Hi Alfred, JCas... hope you're both having a great weekend. Great autumn weather here in Canberra right now. And still good beach weather in Sydney. Big Mardi Gras parade on there tonight, so I'm holed up in the country. Grin.

yeah those Sydney buggers stole all of our beach weather i reackon.

well even if they didn't there definately up to something...probably a pre-emptive strike for state of origin. (anyone know when thats on?)

I thought they were all the Sydneysiders in residence were poncing around tonight done up in Brokeback Mountain cowboy leather... ooops is this a politically insensitive statement??? I got caught up in the parade last year. It added a certain je ne sais quoi to my street cred.

Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is er WAS the traditional Carnival celebration. Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday when Lent began (it was last week) - when you had a last self indulgent fling at least foodwise before the fast began. Carnivale, of course, means 'farewell to meat'. In Sydney, and in some other places, the feast day has been hijacked.

wow. i didn't know that, sounds like a lot of specific events are involved. ash wednessday, lent etc.

i'm hungry now.

Garden?

asleep?

rarely, at most it takes a brief nap.

maybe its because us aussies are on when the rest of the world is snoozin.

I have just returned to Egland after a week and a half in Australia. A very nice place and a long way removed from the 'soap' impression that the TV gives of Australians.

The Australians I met were helpful, pleasant, friendly and difficult to find fault with. Except for one. And my son is going to marry her next month.

I have just moved (well last Xmas) to Western Australia from New Zealand

I believe Im referred to as a Kwozi?

Loving Australia, but oh lordy I get alot of comments on my accent :wah:

Great to see so many of you on this forum

Brownley

We've got people from all over the world here: Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Spain and of course the US of A.

And since we can only 'read' your words, we won't be able to make fun of your accent :-1 (which would have been fun, no doubt!)

But, like our Pinky and Aussie Pam, you'll probably use vocabulary words that make the rest of us go and :-2 !!

Good old S&G at Fulham, crikey Ive fallen out of that place well too many times to count actually

Now bout our sheila's matey let me tell ya Im living with three stunners over on the east side for a start although truthfully the best ones rarely venture far from home - they dont need too he he he we look after our ladies back home so they have no need to wander off the beaten track so to speak. Even if some of the Aussie filly's here are somewhat challenged in the beauty department they can still drink most UK chicks under the maybellene counter mate!!!! Mind you I think there are some rogue ugly stick possessors here too as there have been quite a few times during my year of being here mingling with your english roses where I thought bloody hell luv two words - EXTREME MAKEOVER and I aint referring to the home renovation series either :wah:

Zinkyusa,

Mate, I have honestly tried to stop saying mate being a temporary Londoner and all but mate I just cant I cant I cant I cant HONESTLY mate I just cant its pretty much built into our genetic make up I reckon (like beer) and besides there have been many times here where I would of loved to of used other words instead of mate when talking to certain people but Im trying to spread the Aussie love as often as I can

Im sure you dont Suzy and no offence caused I hope I think that Jimbo guy brings the devil OzBoy out to play - how dare he Im still new here!!! he he he

Anyways you're right though I have drunk with some sensationally talented lasses who put a lot of my mates to shame although I had a good thing going with a lovely little Geordie lass a while ago but had to give it up I mean it was hard enough understanding her sober but with 6 pints under her belt FORGET IT

Heck I aint Texan. I just try and get a rivalry between the Texans and Aussies going. But I can YEEHAW with the best of them.:rolleyes:

Now thats one rivalry that could start a fun riot he he

If you are looking for any trans continental rivalrys look no further then the one between the Aussies and Kiwis. Our friendly but constant rivalry has been the spark of millions of pub and dinner table debates and is often the birthplace of many jokes and emails. Not sure how or why it started but its great being an Aussie in the thick of it especaally during Rugby season :sneaky:

BRING IT ON

Well I just think it would be a natural for an Aussie and Texas rivalry. The Brits sent all of their "outlaws" to Aus. We Americans sent all of ours after the civil war to Texas.:wah: Just kidding Texans, now put your six shooters away and smile.
