KILLIELASS

Hi,
Anybody got anything negative to say about life in Oz? It's something we will always regret not emigrating when we had the chance many moons ago. So it will make me feel a little better about the decision if I could read some negative comments. Come on, cheer me up while I look out at pouring rain, pleaaaaase? Anything???

You don't get Carling on tap here

- The two dollar coins are a stupid size.
- Driving is more aggressive here (generally of course)
- The mossies, flies, etc, etc
- Can't get a decent pint of Guinness
- The choice of 'newspapers' is woeful
- A comedian called 'Austen Tayshus' is allowed to exist
- Tried supporting Oz against everyone but England (as was my original philosophy) but still want them to lose, especially at cricket ... makes watching live international sport a bit of a conundrum

Don't drink Carling but cheers honey.
Take care,

I'm not sure whether or not you are being sarcastic. But that only makes it even funnier.

The courier mail is all you need. Who needs to read about world affairs, when you can read about the interesting lives of qld state politicians?

Loch Lomond

Ha...try the West Australian..boy don't they know they hold the state monopoly on daily papers.

Depends on if you're a glass half full or half empty kinda person.

I love it here as do my kids. But then we moved to live in Aus and not some extension of the UK

Vim Fuego

Yeh, we KNOW all that ... but have you got anything negative to say?

Read the original post!

COME ON say it woman!

Must be SOMETHING, hell, I can make something up, hold on, here it comes <squeeze> ... 'The adverts DURING the programmes are really irritating'.

See, s'easy, innit?

Not as stupid as the £2 coin. What's the point of having a coin that is twice the weight and twice the size when it is only twice the value of another coin. You may as well have two £1 coins. At least the $2 coin reduces the strain on your pocket.

I know that makes the 10c and 20c coins stupid but we inherited them from the Brits.

Can you tell that I was a fan of the 20p coin?

MartinLuther

Neither do I, it's foul tasting stuff.

Just like VB

carmele

That gets me........... when I'm rooting through the change in my purse (i'm not allowed to have notes I always go for the bigger coin thinkin it's of more value!

Is the 50 cent piece on steroids too?
