Is everyone from Australia?

[Andrew75]

I looked up at the top earlier and I saw that it said woodworking Australia's. So does that mean everyone here is from Australia? Thats really cool! I am from America, Vermont, BTW.

[Daddles]

Well, if you're from Vermont, obviously not every one's from Oz eh?
Welcome cobs - hey boys, we've got another yank to tease!

Let he who enters beware of the Aussie wit. Gird your loins with armour, your mind with a layer of caution and your eyes with scepticism.:)

They can be very cruel Andrew, but you will get to love the miserable buggers....In about ten years.:eek: Me I'm the oly perfect one on the whole forum??????

PS: Do you like pancakes or as you yanks call them, flapjacks????

The U.S. is the country that has the Internation House of Pancakes. Pancakes is perfectly acceptable and widely used in the U.S.

However, we have boots they have trunks, we have bonnets they have hoods, they root for thier team and we wouldn't think of it, they don't know what a fortnight is and we say tomatoes and they say tomatoes.

I've seen moonlight in Vermont.

That was with a RV. It was 6000cc and didn't have a handbrake, the driver used his foot to pedal the handbrake on, oh and it had cruise control.

Andrew 75 just watch out for that guy called ozwinner, the rest are OK.

But you are basically correct, apart from the yanks, poms, canuks, kiwis, and a few from Queensland we are all Aussies.

Oh and a couple from central Europe - sorry guys.

Oh yeah and SE Asia.

These pancakes/flapjacks, are they the thick ones like overgrown piklets or the thin ones that some people call crepes? I like the thin ones better.

I was pointed to this site by CJH in England, it's the tops, altho' UK Workshop and of course FWW are pretty good, nothing else comes close IMHO

[JackoH]

We even have a Tasmanian or two. :) Not to mention the Kiwis! (I said not to mention the Kiwis!!!) :eek:

[DaveInOz]

& your death wish is?????


Come on Cliff, Sir Joh made sure that Queensland was the only part of the world still colored pink in the school kids atlas, about the same time he change the state symbol to the pumpkin scone. :D

FWIW - I was born in Queensland but raised in Melbourne. :rolleyes:

[Cliff Rogers]

... I was born in Queensland but raised in Melbourne. :rolleyes:
Arhh so you actually hate your parents for this but take it out on us poor old Queenslanders. :D

You, you, you, southerers.... you all think you can come up here & kick a dead horse when he's down, well I, I, I, you, you, you, just wait & see, mark my word.

[silentC]

You're walking on very sticky paper there Cliff :D

[Grunt]

Is everyone from Australia?

Well, on a global scale about 1 in 300 are Australian.

[Daddles]

I too lived in Queensland for awhile. Back in the days when it was still called Johreusalem. :eek: The buggers wouldn't stamp my visa to leave the place to move back to Adelaide, so I had to nick a fishing raft and claim refugee status. No problem as it turned out - rubber stamp job. :D Cripes, that was so long ago they still had street signs in English down on the Gold Coast. :p

I still get teary when I think of the way the border guards threw their arms around me and hugged me as I left the state. It was like escaping from behind the iron curtain, only in this case, it was the peanut curtain. :cool:

Are you banana benders annoyed enough yet? ;)

Richard

(to put the above in perspective - I lived in the southern suburbs of Brisbane. In ten months we were locked in by flood waters three times! The job I had was soul destroying. And it was very noticeable that while Joh was busy ignoring Brisbane and making it into a hell hole, the country regions were lovely places to live. There were a couple of places up along the coast I would happily have moved to. :) )

[Peter R]

Oily , greasy or slick?
You knew what I meant, you are just to mean to say so...Of course I meant oily, greasy or slick, andyone could see that.

Leave the poor Queenslanders alone, their politicians are the benchmark of corruption that the rest of the countries pollies base their ambitions on :D

Another pom here (place is crawling with the buggers). I just live in this loony country. I'm sure the Aussie lot wouldn't turn away the odd septic from these forums.
Just beware of the digital drop bears.

Trouble with Tassie is: They may put it back in Port Philip Bay, where it came from. And then N.Z back in Sydney Harbour which, :eek: come to think of it would save the average Kiwi heaps in plane fares!

Not that you need a hand Cliff, but why didn't you enlighten 'em??

Why didn't you tell 'em that we all think Tassie's lovely, but the only thing that stops it floating off into the Southern Ocean, is that the

SOUTHERN STATES SUCK!!

[Grunt]

Why didn't you tell 'em that we all think Tassie's lovely, but the only thing that stops it floating off into the Southern Ocean, is that the

And here I thought is was because Tasmania and the mainland were on the same tectonic plate.

[Daddles]

Oh Grunt. You didn't believe that old furphy did you? They tried to teach us that the first time I failed paleantology. But I was too smart to believe bull like that. As everyone knows, Tassie decided to move south a bit because they were embarrassed by the Queenslanders. That's why the Brits too so many of the early settlers there ... and gave them free room and board.

Okay, enough picking on Queenslanders, lets go hunting Victorians. Pancakes anyone?

Quote, Herald Sun Wednesday 12 January 2005, Melbourne is Australia's most livable city, if I wasn't Premier of NSW I would probably live their.

I have noticed on the Victorian Number plates it states "The place to be".
Driving around Coffs Harbour I often ask, "Well why the hell aren't ya!!!!":) :p

[AlexS]

Years ago, Vic. number plates had the tag "The Garden State". A mate put a piece of tape over Garden & changed it to Police. Promptly got booked. Sort of proved the point.

[Iain]

Mine say it all, Thoroughbred Country

[Daddles]

Ours is called "The Festival State", which is nice except many chose to pervert that to 'Festering State'.

And then there's WA's - "State of Excitement" - yeah, they're always in a flap.

And why is there a penalty for hiding these little ditties? The whole concept of bunging an advertising slogan on the car is a bit ... something. Perhaps I'm just getting old and grumpy. I'm not grumpy am I?

Richard

[HappyHammer]

The best plates in Aus are the Queensland ones with the palm tree, I'd have one of these if they were available in NSW.

HH.

[silentC]

We've got Victorian number plates everywhere here at the moment.

Victoria - On the Move: Well why don't you move your rubbernecking, Sunday driving asre and get out of my way?

Victoria - The Place to Be: Well why the hell don't you go back there then?

They really know how to set themselves up for a bagging down there, don't they?

:D

[Daddles]

And it's not restricted to us. I've got the US plates from a couple of MGs and they both have inane slogans.

[HappyHammer]

Nah, he's a little short fat bloke that is a miner for a living and lives with this good looking young chic and 6 other blokes. :rolleyes: :D

[silentC]

Guaranteed way to make yourself look like a total wanker: get one of those number plates that make a word or phrase. We used to see one around Burwood in Sydney. It was a red Honda Civic with number plate QUP2C. If you are reading this, you are a wanker. :D :D

[HappyHammer]

I used to have one :o , it was WHU 1 which is the initials of my soccer team in London. I took a picture of me, the plate and the car and it was published in a match program.

Pump, pump.....:D

HH.

[silentC]

That's not the kind of thing I mean. You can have your name, or your football team or your car or whatever, that's fine. My old man has his name on his. There's nothing wrong with having MGB 001 or BMW 530 or whatever.

I'm talking about a particular type of person who puts something like QUP2C on their number plate. Go for a drive out to Bankstown and you'll see what I mean. Wankers.

[bitingmidge]

So is this NZ plate OK or is the owner a wenker? ;)

I took the photo, but can't make up my mind.

Cheers,

P

[HappyHammer]

Wanker.

[silentC]

It doesn't even make sense - CI YA - See I Ya. C YA would have made more sense. I reckon wanker, borderline d!ckhead. :D

[bitingmidge]

Deckhid if you don't mind.... I got called that (by a wenker) last week somewhere north of Auckland. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Actually, I once thought about changing my name to NKA-704 so that I could have my name on my number plate. At the time a name change cost $15.00 and a personal plate cost $300 so it was a lot more cost effective to do it that way.

Sold the car before the paperwork got finished. :D

[silentC]

So nice to have you back, BM. How was your venture across the Tasman?

[DaveInOz]

I have a number plate that is my Initials and date of birth (without the year).
It isn't personalised it was just comming up in the normal course of things so it cost about $30 to reserve it so when it was issued I got it!! My Mum and Dad have done the same.

[RETIRED]

I confess that I have personalised plates. WETURN.

[sailingamerican]

ci ya for see you is great. Eat my dust bloke. Here in california we have everything that can fit into 7 spaces. Every state has a state slogan. MO is the show me state. Think where you can go with that one. Some times you can think of a better one but it probably is already in use. Going to spend the rest of the evening in the shead. 7:14 PM CA time.

TRouble is though, everyone would think you were from Qld.
With mine the theory is with the yellow 'V' plates, the police don't book you as they know you have horses and can't afford a fine :D

I did like the NSW plates with the coat of arms that were around a few years ago, and the new Qld plates look like Vic government cars.

I have let the quotes be altered but please don't don't do it any where else as it will destroy the credibility of all concerned.
