You Lucky Australian Bastards

[Hardcoreruss]

Just thought I would let all you Australians know that I am incredibly jealous of your way of life.

I have been back off holiday for ten days now after nearly a month in your wonderful country and I feel like topping myself.

If any of you want to exchange lifes I would HAPPILY swap ( 5 bedroom house, crap job and an evil bloody wife included free of charge) I would happily accept a flop house and a pig in exchange.

[pacmania_2001]

I would... but I despise the royal family and whinging poms

Why you don't like the royal family?
I am Russian and I would be happy if Russia would still have Romanov just for the show.

Don't have a pig...how about 2 chickens and a duck?

and you can keep the evil bloody wife...I already have one of those.

They don't do anything useful yet they still cost taxpayers millions of dollars a year.

I've also read a few articles in the newspaper lately that draws into question the legality of the current family's right to the crown.

Thats just two of my many reasons. It's my opinion that the sooner Australia becomes a republic the better.

I am no royalist, but they also bring in millions of dollars a year, how many people come here from the states, japan and all over the world, even oz, hoping for a glimpse of royal pomp and ceremony.

I can see your point that the royal family has no usefull function in Australia, but I don't think that is the case for the UK.

THEY bring in nothing - no one sees them, they ain't performing tricks for an adoring crowd, in fact the only time you ever see her is on TV at Xmas moaning about how hard its been. People turn up to see the enormous houses and all the pomp and ceremony that goes with it.

I don't often agree with the french but they had the right ideaa when it came to these lot.

With no-one in the enourmous houses there would be no pomp and ceremony. Dont get me wrong I am not saying we should keep them, in fact I could not really care either way, but I dont think you are being objective when you say they bring in "nothing".

[pacmania_2001]

My dislike for them is, like Craig said, in relation to the waste of money they are to the Australian public.

Prince Harrys recent visit and also the Queen's last year cost the Australian tax payer in the millions of dollars in security costs alone just so that some royal family member could visit us.

I would much prefer that money be used for a useful purpose like research, education, health or given to a charity.

This is complete and utter bollocks.
What do you want them to do, perform magic tricks at 7pm each night on BBC1?
I'm no royalist but they bring in a shitload of money viua tourism.
D oyou really think they'd be some many Yanks over here was it not for the royal family?

Which is of course spread out evenly throughout the entire south of England!!

Why wouldn't there be any pomp and ceremony without people in the houses ? Keep it as a tourist attraction if it earns so much cash for everyone (although I'm, still waiting for my cheque). The queen doesn't attract tourists, its the sight of all that wealth - the enormous houses, the gold horse-drawn carriages, the vulgar displays of military power, thats what keeps the mouth-breathers gawping.

And if that don't work flog it to the Yanks - they seem to love this kind of crap

Damn whinging pom :P

It's New Zealand that are the sheep fuckers. I thought our stereotype had changed to people who chase around Crocodiles and drink Fosters?

I like magic.

Dunno, to me you're all wankers, whatever your sexual tilt

We'll move the royals into Neverland Ranch...Jacko won't be needing it for awhile.

[thayne]

All I can say is if I went to the UK it sure as shit wouldn't be to see the royals, or whoever they are! I could care less... I'd head straight for a bar, or do you call it a pub there???

I'd rather see Tony Blair than the Queen or Prince Charles or any of the others....

It is extremely hot outside and Australia is the driest continent on this planet. I would rather be in cooler, wetter and greener places.

I’ll be glad to exchange my place with someone in New York City in an apartment where it is at the moment as in frigid, sub-freezing temperatures. London is too dull of a place to live.

Anyway, Prince Charles isn't much good and I don't know about the Queen. I'd rather see Prince William to take over.

I’ll get a ticket at any day and entertain myself in Broadway shows.

This all you can do in London and enjoy the sights and have a look around. A gray, dull place to be there.

New York City!?

[Prof-x]

I got out of london as quick as i could, absolutly rammed full of fking tourists that clog up the a tubes... in london the days are too long, quality of life is lost and prices are stupid.

England is dull and boring and life is too stressful here, education is harder than most countries, cost of living is sky high. All in all a stressfull life, im working on getting to the point where i can move to australia, got friends that have recently moved there and they say its amazing. Cant wait!

[gmatov]

Prof,

I got it on good authority (see above ) it's dry as dust there and hot as hell.

I got it on good authority (see above ) you don't wanna go to New York. It's dangerous as hell there, what with all them pipple with guns.

You don't wanna come here, there ain't no jobs.

I'd like to try a lot of places, but only for a short stay. I'm kinda happy to be here where we have a whole buncha seasons. Hot, cold, dry, rainy, muggy, blah, whatever. Probably the same your place.

Emigrate, fella. Go see the world.

Cheers,

George

6 degrees F tonight, here.
Shit, you might's well stay home, you know, the devil you know, and all that.

The grass is always greener on the other side.

[malcolm grant]

build the buggers a great big palace and they might move over there....with a bit of luck. Just out of interest, seeing as she is also your head of state do you think if you aussies had managed to give England a decent game in the rugby final and managed to beat us would yuor lot have got a mention in the new years honours?
cheers
Malcs

ps
to be quite honest i couldn't give a XXXX

[ChrisX]

There is a report of a plane hijacker in the US wanting to fly to Australia. He must be desperate.

And run straight into Australians working over there.

I'd rather see Tony Blair than the Queen or Prince Charles or any of the others....

Same, at least he got somewhere on his own merit.

Anyway, Prince Charles isn't much good and I don't know about the Queen. I'd rather see Prince William to take over.

Agreed, the two princes (William and Harry) seem much more in touch with modern society.

England is dull and boring and life is too stressful here, education is harder than most countries, cost of living is sky high. All in all a stressfull life, im working on getting to the point where i can move to australia, got friends that have recently moved there and they say its amazing. Cant wait!

Must be a trend going on here at DVDRHelp. I've been contacted by 2 other members enquiring about moving to Australia.

I got it on good authority (see above ) it's dry as dust there and hot as hell.

Depends where you are located. If you are in the lower regions of Australia like Tasmania and Victoria it can get very cold and snows, in contrast Queensland and the Northern Territory are hot but like any tropical climate have alot of rain.

I got it on good authority (see above ) you don't wanna go to New York. It's dangerous as hell there, what with all them pipple with guns.

I thought Chicago (maybe Detroit?) were the crime/murder capitals of the US?

The grass is always greener on the other side.

Indeed. If I had to move somewhere else other than Australia to live it would have to be Canada, Norway or Hawaii.
