Good point.Originally posted by wxman View PostDon't joke - this is a SERIOUS situation unfolding right now.
BBC News: typhoon to batter Australian coast.
Never before has the phrase "Tie me kangaroo down, Sport" been more relevant...
It's ******* cold, wet and windy this morning. It's times like this I feel like moving to Australia. Oh wait...
They say the cyclone about to hit Australia could be the worst disaster they have ever seen. Don't they remember losing the ashes last month on home turf?
A huge cyclone is headed for the East coast of Australia, and people are fleeing their homes. If only they had homes to flee from...
BBC News: 'Australia unveils new flood tax'
Bloody hell, don't go giving the government ideas.
As the floods in Australia start to recede, many questions are being asked about how the disaster will affect the Australian economy and will the nation ever truly recover? But I feel that there's a bigger question that needs answering. Is all this water going down the drain clockwise or anti-clockwise?
Just saw an advert on TV saying, 'There's nothing like Australia!'. How about Atlantis?
It was the official national day of Australia on Wednesday so to celebrate it I went swimming.
I was travelling through Australia recently when I stopped to ask for directions. I knew something bad had happened when he told me to go starboard at the next set of traffic lights.
At least Australia has a Lake District now.
BBC NEWS. Australia floods menace Victoria.
And Bruce and Sheila and Robbo and ...
Caught a bus this morning. Last time I go on a fishing holiday in Australia.
When Australia lost the Ashes, Sheila was heard to say "Well, it could be worse, it could be raining". Well Sheila, what could be worse now, snakes swimming through towns?
How ironic that Australia's most famous TV programme is 'Neighbours' when most of the country now doesn't have any. Adds a whole new meaning to "Home and Away" too...
There's a new Geography GCSE exam question. "Mark the map where Australia used to be."
"Visit Australia for sun, sea and great watersports" is what DodgyAgent's travel agent told him. They forgot to tell him he'd also need an oxygen tank and a reinforced wet suit just to go shopping.
Not only do Australia go and lose the Ashes on home soil for the first time in 24 years, but then we spank them at Twenty20 as well. I guess when it rains for them it really pours!
What with petrol prices soaring and the V.A.T. increase, I'm really struggling financially. I'm finding it so hard just to keep my head above water. So I'm moving to Australia...
I never really understood why people described Australia as 'down under'. But it's making sense now.
New TV series from Australia starting next week: Floaty the Dead Kangaroo.
How ironic are those Australia immigration adverts now? I'm sure they're flooded with requests.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
