I've seen pictures of them.

i must express my shock here guys. All this interstate rivalry what gives? in this thread your all kicking the crap out of each other and in the natonal anthem thread your all united against the world. Do I sense a bit of indecision here?

To quote Lord Byron "He who loves not his country can love nothing"

or have Queensland and Victoria been sold off.

Beejay,

I think I am right in saying that surveys show that around 60% of the population of Britain would emigrate to Australia, if they had the chance; I am one of the many who had the chance, and have never regretted it

And I love my country (Australia).

No problems here at all. We are all Australians united against the foreigners when outside our borders. But when at home we can take the p1ss out on the other staters.

Victoria hasn't been sold and in fact is the jewell of the Commonwealth ( still prefer that term

) however you can buy Queensland if you like.

Only inhabited by cane toads and my inlaws.

Bah!!! Jewel in the Commonwealth indeed!!

Queensland is the last bastion of the Empire!!

But I do kill a toad or two every night and just fished fifty thousand tadpoles out of the fish pond!!!

Beejay1, you have to understand that Aussie Blokes are incapable of expressing any affection whatsoever, so the way it works is the more you love someone, the more poo you pile on...everyone here understands of course!!!

And that is coming from someone who was refused assylum status last October when he was visiting our fair state.

Should have come by boat sailor , you would have had a better change.

Peter, who loves you mate. ( In a Victorian way not your pouffy Queen's way

)

Queensland and Victoria haven't been sold but if you are interested us
Victorians and Queenslanders can sell you a nice big toll bridge.
Offers Invited.
That should prove we's just funning with each other
p.s. just to prove this is all friendly we'll even cut the sandgropers in fer a share!!

No need Bob, I've got a funny shaped waterside shed for sale on E-bay at the moment

and I can do sand real cheap.

well said rocker and i know how you feel. I'd come back tomorrow given half a chance. I reckon that survey would show higher than 60% at present but i think the english lot would probably still find fault and want to come backto UK but thats not such a bad thing. Mind you lots of them now are going to spain and France etc in search of warmer climes but the attitudes remain unchanged eg expecting fish and chips,full english breakfast, and all the locals speaking fluent english in a tiny community hidden away in the Andalucians!

So thats it, I can't take it anymore, this heat is killing me. I've put the place on the Market, sold the stinky cat car and we are going home. I should have listened to what Grandmama said. I can't wait to get back to my origins, back to my birth right.
We are off tomorrow. I went down today to the travel agents and picked up the tickets. I couldn't believe it as I held them in my own hands, bloody marvellous, one way tickets to Bondi!.

**vsquizz** · 31st January 2005, 09:08 AM

Get it??, go back home to Bondi......guys:confused: .. Oh brother......

**Iain** · 31st January 2005, 02:51 PM

Bondi is a West Australian, and has the gaol papers to prove it, he liked boats too

**bitingmidge** · 31st January 2005, 04:32 PM

Which of course goes a long way to explaining why "Brisbane" in this post was substituted for the "Busselton" in the original version.

Verry clever Mr Squizz, but we've got your number now!!
