but that is the great thing about this forum, you build a picture in your head of the other users that post regularly, no doubt you are all totally different to what i imagine.

.Of course I must be Dagboy as well then, to have one person making up an alias & then someone else making up that aliases husband/wife would just to TOO weird!
:scared: Billy, dunno, we were discussing end of Feb, but thats as far as it got, no plans yet.
Anyway, maybe someone else might like to organise it this time.

I think some people at the meet were a bit surprised (or maybe not, maybe I am wrong), but I was the one running around without a name tag for most of the meet, just chatting to people without telling them who I was. Once I was forced to put my username on my name tag & wear it by Dagboy I got different reactions
. My shy side was showing

Mind you it should have been pretty damn obvious that I was Mrs Dagboy as soon as I opened my mouth & anyone heard me, I think I was the only one there with an aussie accent until Pollys Bloke turned up late in the afternoon LOL. Spot the Aussie

I know what you mean..
It intrigues me how people react when they meet personalities from a online forum etc. I have been a very long itme member of a Kiwi based one. We had all "known" each other for nearly 2yrs before many of us met up. It really made me laugh just how many of them were shocked at how different people were offline. Some were very extrovert online but painfully shy in person, others the total opposite. Some were outwardly amazed at me being a big person (ok..fat chick!!..LOL) even though i had spent a longtime previously online, convincing them i was!! What was even stranger, was their totally different behaviour towards me after seeing me!!... people can be totally bizarre at times!

Who really gives a toss, whether or nor Badgers is taking the p*ss?
If the bloke's happy, then good for him, and the rest who criticise him and others like him should take their heads out of their arses and get a life.
Some people will always have green eyes.

Well, we have been to a lot of parties, and or have been out to dinner at the riverside tavern opened last year. Last night was a big water pistol fight at my mate's wife's mother's and father's. Bruce had to go home to pick up his gigantic water cannon so I positioned all the kids in the drive in a massive pre-set ambush. The father hugged me and said I had become part of the family and was glad to have me back in Australia. We met more friends of friends from Sydney and Melborne and swapped numbers and addresses. A bit of banter was exchanged but only for a few mins. I gave it to them about the Rugby.
A good time was had by all. Watched the Sky UK News and thought ' bloody hell these Poms sound pompous!'. They were talking for 15 mins about student fees and I still haven't understood the crux of the argument this time around! Something about 15K or something. The Aussie News keeps things nice and simple and the pollies and newsreaders just keep discussions quick and easy. None of this long rah-rah and shouting to the camera like in UK.
Mossies not too bad. A few small spiders observed, but no Huntsman yet :-(
Tonight meeting up with some SA friends. Tomorrow a massive party in my honour as well. Everyone is coming, even Australia's World motorbike champ who my mate knows - no names.

And of course Polly & I could be one of those multiple personality posters people go on about, except for the fact that if we were, then we must also be the force behind the other 37 people that came to the expats meet at Wynnum .

Why dont you just say what you want to instead of bringing up sly jabs in somebody elses posts. If you disagree with a persons comment instead of making vague jabs disguised as a funny, just say I disagree with what XYZ said about ABC.

Re: Listen to yourselves!
Scotvness, you make some great points, very canny man. Your theories on the Defending the Negative and knocking the UK for justification seem spot on.
As for badge I still think most in the UK are going to admire his "Paul Hogan" type persona, which only badge could get away with.
Its interesting to note tho that many of the "long termers" in OZ know most of us trying this would receive a huge cringe factor. The 2 points show the very real difference in the perception of OZ and the reality of OZ.
Ozzies are trying to escape the images of 20 odd years ago, most want to move on and be looked at on a less "cultural cringe" factor, I think respecting that would go a long way (unless you are badge who could do a "Precilla Queen of the Desert" in Bris High street and get away with it. )

Sorry dear, just replying to the was it 6 or seven posts there of snide remarks We all know Mrs D does not like my comments, its been pointed out to me by hundreds of other posters Thats fine with me.
However why overtake someone elses thread as the latest way of having a jab. Surely the best way would have been for Mrs D to go into my thread on Multiple personality types and comment there. Besides as she well knows she was never accused of being one anyway, so why go to the trouble of mentioning it? Just for a swipe perhaps?

Weather you agree or dissagree with what has been discussed is not at this stage relevant to your reply (though I'd like to hear it), but a fair hearing and a chance to debate a subject with replys relevant to what is going on from those taking part would be most welcome.
