Would you visit Australia

Surely, Australians are the friendliest people on this earth.

After informing Skippy the kangaroo and his/her many acquaintances of the undermentioned

*Australians would find ingenious ways to steal free kangaroo meat
*Irish don’t really have any impulse to buy free kangaroo meat, as you lot might do
*Australia is the world’s biggest open prison
etc etc

They said that they couldn’t wait much longer to meet and greet us.

Was there for a year in 2000. Would love to go back, but wouldnt dream of eating poor Skip!

genericguy · 15-03-2010 02:41PM

i wouldn't.

all the insects in australia are poisonous. all the animals would fcuking kill you. i'm surprised so many australians make it to adulthood tbh.

Schism · 15-03-2010 02:44PM

That is the weirdest way I've seen anyone try to plug another country, kudos!

Visit Australia, see the Great Barrier Reef. **** that, it's the worlds biggest prison

Can you elaborate on what "free kangaroo meat" is and how to steal it if it's free?

Minstrel27 · 15-03-2010 02:44PM

Kangaroo meat is deliscious. Had some in Glasgow a few years back.

Ummm, what the hell are you on about?

Lux23 · 15-03-2010 02:49PM

I would if it wasn't full of Australians.

Ya Big Flamin Gala our very own Daddy Long Legs is the most dangerous of them all and as for Dingo's the Irish Fox would make any of them run a mile.

sbsquarepants · 15-03-2010 02:54PM

Never been, but i did have a kangaroo burger once and a kangaroo steak another time, delicious:D

Sergeant · 15-03-2010 02:54PM

The problem with Australia is that it is full of two of the most contemptible breeds in society:

1) The GAA jersey wearing, Irish pub drinking, tayto crisp eating goon.
2) The average Australian.

I'd rather spend a month in Hades.

g5fd6ow0hseima · 15-03-2010 02:57PM

I person recently told me, to my surprise, that in general, aussies are **** when they're among themselves. He put it this way;

meet an aussie on their own in europe lets say, and they're the nicest people you'll meet, but run into a bunch of them in sydney and they're just plain **** - all this macho culture, built like brick ****houses acting all tough - not exactly friendly.

Its something id expect from South Africans but not from Aussies.

Anyone who's been to Australia able to comment on this?

I'm surprised that the bugs and the animals survive the Australians.:eek:

I am Australian and yes I ****.

landsleaving · 15-03-2010 02:59PM

Being afraid of spiders as I am, and having spent my life haivng people tell me they're harmless, I think a visit to Australia might just tempt the fate of an ironic 'I told you so' death a little too much. what with the death spiders living in your shoes.

Plus it's too hot and everything else wants to kill me as well.

At least it wouldnt be as hot as Oz there!

I'd go there to get a part in Border Security, as a psychotic passenger whose forgotten to declare a banana and has only got €10 on him. I could get my 15 minutes after screaming abuse and accusing them of murdering the Aborigines, before being dragged onto the next plane home.

That's racism now.

They're ABORIGINALS. It's very different I'm assured.

(I think anyway

I'll make a special point of reading up on the finer points, if I ever decide to go for my starring role. If I'd shortened it to the four letter plural version, that would have been racist.:P

Pft they're nothing compared to our bunny rabbits that are currently wiping out all indigenous life in Aus.

FruitLover · 15-03-2010 03:15PM

Never. Too full of a) spiders and b) Australians.

You're thinking of the daddy long-legs spider, not the crane fly known as 'daddy long-legs' in Ireland. The fly isn't poisonous, and even the spider can't harm humans.

Jumpy · 15-03-2010 03:16PM

Plus the "most toxic venom" thing is a myth.

That's how I've always seen Australians. I have no idea why people think they're so nice. I don't think I've ever met an Australian who wasn't rude and obnoxious.

nobby grande · 15-03-2010 03:25PM

Haha - love the people who have never been there saying that its full of rude aussies and dangerous wild life. Nice big and broad sweeping generalisations there.

Yes Australia has these 2 things, it also has some of the most heavenly places on Earth, good people and fantastic weather.

Short answer = its phuqing great, go and expierience it for yourself. People love to stereotype and generalise, thats real easy.

Oh and yes i saw a few rotten big spiders and a few ditry drunken aussies, but i was in town at the weekend and i saw some rotten drunk irish and a load of rats festering around a bin. Wouldnt say that'll stop me going back into town.
