I work with an Aussie.  He talks too much.

He says strange things like "G-day" and "Right, right, right."

When hes angry, he says "bugger."

Its funny.

I laugh.

Koala Bears are not cuddly.

Aparently there's a company that provides that service at the SCG...a couple of likely ladies to run to the bar for you all day....

Suppose it makes it easier to make beer snakes :D

Queen hits 738 in backyard cricket match

Newcastle, February: A backyard cricket game turned into a beer-fuelled slog-a-thon when the Queen smashed a massive 738 runs in a marathon 19 hour innings that neighbours described as "bloody noisy".

The Queen took to the crease shortly after her 4th beer at 8am, and batted through until 3am the following morning showing form that onlookers likened to "a pissed Bradman". The backyard, littered with empty VB cans, came into it's own midway through the afternoon with the introduction of the "Hit a can, Skull a can" rule. But the extra alcohol did not dent the Queen's concentration, says Johnno: "The more she drank the straighter she played. The beer just made her better."
Johnno, who had smoked cones in the afternoon drinks break, admitted to not helping the cause by bowling 47 wides in a single over.

The match, extended into the night by backyard floodlights, finally ended in controversial circumstances when Johnno, unable to locate the ball, bowled the sack from a wine cask and took out middle stump. David Boon described the innings as "****ing tops".

The average temperature in Darwin is 65°C, with humidity usually around
190%. This creates an ideal climate for beer consumption. The Guinness Book
of Records makes a special mention of Darwin because it is a place where beer
consumption approaches super-human levels. The people of Darwin drink a
massive 194.6 litres of beer per person annually, and that includes women
and children. That is a shitload. In fact it is illegal in Darwin to drink
less than a six-pack a day.


LOL

I recently saw in item on the Asian Wall Street Journal report that Australia has the first brothel to make an IPO on a stock exchange. Probably something to do with the whole place being upside down.

Sadly the stats on beer consumed are out of date,at last count it was down to 150L for each man woman and child,a sad day for Australia indeed.
 When i lived up there,the older residents told stories of the old days,how you measured how far it was to places by how many beers were consumed,Darwin to Katherine was a whole case ;)

was in sidney before and during the olympics there. wound up doing "a little" drinking with our aussie counterparts. all i learned about the aussie language is they have no way of saying "no thanks" when you get asked "ready for more beer?". thats a great place. great people great place someday ill live there if i can swing it.

Yeah, there's a quality about Aussies that makes them likeable. Can't put my finger on it, but most of em have it.
