Is that because your media has been hijacked by Rupert too? Just like ours has been? Do you think? I'm just wondering. I mean you are the country that brought us Meryl Streep and Cher in Silkwood. Surely there are advocates and detractors?
As to soccer, well it's really not a big deal here either, well it was with the world cup, but we are Aussie Rules Football and Rugby fanatics here.
Besides I thought you guys coined the phrase "soccer Mum's"?
haha We also brought you Cher signing on an aircraft carrier. Though I'm almost positive that piece of dental floss she had wound around her wasn't a flight suit.
I love rugby but mums are perennials. Not sure what they have to do with soccer. They're very pretty though.
Good night!

Oh and as far as I can see thumbing, just from being on the board in the touchy feely threads, there seems to be an inordinate amount of Americans who are invading because they think we have an accent and they seem to be quite taken with it!!! Isn't that right cate?
This is true. American women go instantly gooey when they hear an Aussie accent. Its weird. I don't usually really have that effect on women. I wasn't really sure how to deal with it.
It doesn't matter if you're male, female, or confused; black, white, brown, red, green, yellow; gay, lesbian; redneck cop, stoned; ugly; military style, doggy style; fat, rich or poor; vegetarian or cannibal; bum, hippie, virgin; famous or drunk-you're either an asshole or you're not!

Obviously you haven't studied the way of the Dundee.

Oh was she? Bit hard to notice with all the SAILORS!!!
Guess you're not a Desperate Housewives fan then! Coz Lynette Scavo is all soccer mum.
I read the first couple of pages of this and since there wan't any response to it there, Didn't Australia embark on constructing a massive solar engergy station in the middle of the continent a few years ago? It was supposed to be capapble of powering most of Australia before all was said and done. What happened to that? I am fairly certain this was approved and begun.

yeah, guys too! It's quite the phenomonen (?) tired and got RSI sorry! :eek:
It freaks me out too! Like I said, I don't have an accent!! But folks around here seem to think I do. It's most disconcerting!
BUT Please, please, please scott don't go the way of the Dundee!!!
We like you just the way you are, no need for that crap!!

Yeah, I think you're right gue. Not sure what happened really. I'm pretty sure it got going. Just don't think it's become a mainstream energy supply. And we have also been tinkering with wind turbines too. Not that I'm any expert.

Never heard of it. Where did you read this?
In the middle of the continent would be a pretty bad place to put it really. Lots of flat ground and sun for sure, but you'd have to get the electricity to the major population centres, which are all on the coast, mostly the east coast.

What folks? Why don't you have an accent? Where are you? I'm confused.
I found that I had to make a concious effort to tone my accent down when I was in america, otherwise nobody could understand what I was saying. I am a bit Dundee on the inside. . . I grew up in the bush. Not in croc country though. I only wrestled snakes and goannas as a kid.

I thought it was down toward the bottom of the centre scott. Not that I have any real clue, I just thought toward Adelaide, but I could be blowing wind out my ass. Memory's not great!

Steve!! Steve!! Is that you??? :D:D Nah, kidding!! That sounds really cool scott! I meant in a "run off and leave your wife for the younger American woman" sense, don't be wanting to be Dundee. I'm still shitty on Hoges for that! Pathetic I know!! But he's cool enough. Still love Arthur Donger!!
Good on ya bush basher! I spent some time in the bush myself as a teenager. Although probably not what you would call real bush. But state forest here in Victoria, which is where I am btw. In Melbourne. And I have been told on more than one occassion on here by Americans that I must have a "cute Ossie accent" which cracks me up because we don't have the accent the Americans do!! And I do like to tell them so!! :D
We speak just fine and normal as far as I can see!! Although when I was in Europe I did notice how crude and loud some of our vowels are and I also found myself speaking much quieter and slower just to stop from sounding like Kath n Kim!! So no more confusion now? All cleared up?
Fair enough cate. They don't really do it for me either. It's just that song came out with all the sailors in it around the time my ex went and joined up after we'd been together for two years. Him doing basic training and gave me a whole new toy to play with and gave the relationship a few more months longevity. That basic training really does get a guy buff!!
BUT I wouldn't have a problem if a guy was a sailor. Would completely depend on the guy. And not so easily swayed by buffness anymore either!
I'm struggling to recall the scene or the dialogue. Jurrasic Park scares the shit out of me. :eek: But if you mean Sam Neill he's a KIWI!!! :D:D
And cate is exceptionally clever. No panting required:)
And I'm not going there! But I will say that I think I said mostly blonde!
Mostly I'm an extremely clever brunette with an exceptional hairdresser!!
no no no it wasn't sam neill. it was the other guy. whose name escapes me. he's on his way to the generator hut or whatever to find out what ahppened to the sam jackson character i think. he's with elly(laura dern) and says to her they are being hunted and tells her to run. one raptor draws his attention while another moves in from another direction for the kill.
hear my name

Must have had my hands over my eyes for that bit cate!!
Think it was somewhere in SA or VIC. really strange seeing as they've never done it in WA. lots of sun and concentrated population here in Perth.
Oh good DinghyDog, thanks for that!! I was starting to think I'd imagined it or something. I thought maybe around the edge of the desert somewhere. I'll have to have a look on google or something see what else I can find out. It'll drive me mad otherwise.
Really not sure why they haven't done more in terms of solar energy over there in WA. You're right, you guys are in a perfect place for it to work well.

I remember that guy. The big macho hunter guy. Wasn't he south african? I think he was in the novel, but its been a long time since I've read it or seen the movie.
