Ssssshhhh! Don't let the truth get in the way of a crap stroy.

My biggest concern is that those Kiwi's will now have an excellent riposte to our cruel jokes about their nonexistent airforce.

Anyone for fush and chups?

Quick invade them!

ARR WE BE INVADING AUSTRALIA...

They are nuts Down Under, totally nuts. If I ever need to fight a war against a country of my choice, it'll be Australia - with that kind of attitutde, it's easy prey.

Idiotic. Totally, completely, 100%ly idiotic.

I reiterate:

We don't have too many potential adversaries tho sky, at least not at the moment!

Although, it could be kinda amusing.... "oh, you guys wanna fight a war? well, we're all on leave, come back in 2 months and we can give you a war then"

Do Aussies interrupt battle for daily five o'clock-tea?

Germans interrupt all action every four years, for three weeks - during football world championship.

Schroeder · 11-18-08, 12:47 PM

You forgot the European championship, Uefa Cup, Champions League....

(Thank god I don't give a damn for football)

Tea? no.

Oh, and don't forget the 0830 breakfast, the 0915 morning smoko, the 1000 morning tea/smoko, the 1130-1300 lunch, the 1400 smoko, the 1500 afternoon tea/smoko, and the 1630 knockoff - to be at the pub for beer by 1700!

Under current workplace rules, smoko, sickies and liquid lunches have all but disappeared, unless your a lawyer or politician!

Nah Baggy I'm a reformed smoker, damn near the hardest thing I ever had to deal with giving up.

Strange but I miss that stuff being across the other side of the world.

Last time that I was back there I was up at my Mum's property at Colo Heights (2 hours drive WNW from Sydney centre), I opended the back door and almost stood on a 1-1.5m long Eastern Brown Snake that had found comfort on our back door outside mat. Thankfully both our dogs (Ali the Dalmation and Zack the Aussie Cattle Dog) were inside at the time. Garden spade did the trick. Dogs got the body and head went in the fire.

Then there is that regime of always checking the inside of your shoes before putting them on just in case something such as a Funnel Web spider has taken a liking to your stinky Blundstones.

Australia, greatest joint on the planet.

Well we will still have more ships at sea on Christmas day than the entire New Zealand Navy has at all, so frankly, bite me.
