One less thing for Poms to whinge about when in Aus.

The Bill is set to come to an end.

Which means Poms who move to Australia won't be able to whinge about Aus screenings being a year behind the UK's any more.

Looks like there's an opening for an expat Pom who hates everything Australian to set up a business offering alternative whinge topics.

Trev will jump at that when his arsehole finally caves in from overuse . . .

When's Neighbours and Home & Away coming to an end? That'll really give 'em sumpent to whinge about. Cool

Why is calling poms "whinging" not xenophobic?

It's called "projection". Their worst fears about themselves are coming out.

Riiight... Of course you've all dealt with many Poms who live in Australia. Rolling Eyes

by eowyn Sat 03 Apr 2010, 10:15

Nope but we deal Aussies who come here and moan like buggery about everything.

by Zat Sat 03 Apr 2010, 10:16

It's called revenge.

Why are you surprised? People who emigrate from here to Australia don't do it because their life has been such a fantastic success, they do it because their life is shyte.

Why don't they go to America then?

by eowyn Sat 03 Apr 2010, 10:40

Because they think Australia is going to be a hot version of how Britain was 50 years ago.

They are trying to improve their lives?

by Shoeshine Sat 03 Apr 2010, 10:40

Because success stories go to America, failures to Australia.

by Zat Sat 03 Apr 2010, 10:41

I see what you did there.

It's a (mostly) warm version of Britain now. You'd be hard pressed to find two more similar countries, no matter what Tourism Australia say (and off the record, they agree by the way).

And hence they are disappointed, I guess.

Well, teasing apart, no they aren't. They feel at home straight away - for exactly that reason. Same reason Aussies feel at home when they come here.

After the feast, comes ... The Bill.

Tragic that they are taking it off.

To be fair though, I reckon we've been whinging a bit less just lately. Maybe we're finally coming to terms with our many inadequacies and starting to respect you properly.

It's a shame Shoeshine didn't come back.
