Re: Time for my first moan about Australia

Have you heard Sam Worthington speak?

I know what you mean about us playing baddies, MP, but I must admit I didn't even realise Christian Bale is British until recently, and he's a total badass.

Christian Bale is fab. Empire of the Sun was a wonderful film and he was superb in it, very very English.

I wondered about that but then thought of my brother who couldn't get his lawn mower to start so he picked it up and threw it at a brick wall. Still didn't work but had he had a gun, he'd definitely have shot at it.

lol, i was in rivers the other day, happily telling the employee serving me how hilarious those adverts are, and my daughter joined in by doing an impersonation of it. Said employee was not amused and told me that it is the employees who do the voice overs
