I'm sure Palo was saying they have nice people in New Zealand...

It's hard to believe that £10 once got you downunder. It was a £1000 ticket last I went. I flew from Belfast to London, then British Airways to Singapore. Then Quantas to Brisbane. Watching out the window as we flew over Australia was amazing. It's a big place.

Yeah, but lots of places get them.

For the sake of balance our figurehead for the National Country/Liberal Party Coalition is not nice people either.

The popular view is that he is a misogynist

...

regardless, who can forget the footage of him going to poll a couple of Federal elections ago straight from pushbike dressed only in speedos..

(did he think he was in a triathalon?) ['Speedos' are like jockettes = "budgie smuggling bathers"]
I'm straining not to get obscenely political ... sick of the hare clarke two party prefered system. where we are bound a 'Gilbot' government... where were our farm subsidies?... 'buy Australian' is fine when you can find it..
Allied coalitions be damned.

Where i live we don't get earthquakes, (other than those we make

) snor most other extreme weather/temperatures... but where i live's a secret.

Exterminators must make a buttload of money in Australia.

It would be interesting to know what they make

I also want to know what snakecatchers make. Sometimes you see these guys on TV. They hold in their bare hands reptiles with enough venom to kill half of Sydney. I nearly get a heart attack watching. Look!

Never heard of anyone ever getting bitten by a huntsman. You'd have to try really hard for it to happen. Agree with estreeter, they're good for getting rid of flies.

Absolute rippers. Think how many flies and mossies it takes to sustain these chaps.
They do tend to creep up on you though, as greywolf points out.
