Default World class, worlds best, worlds biggest...

Last night watched a fairly interesting show on Foxtel, ' Young Doctors ', a documentary type thing on several young people training and working as first year Doctors.

The first show was a UK version, turned it on last night and as they do its now the aussie series. Fine.

As it starts the commentator raises his voice to boom level and starts to roll, words to the effect of

" In the WORLDS LUCKIEST COUNTRY with THE WORLDS FINEST MEDICAL SYSTEM, THE WORLDS BEST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, 7 OF THE WORLDS BRIGHTEST STUDENTS are PICKED FROM THE WORLDS FINEST UNIVERSITIES TO WORK in the WORLDS FINEST HOSPITALS TO PROVIDE THE WORLDS FINEST MEDICAL CARE....... "

Now the English version just started ' we follow the lives of 7 young doctors working in Newcastles hospital.

What the heck is the need for this constant trumpet blowing. It makes you cringe. You could have turned on that show and gone thats interesting, good show. But nope you have to listen to some tosser going off sounding like he has a trumpet up his ass

They go on about being 'world class' because they know in most things they aren't.

Couple that with the 'win or it doesn't count' and the infection of american TV models; and you get what you've seen.

And yep, I noticed it my first visit here, 15 years ago.

They do have the worlds biggest mouths and the worlds biggest chip on their shoulders.
Australia is like one of those blokes you get in pubs, ours is Tony the topper, what ever anyone says, he has done it bigger, better, faster.... If you get a cold he has the flu, if you get the sh!ts he gets dengue fever.

This is it. Exactly.

It would just be so much cooler to be a little understated.

If youv'e got it you ain't gotta brag about it.

So it's a British trait too, I've noticed it too....as a Cockney bogan you would recognize it.....! I find Australians a lot less like the Brit man down the pub...

There's bragging dickheads all over the world. I get more pissed off with the people who fall for the bullshit than the bullshiiters themselves cost I can't see why they fall for it

Funniest thing is theyre the ones who sound all knowledable and edumacated and usually know nack all
