Australian...are you?

[spec888]

Hi, just wanting to know how many on here are aussies!!

 

[EmeraldsAndLime]

I am!

What are you doing up so late!?

Edit: Also! Just realised that since you are in Sydney, you are 1 hour ahead! You're up even later than I am.

 

[spec888]

I'm not from Australia but you might want to take a look at this link: ADISC.org - Members List. There are others but those are all with Australia as location.

Another one here! From Adelaide, now living north of London.

Couldn't help but notice in your profile:

Favourite diaper
no good ones in australia

I used to buy from Mediquip and seem to remember the range was reasonable. I think they might be independencesolutions.com.au now, but I'm sure someone else could advise better than I.

actually brisbane, but i don't think that was an option when i registered

I don't mean to stereotype, especially because I've never been there....but Australia just seems like the coolest country in the world. They just seem to be all chill and everything. I can't think of anything bad about Australia.

Besides, anywhere that gives us Lukie has to be pretty good.

australia is awesome, espically the random islands that surround the entire continent, it is definitely a must see place...melbourne is awesome, it has a creat coffee culture and brisbane is like a massive town rather then a city if that makes sense, just google some pictures u'll see

 

[Chillhouse]

I wish I was in Australia. Does that count? I'm a little jealous, winter is just starting here right now and the temp is barely rising above 5 degrees. Meanwhile summer is starting for you lucky dogs.

Ah well. Put another prawn on the barby for me.

World's Biggest Country Town.

1. I assume from the Paul Hogan "Shrimp on the Barbie" TV commercial that was marketed to America to promote tourism to this country.

2. I am at one of the universities here.

I went to an all-boys, private, Catholic school. Most of my exposure to girls throughout my school years were with those from private, all-girls school. I agree with you when you give them a bad wrap. I never liked them.

My experience was they were quick to get into your pants, and even quicker to tell you what a total asshole you are and to gossip about you. Plus they are those really clingy types.

 

[spec888]

they are definitely clingy, i am meeting my ex this afternoon, why i said yes i do not know...wish me luck!! :S

It's a tourism commerical from the 80's marketed for Americans. It was Crocodile Dundee's first taste of international fame. Course, "prawn" was changed to "shrimp" because they were afraid of confusing the Americans.

And yes, they are yum. I have BBQd shrimp stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon. Very yum indeed.

I'm an aussie. Why else would I have Humphrey?

Humphrey Sez: I's so huggable and popular they maded a TV show about me! But it has some person in a big suit, so it's not really me!!

I was a Sesame Street kid through and through!

Also Fireman Sam, Postman Pat and Thomas the Tank Engine!

That's my childhood in a nutshell.

I'd like to dispel the myth, but I didn't try putting prawns on a barbie until I got to the UK. I think I barbecue more often here than I did in Oz, just to spite the poms. It's weird, you can only get BBQ fuel here in the summer months - I have to stockpile it for the winter.

But anyway, try cajun spice mix (buy off the shelf or cayenne pepper+smoked paprika+celery seed+cumin+onion powder+garlic,) mix with oil and a small amount of cornflour, coat prawns liberally and BBQ on skewers. Bloody brilliant.
