Despite what VB, Beer Bellied over opiniated arrogant ozzies would think.
P.S I myself would like something more than F'n sport to watch on "free to air" TV at the weekend.. eg: channel 10 this weekend has AFL ALL FN DAY! (isn't that what bloody 30 channels of more crap AKA foxtel is for?)
Sorry but care factor 0 and i am sick of it being rammed down our throats every 2 minutes. ITS BORING get over it!
Football, aka Soccer is what i care about, and even that is not rammed down our throats in the U.K like AFL is here.
Why? Because there is no need for it.

Do not despair. For those having problems getting an Oz visa or pine for those halcyon days in Oz, here's how to recreate Oz in UK:
- banish all asylum seekers to Isle of Man
- banish all black people to Isle of Wight
- contact Sky to ensure TV only receives sports programmes 24x7
- sit under UV lamp without any goggles, to obtain genuine 'burning retina' effect
- break-into local zoo and steal most venomous snakes/spiders. Sprinkle liberally in house and garden
- remove bricks from house and replace with stiffened cardboard
- if you want to create Tasmania, marry your sister/brother (preferably both)
- only read the Daily Mail/Sun/Express for maximum 'narrow-mindedness' effect
- to recreate the Australian government, switch between Teletubbies and wrestling on another TV
- to recreate the effect of a coldie, kiss the ice-making compartment of your fridge/freezer
- call your closest friends and end all sentences with either 'mate', 'but' or 'youse'
- if an intellectual thought crosses your mind just repeat the letters A F L
- when out driving, hone your Aussie driving skills by reversing randomly (preferably killing somebody, to keep the good ol' statistics up)
- when in a nightclub, and a female (eg human being, sheep etc) is nearby, don't forget to employ that world-renowned Aussie charm with questions like "D'ya wanna root?!"
Time to crack a coldie....

decided to try to recreate the UK in OZ.
- Explode ten nuclear bombs in the outback, creating a nuclear winter, blocking out the sun, making it raining and freezing every day.
- Banish all our criminals to an island on the other side of the world, Britain.
-Lock yourself in a meat freezer at your local butcher to recreate
a typical British summer day.
- Ensure your kids stay at home all day eating junk food, watching TV and playing computer games, instead of being outside playing sport, or if they do play sport, only soccer.
Which results in your national cricket team being constantly thrashed by smaller nations.
-If an intellectual thought crosses your mind repeat the letters
FOOTBALL
- Create a royal family by gathering together an extended family of inbreed Lunatics from Tasmania that sleep with anyone and everyone except the person they are married to.
- When at a nightclub ,with a woman don't forget that British charm with a question like ' fancy a shag' .
Time to down a pint of warm beer

So the only accomplishments that Oz has over Britain are better weather and sports???? Original thinking from an Aussie there then.
If I want hot weather I fly to the Med, on cheap flights.
I and most Brits have a life that does not revolve around sports.
I hate McDonalds and all that yank fast food shit, strange thing is that when I lived in Oz all I saw was Maccas and fat people everywhere.
Warm beer
You forgot the obligatory have a shower more than once a year comment
Ahhh the inbred royals, the very ones you Aussies voted to keep as head of state 5 odd years back.
So apart from being good at sports that are not played in most other countries and some hot weather, what has Australia really achieved?? In what ways has it contributed to the advancement of modern civilization??

Re: Better the devil you know
Well for a start :
Britain has won 46 Nobel prizes in the last 50 years, including
three last year (2003).
Most aussies think you get a nobel prize for riding your bike without a hooter.

and then you yourself started abusing others too Oh yeah and posted exactly the same tripe YOU directed at me some months ago. What are you in this forum for? To offer helpful advice
or to stir things up when the boring OZ forum has no spats. Whats the real problem? I bet its typical of many poor old folk your age, spent the working life in OZ, the UK zoomed ahead and financially with all those years of earning banana currency they cant get back to the UK if they tried. Dont take it out on us thank you.
