Hmmm... so aussies complain about tasteless stupid commercials on tv and in print.

Sounds alot better than if they wrote in and thought they were terrific and they should get even more tasteless and stupid commercials.

8. Virgin Mobile Go Topless

A young woman covers her bare breasts as she talks on the phone. Complaints - 45.

I think the reason for this complaint is obvious.

I think this says an awful lot about aussies' TV addiction.

I never realised anyone actually watched commercials. When I was a kid the commercial break was a sign for someone to go get the kettle going and evryone else to start tidying up the living room.

I believe you misspelled "supercaliwhatever".

Did not.

suiging is lurking, stand by for an aussie bash!

OK. Can we get the Aussie bashing over and done with so we can start on the Kiwis ?

^No point. None of them hold a candle to the poms.

No point - if you don't start off with the words "There were these three sheep ..... " no kiwi will read any further.

suiging is lurking, stand by for an aussie bash!

Oi......"Lurking " ..............I resemble that !!!!!

I thought the Aussies did quite well this week, to just beat a team led by a bloke with one working arm and a broken hand. I believe the next test series will be against the North Korean Blind school. You should be alright as long as the blind Korean's get a few injuries and you win the toss,

" Heads or tails "

" But I can't see or understand Ingrish.....'

" I'll take that as tails, sorry mate you lost "

" Why you standing on my hand you Aussie B$%^&*rd "

" That's the way we play ( to win ) here mate. If you don't like it f%%^ Of%%......We have the one legged Syrian under 12's mine victims side, jacked up to play if you can't.................... gook"

" Oorrrrr OK Mr Ponting, sorry we play. What's it called again ? "

Especially with 3/4 s of our bowling attack on the long term injured list and the replacements all playing in their first test.

(Hang on, maybe that's why we won )

Our next big series is for the Ashes against the combined England/South African side.

Although, I see the S. African, English captain has just spat the dummy, resigned and been replaced by another S. African, English captain.

Your bloke with the corn rings and the big lips was born in Birmingham for G%%^^s sake

A totally unbiased report on the match in question from the Melbourne Age.

Exhilarating performance proves that Test cricket is alive and well.

AND they said Test cricket was dead! Roll over Allen Stanford and all the other unbelievers with a concentration span of 10 minutes. An exhilarating Test match ended in its last few moments in the most stunning circumstances as a battered but unbowed visiting captain was beaten by a scything delivery from an exhausted opponent.

After five days of intense and sporting struggle the match was settled with 10 balls to spare. The last hour was an almost unbearable tale of frustrations, overthrows, dropped catches, bowling changes, field changes, appeals, defiance, courage, endeavour and fine players reaching deep into themselves in search of that last drop of energy. At times the drama was tinged with farce. Supporters could hardly bring themselves to watch. It was a tense, thrilling denouement that transfixed two sporting nations. Never mind that the series had been decided. Far from going though the motions two proud teams exchanged cricketing blows until finally one was forced to yield... Link

And another story from the Sydney Morning Herald.

Chaos reigns, Poms in a mess

LONDON: England's Ashes preparations were thrown into disarray amid reports their captain and coach had quit their posts on Wednesday over an inability to work together.

Six months before England host Australia, confusion reigned as British news organisations reported Kevin Pietersen had stepped down as England skipper and Peter Moores had resigned as coach. An England and Wales Cricket Board source confirmed to Sky Sports News that Pietersen was not prepared to embark on the tour of the West Indies on January 21 under the team's management structure. But the ECB said it had no knowledge of either Pietersen or Moores resigning.

Your bloke with the corn rings and the big lips was born in Birmingham for G%%^^s sake

You mean the bloke who turns up for games drunk and goes fishing instead of to compulsory team meetings? The one who came to Oz as a toddler? Yes, he's out injured too. (and mightent get another game the way he's been playing!)

England's South Africans learn't their cricket and played to 1st class level in S.A., before being drafted to the England side.

Come the summer handbag boy, we'll see we'll see !!!!!

OK. Can we get the Aussie bashing over and done with so we can start on the Kiwis ?

Sounds like a declaration of WAR.

Kiwis aginst SOOKY BUB Ockors, no contest.

Neva see a Kiwi footballer crying on live telly cos they lost a game.

Let the war begin.

Remember woolly jumpers are very popular in OZ

And ny mim told me it was the Kiwis who jumped the woolly friends.

(By the way - Woolies in UK is now tits up in a big way - only in Oz can Woolies prosper)

Not only Woolies, heaps of M and S stores are closing down too.

Less places to buy wallets.......you must be ecstatic.

Don't quite understand your point, but, my wallet still has some cash in it.

England is down the gurgler, interest rates cut again today, the lowest ever! About 1.5%. Not much further to go.

Time to cut your losses and head to Thailand.

Very true...Sage words there OC.

No! The exchange rate is down the gurgler as well.

But then so's the Aussie dollar, so we're all on the same boat - which is up shit creek and the paddles are nowhere to be found

Flying back to Oz this weekend and was somewhat dismayed at what the ticket price quoted came to when converted to AUD.

Then the Mrs dragged 50,000B out of some secret hidey hole she's got and handed it over.

I'll cut the housekeeping when I get back, I'm obviously giving her too much money if she can save on it.

Further evidence that Thai women can't be trusted!

I wouldn't do that mate.

You've got a very rare commodity indeed. A woman that can save money!

Cricket? You can play backhand strokes now...

Ping, ya mean like underarm bowling?

Trust Ockers to change rules to suit.........

Au contraire...

The action was with in the rules but not within the spirit of the game as it is seen by losers.

Same goes for Ockors whinging.

Godzillas were thrashing Falcons and Holdens at Bathurst, answer, change the rukes.

Losers change the rules.

Forgive me if I fail to consider the traveling in circles by machinery manufactured by American owned companies a national competitive pursuit.

I was somewhat amused when a quick Google revealed that Botswana makes more cars than New Zealand though.
