are talking about, nor do you take into account your own backyard.
