Its the same with the music, no matter how many powderfingers, spiderbaits
or groove terminators, you will always cop the "I come from a land downunder"
jokes .... oh well, at least none of our cultural low points sink as far as WWF wrestling

For the pre-match entertainment, the Welsh had Bryn Terfel, Charlotte Church and Shirley Bassey - all extraordinary singers who put on a friggin' awesome show with rock band Stereophonics. Can't remember who peformed for France...
The Aussies sent John Williamson and Rolf Harris (with wobbleboard).
A carton or two or crownies later it didn't really matter. Australia won 35-12

I have one sacred crownie and four VB left in the fridge from my last visitor here a few months ago. Methinks they'll be gone by the end of the tour. Thankfully I have a trip back to Oz somewhere around September to restock...

Anyway, now we're seriously OT. Umm....okay.....someone said Mick Rogers was out of the tour, but he isn't - there was a short interview with him last night.

But on the flip side, there's Water Rats. I always like Stingers too. Saw a couple of episodes of each of those when I was upin Canada earlier in the year. Was a nice change from all the US tv...

That reminds me of one of the best ways to start an argument with an aussie:
Marmite is vastly superior to Vegemite.

I have to agree with you Raiyn, Australia has exported some excellent crap to the U.S but nowhere near as much mindless fodder you guys have sent our way!
But lucky for both of us that a bad joke or show will never hurt anyone (not physically anyway).I wish I could say the same for U.S foreign policy.
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Cheers Paddo

why are roadies considered big beer drinkers?
Is it coincidental that this thread is next to the Aussie one?
