Default Changing the Aussie flag

I've heard talk from people wanting to change the Aussie flag. It seems silly to me changing a perfectly good flag that thousands of diggers have fought and died under in the past. I believe the Union Jack is the best part of the flag, as it acknowledges the great people of Britain and what they have done and still continue to do for this place.

However, If I could make one improvement that would be to get rid of the silly stars and increase the size of the Union Jack. That would make it perfect!

Bringing back "God Save the Queen" as the national anthem would also be nice, but I guess you can't have everything hey.

Personally, I think it's time for Australia to change her flag (hence my signature).

Im partial to a nice bit of roadkill where the meats usually off-the-bone. The only problems with it is that you have to eat it quite rare because if you cook it well-done, you cant tell the difference between a scorched bit of meat and bits of tarmac

I would suggest trying crocodile if you get the chance. It has a chicken texture but tastes alot like fish. It's a bloody ripper, but a bit exxy.

I tried the crocodile soup once, came really fast after I ordered it and asked the waiter for a bowl of crocodile soup and make it snappy.........
