yes !! I have a few of those too, bring some over and sell 'em on e-bay henesse, that should able you to afford a few beers and a bus fare over here now and then. Remember, it's not just about the money

Dude, Tandy should have those, as they're a Radio Shack item. And how many kids do you have? I've got 4, so unfortunately, it's about the money.

1 so far. I won't get in to it really, we all have opinions, I was born in Oz, I love it here, you're American, you're probably just like me, you love the country you grew up in more than where you live now. It's not all about money, henesse is in a totally different situation than either of us, I'm relating this to his plan to come out here, his Dad lives here, surely that's enough reason for him to come check the place out before he settles down.

If I could stay here, I would. I love Australia. It's the government, particularly in NSW, that I don't like. It's really a shame that such a great country is run so terribly. For all we pay in taxes here, we're not getting much back. I'm not going to try to defend US foreign policy, as I certainly don't agree with it. But at least in the US you can see what your tax money goes to, and you've got a better shot at making a comfortable lifestyle for your family. I'll get off my soapbox, as I don't want to be misconstrued as insulting the people of Australia, my adopted home. I just think that the way the government here treats its own is worse than how the US treats it's enemies in some cases.

Farkin.

Come live in Bx. You wont see a temperature above 10 degrees for 3 months unless you're inside in front of the fire.

Guess it could be worse though. BTW, horniest chicks I've ever had the pleasure of came from Canada. From my limited experience, quality is superb over there. I wouldn't be leaving that in a hurry.

Go Saccy! Truth is, they're like that everywhere. The Kiwi girls I met (but didn't sample) had a wholesome goodness about them, but I'm sure they were a coalition of the more than willing. Aussie girls are more beach-going laid back, but just the same. In California, it was hard to find one without "Rubber tits", but they were just as willing as those from anywhere else.

I don't want to talk too much about politics otherwise this thread will be moved to P&R, but Australia has way too much government. Do you really need state government at all let alone ones with 2 houses? Why do we need 12 senators per state? 6 would be enough.

The NSW government is only about as bad as the rest, except they've let infrastructure slide and they're paying for it now, especially the trains.

The weather in Oz is pretty good though - especially Perth. Perfect for cycling all year round.

Well, I rekon Aussie girls are over rated. Cranky, demading and hard to get along with. Or maybe I'm just jaded. Foreign lovelies are much more friendly. Can't wait to try some of those lovely full-cream Kiwi ladies when I go over later this year.

I think im going to visit before moving there.
It'll give me a better sence of how everything is.
My uncle told me its a for behind in technology, but i would
give up on tech for good weather.

$100 for cable? we only pay $25 for basic and if you want the movie channels, playboy and more porn its about $60

Canadian chicks are easy.
im surprised we don't have an AIDS epidemic like south africa

NSW has something of a pregnancy epidemic, at least around these parts. $3k will do that to some girls.



Guana Bar, north island, near Wellington...

did you become single after you brought home your $4000 bike?

I hate hoax warnings, but this one is important.

If a man comes to your front door and says he is conducting a survey
and asks you to show him your ass, DO NOT show him your ass!
This is a scam; he only wants to see your ass.
I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap.

Thanks for that, Berny.

Berny was riding fast to escape the ass inspector.

Did we all watch RVV on SBS yesterday?? Lance on the Steenbeekdries....awesome!

no, didn't see it. That good huh?

I did pick every game in the Super 12's and went from 6th to 3rd in the tipping comp though.

Go Tahs !!

Yeah, I seen it.

Is it just me, those new tops, or is Lance still lookin a little podgey?

Lance....no way....look at the rippage in his legs. White does make you look bulky, though.
