Ali G was big here and the Office was also recently shown. At the moment Dead Ringers is on ABC. There is a lot of crap American stuff but the Simpsons and South Park are worth a laugh.
My Aussie wife loves the British humour and generally I find Aussies dismissive of american hunmour.

We'll just beg to differ on that one. I won't be able to take up the offer of a pint with Warwick Road either because I don't drink.

there is no way a moneyed, pampered aussie kid is goin to have the same attitude to life as someone brought up on a manchester council estate.....
the manc kid will be totally clued up by the time hes about 11 and nothing will ever phase him, the aussie has it all to see and do but he wont discover the real world till he hits 18 and branches out a bit.
btw i was using manc as an example, it could be any major city in the uk

I dont think drugs are a joking matter ( seeing as I help addicts everyday! Its not a nice thing, trust me!) but life cant get a bit hard if you dont learn to take things lightly! Drug Abuse IS a seroius problem affecting the world and I am one of the people helping continuosly to sort the problem out!! I am proud that I have the responsibility & skills to do so!

I think you'll find from my other posts that I have a very good sense of humour - just not about certain things.
It is the real me incidentally.
