We'll start saying nice down here when you start saying something bad up there. See my point, probably not going to happen is it

Admin Sue, you were complaining about the 'them and us' situation here lately, yet you let people post this kind of stuff. We'd get bashed up in the Godzone for saying anything bad about Oz up there, yet it seems perfectly ok for them to invade our space with their 'defend Oz at all costs' crap. What's that all about then?

OMG nearly fell off me chair laughing v.v.v. funny

FPM

NB,

If your 'can't be arsed' reply was to me, i was not referring to you. In general you seem quite balanced in your approach down here.

It was mate, look I think this was meant to be a light hearted thread. Yours was the first antagonistic post in it. Nobody has defended Australia in this thread and nobody has slated the anti-australia brigade in this thread either.

FPM

I know, but this type of thread seems to be coming ever more common down here. I guess I was referring to the trend rather than this particular thread. But it always seems to be the same people (with the exception of Lane,,haha)

Ok no need to split hairs!

I had a Koala bear as a cuddly toy when I was small

They're all on fire at the moment HP. There was a bit in the Age about how Mt Buller or Buffalo might get hit!

northernbird

I hope you didn't call them Koala Bears when you were in Australia, my friends well take the mick when we call them Bears.

FPM

Pandas aren't bears either (not that they are Australian), and all Polar bears are left handed There used to be bears in the UK, according to my 'A Natural History of the British Isles' dvds.


also Sth America has the most marsupials of any continent.

EH?


If you are referring to the Monito del Monte it is the only marsupial mammal in South America, there are however thousands of types of Gastrotheca in South America but since those are frogs they cant really be included in the whole marsupial mammal thing.
Australasia has far more marsupials than anywhere on earth.

FPM

Not according to 'Wild Sth America' I'm sure it said there are over 40 types of marsupial there. I'll check the dvds again tonight, been a while since I watched them.

I lived in Colombia for a while and can't say i saw any there. Did eat a guinea pig though!

rugbymatt

There are loads of marsupial frogs but as far as i know there are over 200 species of marsupials in Australasia of the 334 species world wide. Think there are a few in central America and some in the US

Rascal

OZ is Utopia!!
But then again, I can be forgiven, I have spent 4.5 years existing in NZ.
Anyone coming from here to OZ would think its Utopia!

FPM

Perhaps they were lobbing the frogs in then as well then? I'll check out the dvds.

But polar bears are left handed, check one out next time you see them write something

rugbymatt

Yeah, never heard that one. How strange though!
