I'll be flying to the Land of Crooked Teeth for 3 weeks in December to take the kids to see their pommy relatives. (My wife is English)

Any of you Knuckleheads nearby ?

Any shops / gigs I should check out ?

The schedule is going to be very tight (I'm actually going over 2 weeks after my wife & kids), but it'd be good to sink a Pint or 6 with a knucklehead !

I am so sorry to hear that Diz...

When did you find out?...How are you holding up?

Just take it one day at a time...

You'll be alright. ;)

Yeah, she got me a good one.

Was a smooth exotic accent, right up until we got married.

Then it was like "alryte mee girt lush luvverrr, ow 'boot a cuppa cha ??"

I'm less worried about your wife being British, more that she came from Bristol ;)

How did she manage to get into Oz in the first place?

What crime did she commit?

They actually deported her.

Apparently she didn't whinge enough to be called a real Pom. ;)

I might get her retested when we're back - I'm sure they messed up the original test results :D

HeHe ; Luckily she flew the nest as soon as she could get out. She's about Bristolian as Vegemite these days.

There's no way I could fake being a Pom. I will NEVER accept that 2 run defeat in that 2nd test in the 2005 Ashes. I actually got drunk for only the 2nd time in my life that night ( yeah yeah so I dont drink alcohol, wanna fight about it?), on a bottle of wine called Cricket Pitch! Bloody Poms. At least the 5-0 thrashing in 06/07 went some way to easing the pain.

Give em hell Dizzy.

I think we're only whinging so much because the place is full of Aussie's stealing our bar work ;)

Yeah, we're not doing so well with the cricket. I think we must have spent too long thinking about the olympics....

HeHe, I was in England when they won.
Bloody hell, with the way they carried on was like they'd never won anything EVER !
It was unbearable !


Of course, I'm sure none of that applies to you distinguished English knuckleheads !

Thankfully, I don't really follow much sport, I wouldn't be able to cope with the continual heart-break!!!

You know that we only drink that to get rid of the 'taste' of Fosters right? ;)

Foster's United Kingdom web site claims that "Brits drink over 30 pints of the Amber Nectar every second".

You know no one in Australia actually drinks that crap!!!???

It only takes one advert with crocodile dundee and you Poms will buy anything... :D

Presumably nobody in Oz drinks it because they're too busy downing the XXXX? ;)

Actually Crocodile Dundee is held in very high regard over here, he's right up there along with Jason Donovan and Rolf Harris...:D
