Why Are Aussies So Hated?

ha!

dude no one actually hates australians, english are just jealous of everything they have (i know this has already been said) the aussies hate english back for hating them and then the english hate back for aussies hating them. And then people just forget why they hate each other in the first place. So its just two nations being a bit childish thats all.

i don't understand what we are supposed to be jealous of out there? the fishing is better and i like fishing but i couldn't abide the heat and the flies. people go on about it being 35°+ but i can't stand it when it's that hot and humid and sitting on a beach bores me shitless, the wine is o.k but over sweet/alcoholic for those who like ribena with alcohol, the beer is generally shit (there are some good small breweries) compared to what's available in europe, their attitude to cyclists is far worse than here in the u.k (we could do a lot better) it's a bit of a cultural desert and any talent usually ends up over here where they get appreciated a bit more.
i can understand it being attractive if you like drinking piss lager outside with burt food and getting sunburnt but after a while doesn't it get a bit boring?

I have no desire whatsoever to go to Australia - if I wanted to get an idea of what it was like I'd just go to Earls Court for the day and for all the Aussies on here whining about how great Australia is, what the fuck are you all doing over here then?*

*Yes I'm a bit drunk bit a like a good heated debate! ;-)

if you just went to earl's court you'd get all the worst aussies acting like dickheads in a pub designed for english fucktards with shit weather, expensive real estate and ugly girls (cos it's england). by the way we all moved out of earl's court a decade ago and moved to shepherd's bush or clapham, so you'd probably be hanging out with kiwis or whoever else is too fucking slow to catch on and move out.

i'll give you a fucking hint about why we're here, it's a form of national service. we come over here and pretend it's actually worth fucking staying, purely so scousers, brummies and all the rest of you cunts don't think it's worth emigrating to our homeland. it's to keep english bastards from polluting our cities.

Australia is actually much fucking better than we let on.*

*also drunk and looking for heated debate!

wow, i was really trying to take the piss last night! that's probably the most offensive thing i've written here for aaaaages, even if i was joking!

i was joking, by the way.

Every time I see the title of this thread I think it should be "Why are Aussies so hard?"

Viagra.

Exactly, you lot are spreading out!(don't get me started on the Bush or Clapham)

I've re-read it twice and still can see where you've been offensive. I thought it was a fair assessment of the situation. :-)

I agree - what are you worried about badtmy? Everything is tongue in cheek isn't it?

I know I'm never actually serious, anything said is done with a metaphorical smirk!! Its funny when people like BRM take it seriously though and get wound up! :)

I didn't get wound up, I just called you a fucken sook.

Doesn't sound like the BRM I've met.?!

I've noticed shit loads of aussies in shoreditch recently.

Thats the one! I posted up some totally incorrect info on that in the Bushfire thread. I think I'll go and have a butchers.

If you don't like the heat and flies, understandable. I don't like the cold and the rain but adaptation is a wonderful thing. I'll probably die when I go back but I fucking LOVE 35 degree days. I rarely spent time on a beach. I did ride past one most weekends.

I don't drink wine but I do miss premix bourbon and coke! and Iced coffee. The beer IS shit but the micros are getting very good. The food is better but I hear it's a lot more expensive these days. We get musicians and shit we just get them later and less often. You might have more access to arts and stuff here but it equally means more shit.. I mean how many "I'm so fat I ate my kids" TV shows are people watching in the UK?!?! Fuck me there's some shite out there. It is a supremely beautiful landscape. Green lanes over here are lovely but nothing beats what we have in terms of landscapes. I also love a bbq.. something else that's almost impossible to do here.

I like aspects of the UK and I like aspects of Australia. Until someone invents a country that takes the best of both.. well.. I move around don't I?

Love yuuuz!

yeah i'll prolly cruise down for a gander.

I think some people hate Australians because we can be slated from pillar to post in a thread like this... and genuinely not give a rats arse. I think that annoys people.

Anyway, heres another good reason to hate Aussies - occasionaly we throw up one like this. Have a look at this disgrace (the film, and the subject).

And for the record... the UK is a great place. I agree with the earlier sentiment that any Australian who whines about this and that (in a serious manner) should fuck off home. Gets on my tits.

if anyone's heading down to the footy match at clapham today shoot me a line.

i might ride over for a bit and get a four'n'twenty and drop some coins in the tin.

i wish we could just ignore pauline hanson, let her rot in obscurity. she brings out the absolute worst in australia.

i have realised what it is i don't like about some australians and this goes for all other nationalities (including british ex-pats) and even regional migrants in britain like those from the grim north, wales and scotland.

you are different. you talk funny, stand their with your chest out wearing your homeland on your sleeve, you like to talk about how wonderful it is back/up/down/over there and how shit it is here. if you stopped complaining, whining on about it and just got on with living in the country that you chose to live in instead of seeking refuge with others in themed pubs you might find people accept you for what you are. a person who happens to be from another country.
i get the impression that a lot of migrants relish the confrontation and friction their overt nationalism creates as it reinforces their own sense of identity that they feel they are losing because they are in a different country/region.
at the end of the day i don't give a toss where you are from (especially in london as there is such a mix) just stop going on about it.

i agree about the themed pubs. i wouldn't be caught dead in an "aussie" pub.

people like to be reminded of home, and sometimes hang out with people who come from the same place. there doesn't have to be anything nationalistic about that. most of my friends here are british, but i do have plenty of aussie friends too. i don't seek them out, but equally i don't avoid them.

i do feel a bit hyper-australian living here though. maybe it's because half the time i walk into the pub some british wit hears my accent and decides to have a chat about the 2005 Ashes or the 2004 Rugby World Cup, or have a go at our "lack of culture". we don't always bring it on ourselves.

When i'm here, I miss Ireland, when i'm there, I miss England, it's just the whole grass is greener thing.

However, as Stephen Fry said the grass is actually greener in Ireland, as we're all over here walking on yours =P
