Superior, you are aptly-named. Everyone must feel superior to you and your inane, ill-informed comments.
I particularly like your reference to 'backwards Europe.'
That'll be the same Europe that managed to land a space probe on Titan and develop the world's most advanced aeroplane. It seems to compare moderately favourably with the country that invented Aussie Rules.
And I take extra comfort from the fact you're far, far away at the AOTP*

Hi Mike, looked through your posts as a new member to the forum and I've got to say - impressed. Looks like you could cause an argument in an empty room!
Got to say though - I'm slightly nervous at leaving a post now - I've just copied and pasted this post into word and spell checked!!! lol

I'm happy to have a serious discussion on anything vaguely Oz-related. Or give the "Oz is wunnerful" brigade a bit of a slapping. These Aussie Witnesses include the likes of the Adelaide Lard Boy (aka wombat42) and Oz's very own cross-dresser, ABCDiamond ...

Aussies are nothing if not inventive. For example, an Aussie took a metal bucket, cut a hole in it and stuck it in on his head. And then started stealin' and shootin'. It only works well if your first name is Ned.

I like your "location" information:
"Been there. Done that. Returned to UK", stuck around for a while, but came back to Australia, and now feel settled
You should stop following me around I did mention to you once that we have been very similar, but I now feel I may have been wrong. I think that both countries have good points, and don't need to slag off the other one all the time, like you feel you do, well.. not any more
.And then of course you do feel the need to use "personal insults" to get your message across ..
I always used to have an opinion about people like that, and I assume others have their own opinions too.Have a nice day

Put it another way - you're wrong...again.
But, take heart : an Aussie did invent the septic tank - to which you seem to be a keen contributor.

At the end of the day guys a considerable amount of Australians are descended from Brits so I think we can take a lot of credit for making Australia so Great
