Here's a little cheer from the

while the fairy lights were plugged in.

decorations they believed were chocolate.

*Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling
incidents.

*101 Australians since 1997 have had to have broken parts of plastic
toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.

*18 Australians had serious burns in 1998 trying on a new jumper with a
lit cigarette in their mouth.

*A massive 543 Australians were admitted to casualty in the last two
years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth or eye socket.

*5 Australians were injured last year in accidents involving out of
control scalextric cars.

*3 Australians die each year testing if a 9V battery works on their
tongue.

*142 Australians were injured in 1998 by not removing all the pins from
new shirts.

ROTFLMAO. Absolute cracker there Jak. Thanks.

BTW, you're not having a dig are you??

 

A dig ? Me ?

Done out of sheer respect m8

 

Oh! Err, right. Ok.

 

i can actually imagine a few of the aussies i know doing the watering of the christmas tree thing

 

Be interesting to get Bluerinse's take on this.

 

It's really sad to think that most Aussies have plastic/fake trees.

 

Don't mean to be (even more) controversial, but I received that in an email from a good friend in New Zealand this morning. (I added the flag myself to complete the effect !)

I liked it

 

Should've known it was the f*ç%ing Kiwi's at work.

 

I have to be very careful what I say here or my status as a whinging pom could be adversely affected

Having said that, it is very funny and the Kiwi's get a hard time from the Aussies, so you can't blame them for retaliating now and again

Thanks for the ammo Jak, I will make sure it spreads throughout Australasia
