Ere By Guum chum,you poms have won the ashes,G'donya,but remember this,we have a team of mostly unknowns at moment,that really haven't played much as a team,so their an unknown quantity even to themselves.Give them another year and let's see who has the ashes again.
Strewth,f***in Poms
Heh heh heh, You'l do mate.
Back when the world was young I did a bit of soldiering and it took me and three mates to Ausie one time.
It was to do with Sukarno taking a look at things he had no business taking a look at.
Twas up in Darwin Pre cyclone.
I remember the place had about four pubs one was I think called The Darwin Hotel.
We arived the day after native Australians could drink legally for the first time must have been around 1964 or thereabouts.
Asked a passing civy directions to any other pub and got told to go to The Spear Chuckers Arms.
We wandered all round Darwin asking for directions much to the amusement of everyone we asked.
Found it eventually, full of very pissed and very stroppy "native Australians"
One a huge woman demanded that one of my mates buy her a drink, and when he said no she wound up and delivered a huge punch just about taking his head off, and breaking his nose.
My other two mate and me couldnt stand for laughing, bloody magic.
Also remember getting taken to a place called Howard Springs for another piss up and a swim, fruit bats in the trees.
Fond memories of my short time in Australia,hope you dont change too much... arseholes that you are.
