Conquer Club

Okay. I'm sick of the whole UK and U.S thing. What happened to all the other countries that have big alliances with the U.S. and U.K?

Yeah, I'm wondering what Brits, Scots, Welshmen, Irish, American, Canadian, German, blah blah blah think of Australia.

When I think of Australia, I think of strange accents, funnel web spiders running rampant across the whole country, little tiny natives, kangaroos, and surfing.

They're a bunch of criminals that Britain's deported

- Neighbours is the junk food of soap operas, trashy but addictive
- Kath & Kim is funny as fook
- Kangaroos
- Seemingly brilliant at most sports they actually give a toss about
- Supposedly good dance music scene, although to me it seems to revolve around hard house. Which is disappointing.
- Populated by some right nutters. Good nutters though
- Seems to be relatively right wing (??), don't hear enough about Aussie politics to know for sure though.
- Home of the worst beer in the world (Fosters & Castlemaine XXXX)

Algy.. You've heard of really, really crap beers. I mean really crap.

Neighbours suck.
Kath & Kim is really funny. I agree with you there.
Kangaroos aren't everywhere, amazingly enough.

Yeah, well what about the funnel web spiders? You know, the ones that charge and attack children for fun, and frequently make their webs on your bed, so that you die from the bite in the night?

Every so often there's a show on TV that shows the funnel web spiders, and since it's tv, they make them out to be practicly an army of spiders that has declared war on all of humanity in Australia, and people have no hope of beating them back, because they're invincible, and dogs smaller than a sheep routinely get caught in the webs and have their insides drained entirely by the massive creatures, that are at LEAST the size of small rats.

That is hilarious, unless of course your being serious, in which case it's kind of sad

I would have to agree.

Anyway, in Queensland, it's the Cane Toads that run amok, dragging people off to their caves to be drained of their vital fluids.

I speak the truth, really!

Haha. Northern Queensland, the land of Cane Toad races.

Most australians I've spoken to are pretty cool.

Hey! Don't knock Toad races, I once won $20 on one

I've never seen any of those. I would have assumed it too be pretty pointless, though, as the toads don't have the intellectual capabilities to actually hop in a straight line (when they're not running amok, remember )

Holy crap! When I went up there I didn't win anything :[ it was pretty mean.

We like Australia except for the most part they are too damn tanned and chilled out

You haven't? Have you been living under a rock your whole Queensland life?

And no, they kinda run amok in circles, hissing at children to pull them in the circle to devour them.

Oh believe me, some of us are not tanned.. We have albino's too!

But seriously, I'm not tanned much.

Pretty much. It's generally far too hot to do anything else (these rocks have Air Con, so you have no reason to move). This year, it was actually cold enough to qualify as 'winter' for a whole 3-4 weeks, rather than the customary 3-4 days. I was quite shocked.

How the hell did he get a Huntsman in his car? They usually don't enter anything that hasn't been sitting there for a few years.

I do agree though, they are scary. Especially when you get the ones 2/3 the size of your hand
