I love the Australian dialect, and I would love to go there some day.
The TV-show Border Security, however, has made it sure that I never will.

Nothing to do in Adelaide? What? So you don't like fine wine or eating out in world class restraunts?... Ok, not the Fringe... Clipsal 500 or the classic rally? You like fast cars? No? How about the film festival? No? How about Womadelaide (world music festival)? No? Tour down under? Not men in spandex, huh?... Geez, you're hard to please. ;PSirDeadly said:
Being a Kiwi, I should hate it by default, though, having lived here for 10 years, its grown on me. Too hot most of the time, too many natural disasters, but generally the people are nice. But OH GOD Australia has a bad relationship with gaming as a whole. We pay up to $110 for a game brand new, despite the AUD and USD being almost dollar for dollar, and our ratings board is bat shit crazy. But, can't complain too much, as at least PS3 games can be imported due to no region coding. Or so I'm told.
You can come down to one our 'True Cinematic Gaming' events (look us up on facebook) if you're free when we're on.SirDeadly said:
OT: I think Australia's a great place to live. Yeah, people complain about our censorship laws and it's an ongoing gag that every creature on this landmass is out to kill you in horrible, horrible ways but at the end of the day; the people are almost always friendly, down here in SA the old rule of 9 degree's of separation becomes 2 degree's, and when your sick of city life, the country's only 15 minutes in any given direction.

Ot: I love our Country but we do have some very necessarily over blown news, Like the hard hitting, no nonsense report into a man who was warning people that there was a speed camera ahead.
Just ask an Aussie about Today tonight or A current affair for a laugh.
I think it's big. Really big. I only realized just how large Australia is a few months ago, it's almost as big as the continental US states!
Other than that I know piss-all about the country other than what I've seen in film (the Edgertons are amazing!), read in books (Walkabout was damn good), and from what my recently-deported Aussie boss told me.
Oh yeah, and that Atkinson guy and that Rudd guy can go fark themselves.

It's a continent. It has people. Cool animals. Great Barrier Reef. I like it. That ends today's brief description of an entire nation for those who care; and those who do actually care have probably figured out that this whole thing has been nothing but boring to read and also boring to write.
Say whatever you want about Rudd, he did after all save us from the recession.AvsJoe said:

But yeah apparently Today Tonight and A Current Affair are our version of Fox News.
Or don't. There will be much ranting.Dr.susse said:
Australia...um...is the home of the best TV show about a group of superpowered teen were-mermaid girls that I know of.
to be honest, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Australia is kangaroos, deserts and big Fuck You spiders with mana bars
and a government full of idiots (videogame related, that is)
and Sidney, and a rather funky accent, aaaand that's all I know =P

Indeed the 4th drop bear war nearly wiped the suckers out unfortunately they bred like crazy and by the 5th war they were back. We lost many great Australians that day including my UncleDaniel_Rosamilia said:Fuck me sideways, I forgot about those.knight steel said:I love Australia and have huge national pride for where i live ^_^. Although we have experienced some heavy natural disasters,but thats nothing compared to the 5 great drop bear wars.
I did an assignment about those, they were brutal.
Apparently they almost went extinct in the 4th War, maybe that would explain the time span between the 4th and 5th.
Although, apparently, if they're domesticated, they make amazing house guards.
Haven't tried myself, a bit too dangerous.
OT: It's nice here, Winter's always a bit quieter, Summer's only good for charcoaling yourself on one of the MANY MANY MANY beaches we have, and our government makes me rage incredibly hard.
. Seriously even after 20 bullets the buggers can still fight, realy the only reason they haven't taken over the world is the fact that they can't swim ^_^.
They DID breed like crazy, but thankfully we've gotten THAT problem under control...knight steel said:Indeed the 4th drop bear war nearly wiped the suckers out unfortunately they bred like crazy and by the 5th war they were back.

I saw one take a sniper bullet to the torso, and it was still standing.
They're tough. but they're not too bright.
Apparently they have a strange fondness for Bundaberg...
And just as well they can't swim, my little island fortress would be nothing but a smouldering wreck if they could.
