FAIR DINKUM.

Inbetween this post hubby,daughter and I popped off to a new Indian restaurant. lovely it was till a couple came and sat near us. She had one of those "tight" looking faces. Bloody hell could this woman whinge and moan non stop. I kindly instructed hubby dear to listen carefully as he was in a better position for "ear wigging". this women moaned and complained about everything and her hubby just sa t there like a good boy.
I looked across at my nearest and dearest and said "If I ever get like her , please give me a good slapping" He lovingly looked at moi and replied " It makes me realise how lucky I am with you. (hey , he married an Aussie) but I must admit I was real close to having to disipline her myself.
Our conclusion was " she wouldn,t survive long in Aus" lol
cheers

You know I have given this much thought.
If you,re in a hot climate like OZ would you still eat vindaloo or would you down grade to a madras?

didn,t have vindaloo but had FOUR lovely onion bhajis. Sheer heaven. All smothered in that lovely green minty sauce . Yummy
On a hot night like this the exhaust fumes are blowing around madly in the house , need the windows open in order to recieve enough oxygen for survival reasons. Hey, it,s a price worth paying....

there is more confrontation in soccer than in rugby. in rugby there is still an attitude where the ref is alway respected- we still call him 'Sir' believe it or not - on the rare occasions a punch drunk prop attacks a ref it is taken very seriously. whereas in soccer a player has only got to get caught "falling over" and he's at the ref yadda yadda ...hardly suprising they always get caught - when a rugby player goes down hurt he lies very still - when a soccer goes down for an oscar he writhes around like its going out of fashion!!
also the crowd noise does not relate to what is going on the field, probably because there is not a great deal going on, in rugbyu the noise goes up when someting happens. I was watching a soccer game the other day and I couldn't help but notice the continual animal noises from the crowd...
each to his own etc

From learning how to scrum more efficiently (there are loads of factors which people outside the game don't know about), the numerous lineout options require skill & loads of practise, the many backline combinations (most professional teams would have 50-60 well drilled movements), then the complexity of the breakdown and the skill it requires to maintain possession or get the opposition's ball.
I could go on & on...............rugby league I'm not so much of a fan. Gets a bit boring for me.

Well put about fitting in Badger (I had a mate called Badger,cos he only came out at night).
I'm in Oz to educate me and the family to Ozzy life.I won't be trawling bars looking for "English " beer-I like Guiness,but I'm prepared to make sacrifices living here-tho I know it's readily available.
I love to see all these British food and lolly shops packed full of migrants saying " oooh look,walnut whips/sherbert dips/texan bars etc etc."What about the juicy steaks,Iced cokes and all the other stuff the UK doesn't have.
Remember,when in Rome.........
I bet there's more opportunities in Oz to celebrate being British than the UK --who knows when St georges day is,and who did anything to celebrate it--not the BBC that's for sure.
BB-if I want a UK life,I'll go back to the UK

Texan bars? showing your age there BB, I have,nt seen them since the early 80's.
there is a shop in orlando florida that sells that sort of stuff, bloody stupid prices too, a sun newspaper $3 why anyone on a fortnights holiday can't do without Double Deckers or Flakes is beyond me, but then again american chocolate tastes like ****
ewww Herseys is the worst by far. Funny that stores over here are stocking more aussie stuff, just bought TimTams from Tescos
