That pool table in The Docile Trollop never recovered ... the balls still slow up.

It's when they stick you need to worry!

Nor me. We used to call 'em 'burgers'

Is this another one of those instances where the OP thinks they are "normal" and 20M Aussies are weird

A funny (I think so anyway) little story for you - we nipped into the new IGA at Kinross (so posh they have a security guard outside for the kids to tease . As we are about to get out of the car, this missus tries to get a bobble off my daughter "because my hair is a mess". In the end I persuade her to go in as she is and be more Aussie about it. So in we walk, her in a pelmet of a skirt and 2 saucer sized wet-patches on her chest from her wet bikini underneath, me in a wet t-shirt (shudder) and swimming shorts. I wouldn't say we were the best dressed in there but we were hardly out of place.

Can't be doing with those who walk around with no shoes on. Errr!!! manky

OH and I were in Australia Dec05/Jan06 and we loved the relaxed attitude to what you wear - it's one of the things I'm looking forward to as well as living in a city clean enough where I can go without shoes if I choose. I can't imagine spending a fortune to have an "in" bag or pair of jeans - who, apart from OP obviously, gives a crap?

Someone said it before - here in the UK kids are teased and bullied for not wearing the right kinds of clothes which in turn puts the pressure on their parents to fork out for them...it's a ridiculous state of affairs. Have you had a good look around in town of a weekend, little kids are wearing clothes more suited to adults - it's awful to see little girls in knee high boots and little boys who look like cut down versions of their dads.

If your concern is what you or others around you is wearing then a full life you do not lead IMO.

When we get over there I'll be looking for either laid back Britons or Aussie friends - I don't want my experience of Oz to turn into just a sunnier UK. We are going for the relaxed pace and change of lifestyle - not to be slagged off for our choice of clothes.

I didn't spot it Blame it on my cotton wool head, which is having problems just with the basics (ie had to ask OH the other day what cow meat is called).

FWIW I'm actually dressing smarter these days to go to work, because most Australians seem to make quite an effort to look smart.

I still don't know what a 'camel toe' is ...or a 'muffin top'
Yes northernbird, the use of the word 'retard' bothered me too

When I got here 15 yrs ago and applied for jobs in Sydney, I was seriously shocked at the high standard of business dress. I went away and restyled myself somewhat. Quite embarrassing!

A camel toe is where a woman wears her trousers so tight that it slices her vagina into two and makes it look like a rather porky camel toe.

A beetles bonnet is where the trousers are tight but not splitting it into two pieces, its just one chunky fat one.

A muffin top is where a woman wears a top too tight/short and she pours over each side of her skirt/jeans and it looks like one of those fat muffins you get in Starbucks.
