Woh there Nelly, back up ... being far from Europe is a BAD thing?

1/ Yes I used to live there.........your point being????
2/ Yes I used to live there.........your point being????
3/ Huh????
4/ Huh???? Look at what was stated

Forgot to say Mick Dundee, spiders again and the way the house prices have knocked our '****ing plans sideways' quote from OH.

Also on a plus side made me think of positives about home, Percy French, Oscar Wilde, George Best, George Bernard Shaw, Alex Higgins, Molly Malone and not forgetting Liam Neeson.

- Well at least it beats Colonel Saunders!!!!!!!!


Good Luck,

Thought it was fairly simple.

Traffic Lights in London, are worse than Oz.
Profanities spoken by ladies, again worse in UK.
WTF a roo has to do with the entire scope of things is beyond me, but yes its a negative !
The friendly way in which ppl in shops talk to you, is a negative? You for real?

Errrrrrrrrrr....................do I know you??

Agreed it is fairly simple:

I thought this is a thread on the Australia forum, obviously I am incorrect and it is really a thread on let's compare OZ to the UK forum instead.

Please read my comments as if they were meant for an Australia forum, I state again,

Yes it is a long wait at traffic lights
Yes profanities are spoken by ladies
Yes kangaroos do lie in a strange position when clobbered by a car (IMVHO)
I love the friendly way people talk in the shops, but what I said was

Nothing at all about the service provided.

Finally, yes I am for real..........are you a troll?

Nice Guy, can I ask - in your opinion, is the following a negative aspect of the UK?

"hedgehogs lie in a strange position when flattened by the wheels of a passing truck".

Your SIG is APT !

Well said Mark !

I think, with due respect Mr Nice Guy has misconstrued the title of this thread, and the replies to what he considers negative.

It takes ages to get a visa (yes, we are still in the cue)

I think that Timber floor aus was merely making the observation that the usage of profane language by the female population is something that happens the world over....be it in Aus, UK, or Greenland.

Do you really think that Aussie women are always swearing ? Where do you live? Prisoner cell block H?

Hey markallwood

Might be better if you posted that question on a UK forum and not an Australia forum.

Strangely enough so is yours just under your user name..............

Misconstrued.................huh............now you have me baffled.

I thought the title of the thread was/is Obviously I must have misconstrued it.

My point was as Mark suggests.. but I was also referring to classifying what is negative as opposed to what is positive.

The fact we are on an Aussie forum, and the thread title, Anything Negative !! , to me implies, compared to the UK as it was by a United Kingdom poster.

So by stating that women swear, traffic lights etc..

to me anyway, infers that its a negative in oz compared to the uk.

Apologies if I have the wrong end of the stick.

But surely wouldnt a negative of Australia be..

distances for commuting
humid weather in summer
etc.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...................do I know you?

What I actually said was:
Not your interpretation.............as above

I live in Queensland, what Prisoner cell bock H has to do with it is beyond me............each to their own.

Do you still have parents living? Well, just imagine if you can, living 12,000 miles from them and one of them becomes critically ill. Basically, you listen to them die from a great distance and can do nothing to help.

That negative enough for ya?

That is pretty negative. FWIW I lived 3 hours down the M6 from my mother when she was dying and I still didn't get there in time.
