that's true - its only recently there has been a lot of the sideline.Funny reading.

Somebody already used a possible name in another thread. The Gloom Room or possibly The Ozbomination

No clones are people who like Australia and who certain doom and gloomers think must have no brain because they do.

Godzone is the Australia section of BE.

NO! Gloomers are. Clones refer to those who have undertaken 'I Love Australia and ALL Things Australian 101, 201 and 301. Gloomers have done postgrad 'Return my critical and analytical cognitive processes' 401 and 501 :D

Hope that helps :)

Hmm...that's another way of looking at it, but some do actually move on from clone stage to "I see the good and bad in Australia and it still is ok for me" 302 or never actually become clones and instead take 'I go in to Australia with an open mind' 102, 202, 312. They then end up taking "I still call Australia home" 313 or else "Get Back..(To Where You Once Belonged)" 314 ;)

I would beg to differ kiwi ,i believe cloners are unhappy and we [gloomers] are the ones saved from a living hell ,i suppose you could liken it to christians and non-believers we are in the minority like christians but we know we are always right ,it is our duty to save cloners from a mindless life of trawling around shopping centres sucking on brownes coffee chill . ;)

Yes we must forgive them for speaking out of hand to Gloomers ,unfortunatly they know no better and deserve our sympathy and help to move on and become a Gloomer. :rolleyes:

You have a point about cloners being unhappy but in denial. Trawling shopping centres sucking on a brownes coffee chill or spending an excessive amount of time drinking lattes at some trendy cafe spot seem to be an Australian national pastime! I even recall a post from some perth girl in uk who whinged about how she couldn't get brownes coffee chill in uk LOL

And by the way: If you ever have any hope of making it here, remember it is vital you do not order a cappacino after 10:30 am Why 10:30? Well prob cos that's when the breakfast menu ends :D Reminds me of that Michael Douglas movie about the guy having a bad day.
