I used to work for a company which was taken over by an Australian company.

The Australians had a great outlook on work, which was diametrically opposed to some of the Americans who were also involved in some of the projects.

And, no surprise, we were at least as productive with Australians in charge.

I also went to Melbourne for a meeting, and from what I saw in those 4 days, this was a fine city, with good people.
you see Mik, I post good things here which other countries have and you say nothing

I post good things about the US and you have plenty to say regarding the fact that other countries have the item as well and question me by asking "why did you mention it here, my country has this too?"

Well I guess that your country does not have "really big schools"

humor here too...

Oh that's fine, I've now come to expect you'll only respond (in the negative) when it has to do with the USA.

No problem. 😴

It could be worse, we could have Tony Abbott as PM with Peter Costello the deputy.

I don't have anything to debate about in your post about Australia.

This is a debates forum - are you seriously saying that if I respond to one of your posts I should reply to them all, even if I don't have an opinion?

bad: tony abbot health minister ,peter costello treasurer
whats bad is that neither as yet, has tried to do a who's on first routine, but if howard goes then no prizes for guessing that costello will claim that he is.

bad bad bad : Former education minster Doctor at large, handy sausage with a razor, Dr brendon nelson, for taking away from this generation the free education he enjoyed when he went to uni.

bodgy : best of origin series that always goes to a decider. Am I cynical or does suncorp stadium have some serious voodoo happening.

dodgy : Ceo's and corporate highflyers getting paid world class salaries (in the millions) with super and stock options which always lead to to them orchestrating larger corporate profits, yet the cleverest thing they only ever seem to do is slash departments and close any labour intensive section and generally bleed their service staff dry.They then strut and preen as if to say what a wonderfull asset they are to the country.

ripper: that your two year old is encouraged to call 70 year olds by their first names and that aforementioned septaganarians are not putting on an act but would generally be upset if you were to get overly stuffy and formal.

bonza: That if you were ever to meet up with the prime minister you would be expected by all those you knew, to basically tell him to pull his finger out and stop hogging the limelight by being there for every photo op. If we all wanted to live in septomania and have a presidential style of politics then we'll put up with that but until then he is just a dwarfish owl with an ingratiating wheedling voice and the sooner he realises that the better for all of us.

beaudy: olivia neutron bomb, elle macpherson(boy can she strut),nicole (would'nt joke about it), kylie (madonna's most recent morph), naomi watts( she turned down tom cruise for her mums lamb roast), melissa george (from an angel in summer bay to be the next biggest hottest thing)

couldnt leave home because of it :- rugby league - when US pro footballers want to get an adrenalin rush they watch a bunch of boofheads bashing each other without protective clothing. That spot of roadrage that you might encounter, at worst will be a lot of shouting a couple of horns and a few fingers and head taps, but at the end of the day, no-one is mad enough to run you off the road for it or blow a few holes thru you with a pump action, just because they are having a bad day. The myth the legend thats mostly a reality of the quiet achiever the big aussie bloke who just gets on with it and at the end of the day doesnt need any dramas or accolades and just by looking at him you would'nt know but he could be the guy that just lives around your corner or he could be the guy that's worth a squillion, but you wouldnt really know just by talking to him because he aint gonna hang tickets on himself now is he!

Top stuff/top flight:... couldnt leave without this one our knockabout radio stars like the cagers or martin and but not simulataneously(yet) including malloy and tv legends and dead set idiots like fatty and sterlo and afl's sammy newman or just bert.

I feel the same way.

But you clearly haven't seen the footage of Costello dancing - and freestyle too.

That's OK, surfer-queen. As long as I know that the Coast Guard is one of the 5 branches of the U.S. military, I'm happy. I get the same benefits, retirement pension, etc...you get sand in your thong and all over your shaved balls...😲

In the beginning God created the world. He called Gabriel to him and said, look what I have created. Everything is in balance, I made day and night, land and sea, earth and sky.

Gabriel asked what the small island down at the bottom of the world was.

'That's New Zealand' said God. 'Full of warm, hospitable people who are very good rugby players and very humble people'

Gabriel said, 'Where's the balance in that?'

God said, 'Well, wait till you see the w****rs I put on the island next to them!'

No offence intended

Anyway, South Africans are better at rugby, just not as humble.

There is nothing quite as spectacular as a sandy, shaved scrote.
