You'll never hear anything louder than an Australian patting themselves on their back.

Take it off, but make sure you have painted on a huge Union flag over your chest and gut. Looks better over typically english milk bottle white complexion.

Then they'll beg you to put it back on.

Bitterness personified.

I take it your previously scathing and self-assured remark about ' Australia has been beating the poms for 20 years and I don't see that changing anytime soon' does not count as self-absorbed then?

You've got 4 years to adjust your attitude young man.

4 years of 'payback'......oh the humanity....

Take it off and replace your patriotism with a Union Jack screensaver (put it on everyones PC when they go to lunch).
