What if you lived in Australia?

Strewth, mate! That almost calls for a backup rescue Hagglund.

Looks good now after it's refurbishment
On the corner of Malop and Moorabool Streets where Thomas Jewellers was, I reckon that would be a prime spot for a real good up market pub/restaurant.

Felt warmer that 22 this arvo more like an almost coolish 25 or 27

Kevin here. The more I read about Australia the less appealing it gets.

1. A giant continent which is 85% uninhabitable and inhospitable.
2. Almost every wild animal will try to kill you if your not careful.
3. When looking at the night sky northern constellations are upside down.
4. The weather is crazy. The farther north you go the hotter it gets, the farther south you go the cooler it gets(the opposite of what happens in the U.S.)
5. Tourists need a translator because the average "aussie" can't speak normal English
6,7,8,9,10 et al-

Envy of the rest of the normal world Kev

We speak betterer English than you American folk. Also the moon would be upside down to you as well. It could do with some rain though. Had no decent rain in these parts for a long time. I hope we don't have water restrictions but it's looking likely.

Also you forgot to mention the bush fires or wild fires as you call them. The damn things are nasty in Victoria. But they do good as they kill the dangerous animals. Might lose the odd human along the way but that's the price to pay when killing things with fire.

My penis is still bigger but you're right about it being largely inhospitable. Hey, that place looks like Mars except it's not cold.

Perhaps that's why the British sent off some of their jailbirds to Oz. It was sure not to meet the wizard.

3. When looking at the night sky northern constellations are upside down.

But it's still a tempting place for every stargazer. Plenty of areas without light pollution. I once saw a documentary which featured an Australian astronomer who set up a large telescope in the desert, looking for the farthest object in space. If you're not in space like the Hubble telescope, Australia is the place to go.

4. The weather is crazy. The farther north you go the hotter it gets, the farther south you go the cooler it gets(the opposite of what happens in the U.S.)

Well, naturally, as Australia floats on the southern part of the equator. The highest temperatures are reached at the equator and close to it.

Maybe. But their English is the more correct one since it's much closer to the British original.
