Ming Pants Meff Pov Chav .........modern definitions on a postcard please. Yes I guess it does move on - but its also coming full circle.........I am reclaiming "Lunatic", "Asylum" and "Sanitorium" for use only in a positive and serene sense to promote their true meaning instead of the stigmatised view that previous generations have given them. :thumbup::thumbsup::D |

Re: The things that bug me most............
I so agree with all the things that drive you mad about Australia, we certainly could do with Esther Rantzen to get over here and fight for consumer rights!!! I would like to add Optus and Samsung to your list!
I too adore Australia and am extremely happy here, but you are correct it could just do with some small modifications to make it paradise! :thumbsup: |
Re: The things that bug me most............
People who move to Australia and expect it to be the UK People who whinge that things are more expensive than the UK People who whinge that things are slower than the UK People who whinge they pay more tax than they did in the UK People who whinge about the police being stricter than in the UK People who think they are better than Australians, particularly at driving (there are equally as many poor drivers in the UK too you know!) It IS more expensive It is slloooooower You do pay more tax...though you get some back! Police??? I AM better than most Australians:D I AM MOST DEFINATELY a better driver than most Australians......:eek: |

Re: The things that bug me most............
The driving part is absolutely true!!!!!
No one driving will let you in, no one, you could be there trying to get onto a main road, and no one, sorry I meant NO ONE will let you onto the road, even if traffic up ahead is coming to a stop(lights etc) they still keep bloody driving, and then its all backed up, and you still can't get in!!!!!! On a lighter note I do like seeing the different variety of cars they got. |
Re: The things that bug me most............
You must be a beaut ute kinda guy? Go on admit it. Dont disappoint me. How many aerials you gonna have on yours then? :rofl::rofl::rofl:
|
Re: The things that bug me most............
Nah give me a Mustang any day of the week, they do have some interesting cars though, some even have swimming pools in the back...well they looked like swimming pools to me.
p.s: rule of thumb, never drive anywhere unless you have at least 55 aerials attached to your vehicle(unless undercover of darkness in disguise, then your allowed 50) |
