Re: Thoughts on life in Australia
Could you please point out the suburban sprawl and malls in the photo below? We don't all live in legoland.

Ah I see - yes, that would (as the OP asked) be directly comparable to the UK.

I do thankfully,but the dominant culture here is unavoidable without throwing the radio/tv/papers out the window and living in a box, Im not entitled to move to the UK either which I'd greatly prefer.

Re: Thoughts on life in Australia
Indeed. but beer, television, attitude towards sport - these are all highly subjective. I'd rather disembowel myself with a paper clip than watch Eastenders, but my wife loves it. I'd rather siphon urine directly from a skunk's cock than drink real ale, but certain people seem to enjoy it. I find the Premiership only marginally more entertaining than piercing myself through the teste with a knitting needle, but some people seem to like it. Oh yea, and that constant sunshine, god what a drag it is.
