Who'd have thought it! This is all news to me! Up until now, I thought all Australians ate shrimp from the "barbie", and rounded up their huge flocks of sheep while riding their kangaroos!

You'll be telling me next that all people from Glasgow like to knife strangers at the drop of a hat, and get drunk every single night!

...wait, that one's true [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Crocodile Dundee tought me everything I know about Australians: they carry big ass knives and don't know what a bidet is.

Dukester · on 10-06-2005 01:36 PM

Mop, stop being so phlegmatic!

Soul_Reaper · on 10-06-2005 01:37 PM

Crocodile Dundee is to Australia what Zangief is to Russia.

God that sarcasm in your tone is so terribly bloody predictably British MoP!!!

No matter how many studies they do to try and disprove it, it's still true that everybody who lives someplace else talks with a funny accent.

Look at MoP. He's all "cheerio! pip pip! bloody hell you wankas. You ought a be stuffed with nails, you ought!"

So Canadians don't have flapping heads and beady eyes?

MoP · on 10-06-2005 03:54 PM

I've seen a few real, live Canadians, and I can safely say they do not have flapping heads and beady eyes.

danr · on 10-06-2005 04:18 PM

has anyone ever seen a british bloke, at a train station, with a bowler hat, umbrella and newspaper?

I have, it was *weird

Sean McBride · on 10-06-2005 04:25 PM

I saw a guy standing at Edinburgh station one time, wearing a really dark red suit and tailcoat, with matching top hat. He had a small pile of 3 matching suitcases, a cane, and a little twirly moustache and beard.

I guess he must have been going to some sort of convention or something, but he looked awesome!

Rick Stirling · on 10-07-2005 01:03 AM

That was me. I was going to a Victorian Serial Killer meeting. The suitcases were full of prostitutes.

Toomas · on 10-07-2005 01:50 AM

The ground is completly shattered!
Who is going to fix it now, huh??

edit: i think we are in a utter need of a reservoir for stereotypical people!!

Xenophobia is a pain in the ass.

Daz · on 10-07-2005 07:48 PM

Funny, cos I always thought it was aboot too. But when I listen carefully to the Canucks around me at work, it actually sounds much closer to 'aboat' to me!

MoP · on 10-07-2005 07:58 PM

Yeah Daz, if I say "a boat", it sounds a lot more Canadian than if I say "a boot"... then it just sounds Geordie [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
