Yeah, for the record I love Australia............just have to give Joe a ribbing for being such a tosser. Shit, I'd live in Australia anyday. :glugglug :glugglug :glugglug

Speaking as someone who has been hipshitdeep in this same crappola (against Canada no less), I'd have to agree.

Bring it on VD Smith! :ak47:

Your source?

I really don't see the point in arguing economics between two modern market first world countries of vastly different size. It's not as if australian companies are any better or worse than american ones or vice-versa.. just fuckloads smaller.. which is a given, you may as well take issue with our small population.

:1orglaugh Take good aim and rock and roll.

Damn.... that was pretty good actually.



:uhoh

And this is where lifestyle comes into it.

You stupid fuckers spend your lives working your arse off, obsessed with making more money than the next bloke, while we kick back in a tropical paradise and enjoy life... now tell me who the suckers are!

:1orglaugh

If you tossers are going to keep slagging off Australia the least you could do is put forward a rational argument base on fact! Or do I need to provide you with some ammunition?

hey it's all good.. theres not a person here who i've argued with I wouldn't like to have a drink with afterwards... It's just you have to defend the country somewhat when it's getting
"collateral damage" from flaming an individual.. I'd love to visit America if I wasn't such a pussy about flying :)

At least the real Dundee went out like a mother fucker.

Paul Hogan is lame.

'Im talking Night Court in the 5th season laaaaaaayyyyym...'

RIP Ansell.

:smokin

Joe, you HONESTLY don't believe that nonsense, do you? I mean seriously.

I know some guys from Australia I have done business with that would completely disagree with you. That's like saying Australians are lazy and complacent.

Well...there are boats. You could row your way here.

Okay, here's one......

Australia has just as many conceited *elitist* snobbish lookin-down-their-nose assholes as any other country. How do I know this? Well, I once wandered into a yahoo chatroom marked "Australia".... and someone asked me where I's from.........I said Canada, and everyone started telling me to get the fuck out like I had airborn herpes or something.

Fuckin Aussie chat bastards! :ak47: :BangBang:

i was born to be a surfer, some day once i'm rich i shall have a house in australia.

Me.

Dude.. It's like that here too... in the city at least.. I've done my time working 12 hour days, doing all nighters earning good $ all while spending my paycheck before the next one :)..
on the north coast though..... :)

Hey, I live here man!

Come and have a look for yourself. You don't think you can really tell what life here is like from phone calls with a few Aussie work-a-holics, do you?

ja.

You know how to swim, don't ya? :glugglug

When you flush your toilets, does the water really swirl around backwards in Australia?






:evil-laug

Maybe Sydney and Melbourne but not Brisbane. :glugglug :stoned

Maybe I've been well and truly Brisbanized but I've spent 6 months in the US and they work harder and longer than we do in my opinion.

hehehe.. thats kinda weird.. aussies and canadians usually mix well given a semi-common heritige and political leanings.

oh and yeah no country has a monopoly on elitist snobs. we have plenty.

Hahaha... you probably walked into a chat room full of teenagers. :1orglaugh

Brisbane is a large country town in the redneck north... I don't believe it' possible to get anything done in the oppressive heat anywas :) I've worked alongside canadians, americans, HK'rs, japanese.. it's all the same in a decent company. If they worked harder it was because their positions were higher up the foodchain and it was part of being a COO or whatever.

Which is what he was looking for. The part he left out was the channel was called #Australian_Boys_Looking_For_Daddies

Fair enough... I may have been appealing to a stereotype there... hehehe... I don't work very hard though and I go overseas for seven weeks every year! :Graucho

Life is good in Brissie.

There was a pedo named labret in that chat as I recall. I tried to engage him in a little entrapment, but he was busy with someone named "bummyboy_blue" at the time.


How'd that work out for you rat?:winkwink:

Pretty damn well.

:) oh don't get me wrong.. I've moved to a place even more laid back than you.. the highest rate of living off the dole and surfing/smoking buds in the country.. but that doesn't mean I'd judge corporate ethic based on my surroundings. ALL Shops shut at 5-5:30pm here.. you can't get a video after 9:30-10pm.. but i've played the ratrace with the best of them in sydney.

Hey, there's some Heineken left in that bottle!

Or is it something else...?

What is this magical place called?

its been awhile since I had Heineken.

Craving one now, more than ever.

Nimbin?

Joe, I hate to say it but that's not a great picture of you. You're a Heineken lover??

Not quite I believe.... Nimbin's inland.

Holy Shit! Mardi Grass isn't too far away!

Check this out!

Who's going?

Drinking Grolsch today! :glugglug

A lot easier on the sphincter!

Nice,.

:smokin

yeah, Grolsch is great with a good bottle of lube....except that damn top...gets in the way

Dude, this is Mardi GRASS... a marijuana festival with joint rolling competitions etc! Check out the link!

Nimbin is the only town in the world with a Hemp embassy!

I know.

im stoned and missed it.

see I changed my post before you replied?

heheh

california purple kush

damn i want a heineken.

and i dont do hemp festivals man.

how would I look in black jeans, and black band shirt around all that color and tie dye?

no way.

hehehehe... no worries!

I'm not sure [Labret] would be into the Kombi Konvoy though... doesn't he hate hippies?!

Fuck Rat, you couldn't even use an Aussie brew for that.



He looks a little old for you btw.

Dont we all?

Statistically, the Tweed/Northern Rivers area of northern NSW... otherwise known as the northcoast.. home to "smoking for the dole" towns like Byron Bay, Mullumbimby and Nimbin... and where the magic mushrooms grow free. Also the home of Richmond clinic where all the acid freaks end up.

outside of that it's still a nice place... especially along the coast.. US dollars.. DSL and the beach.

:glugglug

I kinda like 'em.

They don't damage the environment and not all of them smell THAT bad!

They also grow a LOT of weed in Nimbin!

hehehe...

It's really dry at the moment apparently.. the drought is fucking with the crops.
