    Personally I think MeMock made the whole thing up and has been called on his bluff.

    (Sorry!)

    Now fuck off and give me my thread back...although I think it is almost dead already anyway...

    Yeah sorry about that Torbek - it was actually a good thread.

    As for calling my bluff, I am sure most people will agree but it really did happen, i know I was in year 4 but can't remember what year that was, her name really was Miss Archer and she really was in a magazine, I said playboy but it could have been any magazine as I had never seen a magazine like that before!
    News is what someone, somewhere is trying to suppress - everything else is just advertising.

    Great post Torbek. I still remember some teachers who gave me a woodie when I was in the 2nd grade ... I don't understand this crap today. I'd have kept it to myslef and kept tapping the teacher's ass for as long as she kept spreading her legs.

    Why, the "loud, rude and unsophisticated" market, of course.

    Don't you have any of those in Britain/France/Germany/Canada/United States?

    There you go...and we mistakenly figured that market was quite large...
    Naturally, if this truely is the kind of tourists Australia desires, DrA may have been on to something - seems like Australia hasn't really changed that much over the centuries.

    I suggest we keep up the tradition, and send all our riff-raff down under, on a one-way ticket.....
    Any error in tact, fact or spelling is purely due to transmissional errors...

    A walk around Kings Cross in Sydney or Cairns in Queensland would suggest you already are...

    I am sure Australia is a lovely place to visit, it is just very low on my lists of places I'd like to go. So I think I will stay here in LOS, where the TOT at least try to promote their country in a civilized manner.

    Having spent 27 + years as a WESTPAC Sailor and visited Australian ports about a dozen times ... I was always confused when Sailors said they'd rather go to Australia than Hong Kong, Philippines or Thailand ... the only thing unique about Australia is they drive on the wrong side of the road. Otherwise, it's just like being in any given spot in the USA ... just more drunks is all.

    Maybe a thread for the aussies, "What crimes did your forefathers commit to be sent to aussie land"? may help them get over their pyshcological problems if they get it all off their chests and share their crys for help with us, I should add Torbek, that it isn't a crime in some countries of the world to have sex with farm animals, infact I have heard it is quite a common practise, so if any of you aussies feel like getting it off your chest now is the time

    I can trace back three relatives to the convict ships.

    One worked at a haberdashery and stole a bolt of linen. Penalty: 7 years.

    One stole a basket of oranges (quite a luxury in those days). Penalty: 7 years.

    The real villian of the lot was breaking into a warehouse and fekl through the roof, breaking his leg. Penalty: 14 years.


    Gee, DD...you're right! I feel cleansed!

    Lucky b'stards!

    I wish my lot were crims and sent to Aus. Sadly, they were upstanding citizens and remained in the foggy greyness.
