I don't have anything useful to post, now that xld and kpuls have posted what I would have said. So I'll make a not-so-useful post, and say that I'd love to visit the land down-under.

Zack - then we are at least two who want to go
Kind regards,

Guys - you should visit ..... why not?
But be warned... Everyone that I know of from the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, etc) that's come for an extended visit have either found it impossible to go home or do go home then arrive back here on the very next plane - they say they can't get stand the cold any more! there's always a price to pay for visiting paradise)Originally Posted by brettdj

Funny thing...
You don't have any idea how many Aussie's move to Canada to get into our mountains. I kid you not, half of the ski lift attendants in Whistler, BC have Aussie accents.

so true Ken. I know a couple of guys who have done that
John, Melb has European weather - ie it can be bleak and cold during an Australian summer.
Aaahhh... but there's an underlying strategy there y'know...Originally Posted by kpuls
See, Aussies have always done really well in the summer Olympics (for a small nation) and we reckon it's not fair that some countries are getting all these other medals in the winter Olympics just because they've got lotsa mountains and snow and ice. So we send lotsa ppl (and support staff) to live in these countries to get the required experience in that environment.
As a consequence we're now starting to get some medals for snow and ice events. Steven Brdbury led the charge for us in 2002 - now, he's not really a fast skater as some are mind you, but he's applied some Aussie enginuity, put his mind to it and showed everyone that it's really very important not to fall over, so, ROTW - watch out for the Aussie charge from now on... http://www.sptimes.com/2002/02/18/ne...hampion_.shtml
P.S. ?Accent? We don't have an accent

ROTFL! John, that's a great read!
I'll be sure to pass on to the Canadian hockey team that the Aussie skaters can stay on their skates...

Great read, great read. Most definitely.

Also, judging by how many Ozzie barmen there are in Londonj (yes, especially in Earls Court), I am amazed there is anyone left over there.Originally Posted by kpuls
