Where are you from?

It's OK, I'm over it. Can I get an Aussie smile before you go though? The ad makes them sound so special.

I suddenly feel incapable of smiling atm, all thanks to a certain evil hooligan who stole your green gem :frown:

Aw, how caring are some of us Aussies, wow :smile:

I was only messin' :wink:

. I do know what it's like to be stereotyped on the internet - I'm Scottish :biggrin:

.

"Wow! Are you wearing a kilt? Are you eating a haggis? Can you play the bagpipes??"

*sigh*

i remember back in the old days of chat rooms as a kid i used to say i was from northern ireland and all these american teens would bounce on "KEWL do you know my auntie? shes from ireland"

like they thought the place was the size of a few streets.
dear god... :rolleyes:

hehe i saw that ad yesterday. i was like "LOL". they obviously hired cheesemeister ad consultants inc.

Yeah, don't pay attention to the ads, many of us act nothing like that :smile:

I suppose what you can pay attention to is 'Neighbours', now there's a typical Aussie suburban drama if there ever was one (we're just not as dramatic, sorry :redface:

)

Or like me you can just watch it for the music. Brilliant songs that don't actually exist. I've searched for and wide for "Could'a been the theif, could'a been the leaf" but nothing. I can't even find "Just Give Me One Good Reason whyyy I should go home again"

...gimme one good reason, one good reason, one good reason, oooone good reason gimme one good reason now I'm something something hmm hmm....

...Damn crack.

Or the new one where all of the other beer is thrown out of the planes. I wonder if they're Quantas? "Service with an Aussie smile and we throw out all of the beer that isn't fosters"

There could be Fosters / Quantas crossover episodes.
