Australians are great ... except for 11 of them.
Shane Warne, Michael Slater, Glen McGrath, the Waugh brothers etc. Will you please go home and leave us alone? Please? Omigod, PLEASE ?!!!
being an isolated, provincial american, i've learned all i know about the land down under by watching crocodile dundee.
these are the conclusions i've reached:.
there are roughly 1,000,000 kangaroos in australia.. there are roughly 100,000 aborigines in australia.. there are roughly 10,000 non-aboriginal australians in australia.. of the 10,000, roughly 8,000 are lifeguards or surfers.. of the 2,000 remaining, probably 200 are/were jws.. of those 200, roughly 20 are now ex-jw "apostates".

ok, favorite/most despised cars thread.. i'm a mechanic (undercar) in the states, and american mechanics for the most part really don't like most european cars.
the words saab, renault, and peugot will send most mechanics on an early lunch break that may last into next week or until the car leaves the shop.. a swedish person once joked about skoda cars to me in a chat room.
what do you call a skoda with twin pipes (dual exhaust)?
The new Skodas are supposed to by OK, now that they are made by Germans (VW). But they are having a tough time getting over a huge image problem.
I'm not a Rover fan either. Not many people are, judging by their current financial status. The new Minis look fantastic, though, but of course they are now made by Germans (BMW). Hmmm, I think I cand spot a trend ...
I've got a Peugot 205 turbo diesel that's done 180,000 miles - the engines are bullet proof and typically do 55 to the gallon (has Bush banned them yet?). You're right though Bendrr ... it is a bastard to work on - nowadays I'd rather just pay someone else to suffer.
in military base of karadjordjevo there were 14 conscientious objectors before the escalation of war in march.
twelve of them were nazarenes or jehovah's witnesses and two which did not declare religiously.
they were working on "non-military" tasks but on military premises and for the benefit of the army.
"Stand firm my ass"?
While positive thinking helps, sit ups are better ...
