The original whinging pom....

OK, now its getting funny... i'll go grab a G&T

Hilarious. Now go away little boy. You have no idea.

Me thinks I have touched a raw nerve and an element of truth.... Sorry not to be one of your minions. I'm off to enjoy a beer in my materialistic spa! Excuse me if I don't lower myself to your level of personal abuse...you know what they say about sticks and stones - you will notice my spelling has improved now that my anger has subsided - night night all.... God save the Queen and Australia rules!

You'd like to think you have, but you couldn't be further from the truth. Pray tell, where have I 'abused' you.

Awwwww.. he's gawwwn and i just opened a packet of pretzels with my gin *sigh*

Your approach to fishing comprises all the subtlety of runaway lorry crashing into an orphanage. I can see why you feel so at home.

"Colour"

I'm back...briefly...I forgot to put my swimmers on and in all the confusion my daughter is upstairs with a teenage friend so i gotta fish them out of the laundry

I'm so thick skinned i take that as a compliment... thank you

I dont know what is more of a worry, the thought of you sitting talking to me naked, or you sitting ANYWHERE in your house naked with teenage girls about

Trust me...there all safe - and I'm complete in swimmers and snorkel... just waiting for the wife to get changed. The snorkels for pouring the beer down my gullet.

Well, going against the grain here, but I can see where you are coming from. Things about Aus really get on my tits and I do get super homesick at times but then I've also had some bloody good times here. I hate people slagging off UK too, but I am realistic about the place and its problems - ditto Australia.

For gods sake...

Do you know how stupid you look sitting at a puter in a snorkel i suppose you have the flippers on too do you?.... look i know you want to show us how much of a good time you are having but really, theres no need to dress up to look more convincing

Hilarious! The fact there are radical muslims in the UK is enough to keep you away?? Ever heard of staying to fight your corner? I think you'll find that your beloved France has 6 million muslims, the UK has 1.5m (and I don't believe they are all bad either)... I think the UK is making the best out of a tricky situation. Islamic extremism exists in most western countries, even Sweden!!

Mate, you have got to stop reading some of these papers. Also, since you haven't been in the UK for six years, who are you to comment on current UK affairs? I believe that far from "going to the dogs" like the Mail puts it, the UK is richer, more equalitarian, more competitive, safer, and more dynamic than it has been for a long time. Your negative attitude is very tiring... rather like a spoilt child

And the USA where I live. I don't feel at all scared living in this country as I chose to live in an area that really doesn't get affected by much crime. The same will go for when I move back to the UK.
