starlight7 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That's one of the silliest posts I've seen in a long while. Could say the same about any country if you had a mind to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flag of convenience Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The main thing I could think of would be the banging on about the wonders of Australia when abroad and the whining about life in UK. Inability to hold liquor well is another obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inability to hold liquor well is another obvious. But with the shoe on the other foot there are plenty of Brits banging on about the wonders on the UK and whining about life is Australia and the fact there is no tesco's. Also met plenty of Brits who get pissed up and can't hold their drink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inability to hold liquor well is another obvious. More Brit's by far bemoan UK though. Countless claim they would like a life else where. Brit's form still I believe the largest numbers of over stayers in OZ. Aussies have a name equally to Brits, with those in the know about their poor drinking stamina. Munich was well known by a residents for Aussies poor behaviour during the Beer Fest. No idea if their behaviour has improved but would be interesting to say the least if in reverse.

Perthbum Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That's a bit of a misleading article to be honest, Aussies are like any other people of any country good and bad, thick and intelligent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skani Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I agree most aussies news web sites are more like OK magazine but hey, who am i to moan? You mean, like the Daily Mail? People with a reasonable supply of brain cells use news sites which are nothing like the above. Fortunately there are plenty of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skani Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 iv notice they live in there own little bubble they hardly have any news about what is going on in the world ABC and SBS have channels/stations/programs dedicated to what is going on "in the world". It's become obvious that people who complain about lack of this news are actually not interested in using them. also the tv over here tends to dumb you down That might explain some of the posts on PIO then.

abz123 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Ok so the economy isn't as strong as it has been but the world seems to hate that we rode out the GFC better than anyone else. I don't want this to drag down into politics (as it invariably will) but like it or not, the government intervention at the time kept Australia out of recession.
