Doubtless you would have also started another banal thread on here, yet again congratulating Australias latest "one up" on the Brits.

You are a tragic parody of an ignorant redneck Aussie, who has never travelled outside his own state, let alone used a passport (by the way you don't need one to visit Sydney, in case you ever want to.)

I have said it before and will say it again. If any prospective pom migrants wish to see what awaits them in Australia, then read some of Womtwats posts. The ignorant, self congratulating, parochial and downright hostity to anything forgein (IE not Straylian), should well be the warning you need not to uproot yourselves 12000 miles and spend thousands of pounds to end up in a backward, suburban isolated sandpit, surrounded by ignoramases whose national pastime is pom bashing.

Sorry fella, you'll just have to live with yourself 'til the end.

If you watched the video diaries that she made, i am sure that even all you doubters would have to take your hats off to her ( youll need to take your heads out of your arses first though) :p
