The OFFICIAL what I don't like about Oz thread
OK here are the rules:
After this we need a thread for the official what I DO like about Oz Thread.
I'll go first with my entry below. At the end of a month we can see how many pet hates and loves there are on each thread
cheers

Us too, theres nothing that bothers me that much here! There are some things we found a bit strange at first, like people going shopping barefoot, but im used to seeing it now.
Overall, i think we've adjusted very well into our new country

Ubiquitous Vests (sorry i mean singlets-fine on women but on blokes..makes them look like theyve gone out in their pyjamas!!)
Stupid ZZTop beards
"Are you a Holden or Ford man" - wtf... Holden = general motors = shit quality. Ford = rubbish. Australian supercars - what a joke
"Flash" utes with twin exhausts/spoilers etc - utterly ridiculous
The need to call all national sports teams after furry native animals or give them stupid nicknames
Pokies
Those big fat noisy exhaust pipes - why do you want your car to be as noisy as possible - its about as mature as pegging playing cards to your bike frame so your push bike sounds like a motorbike but as you are 6 years old its ok...but when you are in yr late teens/twenties....just SAD
The victim culture - aussies love a good whinge - poor me & look at how hard done by I am
The word "battler" - read "loser"
Rove McManus & his fat blonde sidekick - is that show meant to be ironic by being deliberately unfunny - there can be no other explanation
Midnite Oil - how bad are they with that baldie frontman who is possibly the worst singer of all time
Steve Bracks - mr do nothing - the first thing he should do is get his adenoids fixed
Aussie trucks - a tortoise gets off the mark quicker
Blokes streaking their hair - aussie blokes...it makes you about as macho as Julian Clary...why do you do it??

Re: The OFFICIAL what I don't like about Oz thread
I'm sensing a little angst, Hawk. I'll have to agree with you about the Pokies, but I don't go anywhere where they have them so they don't really bother me day to day.

I did'n't have the time to list all mine, but you did it for me. Spot on!
I'll add this though:
Stupid bit of hair hanging down the back of mens heads in a reverse goatee type of way.

All the f**king inadequate whinging poms who come here for a new life and then complain when there are aspects of said new life that are different from their old life.
