Captain... Posted 9 September 2012 Posted 9 September 2012 No google translate there. As for what you've said, without using google I think There is no need for the abuse.. The rest means: you have shown that you have already lost the argument. Although surprisingly Lisa has used the more formal usted form of the verbs. I think the point is that knowing some Spanish cusses is hardly fitting in and is indicative of the type of people being referred to before.

I know more than some cusses, though much better at speaking it as opposed to reading it I know, isn't she polite?

Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 10 September 2012 Posted 10 September 2012 I was in South Aus the Christmas before last and was quite surprised by how expensive most things are. Main cause is probably because the pound is weaker than it was a few years ago, and the Aus dollar is quite strong. One example - in a large supermarket here, the cheapest loaf of bread is £0.50. The equivalent over there is about £2.00. CDs, DVDs, games all seemed particularly pricey. However drinks seemed about comparable with our prices, and clothes can be gotten for good prices. Also if you're driving - fuel costs are cheaper... But every car has a 5 litre engine so that evens out in the end
MooseBreath Posted 10 September 2012 Posted 10 September 2012 So we all agree Australia is the greatest and the people are amazing? A common held view of Australia is that it is a great country in spite of the locals, not because of them. I didn't really know what a 'bogan' was before I went there. Within a day it had become obvious.
MooseBreath Posted 10 September 2012 Posted 10 September 2012 All over. Was there for a year. Watched a 'fuddy' match in a pub in Melbourne (think it was some kind of final). Bogans everywhere, drunk at 8am. Incredible scenes. By midday it was like a zoo. Then the game started and Jesus Christ, what a dreadul sport.
21st Century Fox Posted 10 September 2012 Posted 10 September 2012 I went to see WCE v Essendon a few years ago, it was brilliant, love AFL. A particular highlight was seeing an eagle fly around the Oval to Jim Morrison's Bird of Prey before kick-off F**king bizarre.

Can't be as good as watching Hawkeye shit on some lads shoulder in the South Stand last season

OzFox Posted 11 September 2012 Posted 11 September 2012 It all depends on what you like about a country i guess. Most people i know who've been to AUS said they were very impressed. To be honest when you go on holiday a country might seem better because you are on holiday there. Sums it up for me. Everything seems great when you're on holiday. It's vastly different living here.
OzFox Posted 11 September 2012 Posted 11 September 2012 Looking at going to Sydney for possibly 3 weeks. Anyone who's been, how much does it cost out there? I've heard eating out and drink especially is rather expensive. I suppose it'd be foolish not to do things like walking the bridge, etc so factor those costs in too. I know it varies with how much you eat and drink, but worst case scenario, whats the most likely youd spend a day whilst not holding back? If you do the Bridge walk, try and do it at dusk.That way you get the benefit of a nice sunset, city lights and you don't fry like a crisp
