Re: POM, an insult??!!
Quote from Mr Thomason.
This is typical of what I experienced from a lot of (but not all) English people when I lived in England. They're quite happy to take the piss out of other nationalities but whine like hell when people take the piss out of them.
Some poms have the banter and some don't.
"These songs that the Aussie supporters sing talk about we can't get near you because of your smell, your body odour, your bad breath, your buck teeth, your whingeing, have you got some soap," he said.
"The worst you hear from the Barmy Army is that Aussies are sheep shaggers and you all live in a penal colony."

Jeepers - some people have evidently got too much free time on their hands...
On the matter of the advertisment in question - the only reason a glass of Tooheys New is a Poms worst nightmare is because is so f***ing horrible!

Sadly it's these sort of whinging PC idiots who are going to give Poms a bad name... Do they not understand that?

Because we all know that accusations of bestiality and criminality are far less insulting than the word "Pom".
This pathetic little man is the epitome of the very worst kind of Englishman; dull, nit-picking, humourless, bigoted and supremely arrogant, yet afflicted with a deep-rooted insecurity complex which finds its greatest expression in a frenzy of spittle-flecked xenophobia.
