Ipom, took me slightly longer than it should have to "get it" but this fellow here is like an, net pommy version of Barry Humphreys.... Pure entertainment with a satirical undertone.

I guess not everyone enjoys Dame Edna either.

Do you mean the traffic congestion or the outcry about the Taxi Driver ?
You have posted some fine comments on this thread , I refer not to you but the hoards awaiting a Visa in the UK to the land which has need of many hairdressers and brickies

Toodle Pip & Cheery Bye, Old Bein', never know your luck in the Big City.

Well done with the lead boots and snorkel, BTW.

You lose , think up another game if you can, most be bloody boring living in NSW , Ms Jermaine Greer once said the Western Suburbs of Sydney were the pits and the most depressing place on the planet , no wonder she like any thinking Aussie ran away to London

Is it just a case of OZ is no different to the UK?

Big cities are the same the world over. Personally I like the vibe of Melbourne, It's big enough to come with some of the warts but not quite as many as most Metropolis of the same size.

Poor guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time..... Better in my book than being in the wrong place all of the time.

I think they do, pro capita it is probably worse. Australia, UK, USA are the top 3 of the western industrialised world for having the most violent crimes. You also have a high suicide rate amongst teenagers over there.

Warts would cover it and weather on a par to UK , nice sales pitch but rather stay in the UK , Melbourne is the wrong place

First warning , this is yellow card post , wannabes cannot handle the truth , they wish to believe that the UK is the crime centre of the planet with no equal and Australia is a heaven on earth ,I can see you getting flack to suggest otherwise .
First week I moved to a burb in Perth a 17year old kid hung himself in the house opposite us ( no I did know him , so no blame on me) , was informed by police they deal with this all the time , WA has big problems with this

We dont live in the rat race,we are in a town of 50000 people,unfortunately there aint much work around anymore,junkies are taking over town centre,shops are closing down along with mindless vandalism and anti social behaviour,there are more people tagged in this area per head of population than anywhere else in Scotland,like I said I do not hate where I live but I dont want to bring kids up in this area,I couldnt,I lived in Australia for a year about 10 years ago,I always felt then I had to give it a go if given the chance,I maybe back on here in few years saying what a terrible mistake it was,but I would never slag off other peoples dreams and ambitions,

Aye, that made me giggle when I watched the footage last night

Just to balance the debate here's a fine example of British men:
