Well if I was in the area at the time of the games, I'd

1. sabotage the beer: replace all the carlton draught etc shit with warm beer
2. invite as many English friends, family, friends of friends etc etc, all wearing England football/cricket shirts to basically camp in the pub for the duration.
3. hack into the local supermarket databases to ensure there was absolutely no Milo, Kahlua, Tim Tams, or any other Aussie crap available for hundreds of miles
4. try to rush through legislation in parliament to immediately ban the playing of John Farnham, Savage Garden, Vanessa Amorosi, Skyhooks, Chisel, Midnight Oil, Acca Dacca, INXS etc in public places.
5. set up as special immigration desk at all UK airports for the purpose of ensuring that only Australians who can say "ask" instead of "arks" are allowed in

Basically, yeah.

This reminds me of how previous Australian cricket teams have been treated on ashes tours in England. Make them feel completely at home, get their confidence up with some nice pie throwing by crap county bowlers, whilst England obligingly ensures that it's best players are injured and the batsmen horribly out of form just in time for the first test.

Reverse the scenario and the England squad were treated with contempt by the Aussie public, even to the point of assaulting them, or laughing at them when they suffer appalling career threatening injuries.

Nah, tell the Aussie team to f23k off to the Olympic village and remove all privileges. This is our Olympics.

I'd have thought Zeus, Apollo and other ancient Bubble legends would be putting them up. Must have something to do with the austerity measures.

lol sounds like they have doubled the price to me.

Can still get decent roasts for 3 - 4 pound in many pubs in the UK.

1. Carlton Draught - what an appalling drink. I used to think Fosters was shite til I met the Carlton brews. No wonder it has to be so bloody cold so you can't taste how bad it really is.

3. since when has Kahlua been Aussie??????????????

true, just that I'd never even heard of it til my then girlfriend (now wife of 10 years) insisted on buying some duty free on return from Corfu.
