Nah, can't be racist.Both Yanks and Aussies are envious of us Brits, and feel inferior to us, so they use these lame insults to hide their own insecurities. Also, they're mostly the same ****ing race.
My mate worked in Aus for a year and his workmates just refered to him as "the pommy bastard", never by his name. I'd say that's racist but I don't suppose he cried about it, he just thinks Aussies are ****s.
No, he's very down to earth and friendly, very likeable, goes out of his way to help people, very positive, never has a bad thing to say about anyone.* *Except Aussies.
I nearly fell off the chair laughing at this stuff. I understand anyone loving their country, it's a natural thing. You can't see the same for us? Seriously, few Aussies would want to swap countries, why would we? Most of us live in detached housing. The weather is chalk and cheese. The economies are chalk and cheese. I could go on, but won't. You enjoy living there, I'll stick with here...if it's ok by you?
Don't believe all the negativity you hear about Britain, there are some incredible places to live in and visit here.
Not at cricket though, I remember going from 1987-2005 without an Ashes win. That's been put right of late though
Hopping into him wasn't a great thing to do, it's ugly. But as I wasn't there with your mate, and I presume you were not as well, you only have his word that he wasn't a bastard. Believe in your friend by all means, faith is a wonderful thing. But it's not proof that he wasn't an arsehole. And being emotive is not helping the situation.
No but does that make a difference? Most of you would not want to leave the UK, we don't want to leave here. I must admit though, I'd love to visit the UK some time as we grew up with a parent's memories of the "Old Dart."
I don't want to leave the UK. Why would I? I live in a beautiful area, have my own business, have a good social life and even get to visit a Premiership football match when I want. We may not get 24 hours of sunshine a day but then again if I wanted sun I'd live in Spain, not 12,000 miles away in Oz. If you haven't had a few pints in a good old British pub with your mates before and after sitting in a stand at a Premiership football game you ain't lived mate.
As I said, I fully understand why you wouldn't want to live elsewhere. Your memories of the pub with mates after the game is a personal thing. But suggest that because missed those moments, I haven't lived, is to sell my own loved memories short. I could claim the same about deep sea fishing, but who's to say that you'd enjoy that?
