Phil Spencer has been plugging Australia again.

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?

There's nothing like Australia

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

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"

[RichardCranium]

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.

Would you make a joke about Giffords head being blown off?

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.

aussielong's sh1tlist got a little longer

[RichardCranium]

Do you know how many ppl have died? Is this a funny joke?

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 can't see it at work.

Does it include watersports, like white-water car rafting?

I am going on holiday to Brisbane next month.

I had better pack my wellies.

boat and shark fishing gear

Right now I'm looking at a car floating past my house; I can see fridges, furniture, sofas - there's even been a report of a shark sighted. It was a bull shark and it was spotted in a local suburban street. We do have sharks in the Brisbane River; they have obviously come over the flood barriers and come looking for food.

They could have spent the money on a decent cricket team

[scooterscot]

Do you think that, with the current news coverage re floods etc, the Australian Tourist Board are p*ssing their money away with that TV ad?

I must say I'm very disappointed that there aren't any good 'alternative' versions of it.

Yes Australia is no larger than the Isle of wight. Clearly you've never been to Oz. It's like saying the floods in Berlin would mean travelling to Lisbon is a no no.

[lilelvis2000]

I didn't see anybody surfing down the river yet. anyone?
