Re: Called a Second Class citizen this week

Tell him not to be such a noxious bogan.
Tell him he's lucky to have an english workmate because you raise the tone of the establishment.

Re: 240v ?

The UK plug is perhaps overengineered but it is amazingly robust and Singapore, Hong Kong, and - extraordinarily - Iraq will not change from the UK plug despite the yanks whining at them.

Ignore them and stick with real people.

Re: How Do the Ozzies treat the Brits?

Soccer is getting bigger in Victoria.
Recent migrants from Europe, Asia and Africa play it.

You could also call AFL hoonball or boganball.

Re: How Do the Ozzies treat the Brits?
