    Does it include watersports, like white-water car rafting?
    Do you know how many ppl have died? Is this a funny joke? Would you make a joke about Giffords head being blown off? You are now on my sh1t list.

      Damn, yes. Where the hell are all the soggy Aussie jokes?

      Searches... Oh, yes!

      I was in Brisbane waiting for ages for a bus.

      Then what do you know, two float past at once.
      England and Australia wore black armbands during the 20-20 match in Adelaide in respect of the flooding in Brisbane and Queensland.

      Better safe than sorry.
      I can't believe how rude the Brisbane Tourist Office were when I rang up asking about wine.

      All I said is that I couldn't find a Dry White Australian anywhere, and they gave me a right load of abuse.
      SKY NEWS: Brisbane counts the cost of flood.

      I thought floods were free.
      BBC News: "Brisbane braces for flood surge".

      The lengths the Australians will go to wash the Ashes from their memories
      Chin up Australia.

      No, seriously, chin up Australia.
      Thank you, Sickipedia.

          I had to Google that to see what you were on about.

          You mean that Merkin politician woman who, despite being shot in the head, is alright? That confirms everything I thought about politicians in the good ole US of A.

          Really, WGAF? It's a gun-culture country and shooting one another is what they do over there.

          Edit: forgot the gags.

          BBC News; Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords May Have Severe Brain damage.

          So, back to politics for her then?
          US doctors have confirmed that Gabrielle Giffords can 'respond to simple commands'.

          For an American, that must mean a full recovery.
          One of the victims in the Gabrielle Giffords shooting was a nine-year old girl, who wanted to know how American politics work.

          Well, now she knows.
          BBC NEWS: Shot US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords 'doing well'

          Obviously not or someone wouldn't have tried shooting her.

            I asked this Australian bloke how far away I was from Queensland. He replied, "It's twenty clicks away, mate."

            Things must be bad if they've started speaking dolphin.

              aussielong must have left his sense of humour at Sydney International Airport.

              There's a relief rally on in Australia called "Where the floody hell are ya"

                Dreadful film. There's two and a half hours of my life that I'm never getting back.

                  Phil Spencer has been plugging Australia again.

                  Melbourne: Episode Guide | 4Homes | Channel4.com


                  For £375K you can get a great house and they showed that nurses and doctors there earn on average twice the UK pay too.

                  And IT is on the desparately needed skillset for getting a work permit too.

                  What you all waiting for?
