Re: Growing financial crisis in Europe???

Going back, ALL I actually ever said was that calling people ''arrogant'' or ''ignorant'' for having an opinion to which they are entitled was not really fair.

You created this argument for your...

No you don't. You just want to feel superior to them. There's a difference.

Re: Growing financial crisis in Europe???

Good to know you take the view that people who dislike a country deserve the labels ''arrogant'' and ''ignorant''.

Good to know you agree that those who don't love Australia should just bugger...

There you go again. You are clearly mature in age but sadly not so in attitude.

Deliberately goading people is not the act of someone with the intelligence and experience you try to impress...

Interesting that I've had karma congratulating me on my post to you just now so not as daft as you are trying to say.

Re: Am I a Citizen of the UK?

Yeah - they changed the rules in the early 80's. After that being born in the UK wasn't sufficient on its own to make you a British citizen. You now have to have a British parent and your father...

Only if they've never been there.

If you have seen a place with your own eyes - especially if you have lived there - I do not think there is anything arrogant or ignorant about liking or disliking...

Re: Learning Australian Accent

I find the Australian accent mainly consists of sounding slightly nasal, ending sentences on an 'up' (as if it were a question rather than a statement) and talking with a slow drawl with elongated...

Re: Learning Australian Accent

Why would you actually want to speak with an Australian accent? I mean, it's okay I guess as far as accents go but why would you actively wish to speak that way? There's nothing...

Re: How much difference does sun REALLY make to you?

It is likely even more spectacular in parts of Australia cos you can obviously get further from urban areas more easily.

I was simply saying that in country areas of the UK, on a clear night, it...

Only in the country - and the night sky is great in the country in the UK too. My parents live in a rural area of the UK and the night sky there is spectacular.

Re: How much difference does sun REALLY make to you?

I'm sorry but fairly recent news articles continue to refer to the existence of a drought in Australia. There certainly isn't much rain in Melbourne.

Re: How much difference does sun REALLY make to you?

Mmm, I already admitted that UK summers can be duds - so not sure what you've added there, really...and who was saying it wasn't documented?

The fact that a recent two have been duds doesn't make...

I have to say the sun being out (or not) doesn't make a jot of difference to me either.

Re: Why are some areas so popular

Really? My experience is that everybody in the UK is convinced that it doesn't rain/get cold in Australia at all.
