I couldnt decide whether this should be in the jokes section or here....as it is not Thai related, although Thailand gets one mention....and it is part humour and part truth, this seemed like the best place for it....

it is a bit outdated but still relevant...

enjoy.

Off the top of my head, some attributes of bogans might be: tight jeans, tight t-shirts, cigarettes, loud music, bad haircuts, swearing, not a particularly high income bracket, and a hotted up car.

The WA Bogan...

A bogan must drive a hotted up Torana, preferrably one with fake SLR badges. (A surf drives a ford).

And that's fair farkin dinkum blue...

Aussie culture? That's a conflict of terms isn't it?

Oh wait......have just finished eating a small pot of Pauls strawberry yoghurt and it says on the side that there IS a culture in it called Acidophillus. Bout the only culture to be had down here.

That's "kulcha" mate...

A Pom's perspective.

Things I love and hate about Australia.

Love

1. People speak their mind.

2. No class system, everybody is very down to earth.

3. Cherry Ripes.

4. Kangaroo and crocodile jerky.

5. Morton Bay bugs.

6. Aussie BBQs.

7. Australian made independant movies.

Hate

1. People speak their mind.

2. Tall poppy syndrome.

3. Witchetty grubs.

4. Aussie meat pies (dog-food in soggy pastry).

5. Aussie rules footy (guys in oh-so-tight-shorts and linesman dressed up as British greengrocers).

6. Aussies are the worst losers in the world (don't understand the term sportsmanship ie. the under-arm bowl in cricket, John Howard with a face like a smacked arse when giving out winners medals to the victorious England rugby team at the world cup).

7. Aussie soap-operas (Home and Away, Neighbours etc).

8. Aussie Immigration officials (they're all bastards).

3. Cherry Ripes.

I actually bought back a box of these when I went to see my folks at Christmas.

My Thai missus loves them too.

Am bringing back a bunch of Cherry Ripes for khall64au.

Hi k,

Will be back on the 10th February. I'll drop them off at Nikita's for you.

What is Unaustralian?

Wait for it to load fully, otherwise the sound may get weird.

Ripper MS.....gotta a lot of laughs here too.....he did something similar a few years ago too, I think.

here is the text from the first one. I should say that I dont endorse any of the following text.

You know it makes sense

2003 - 18 November 2003

I love the monarchy and I love rooting. There is nothing more Aussie than rooting and Charles has proven once and for all he is ready to become the Queen of Australia.

And if you don't believe that the royals love Australia, look for cutaways of Prince Harrt, 3rd in line to the Australian throne at the Rugby this weekend and see what jersey he is wearing.

During my tenure with the Fat I have been accused of being negative - mainly by people who wouldn’t know if their arse was on fire even if you bought them some stirrups, a mirror and a rectal thermometer - but the royals and rooting are far from the only things I love.

Being the last Fat I've decided to catalogue the things I love.

I love vol au vents, I love the word truncated. I love catalogues and shifting spanners and décolletage.

I love sleet and cold driving winds biting into the poorly clad flesh of protest marchers.

I love being in the coalition of the willing. I love democracy, and I love thrusting it on unsuspecting victims. Take Iraq.

Please.

We kicked Iraqi arse and now that they're safe and free and clear of any weapons of mass destruction, its time for the UN to face up to its responsibilities.

I love the sound of grey ghosts screaming as I mount the curb in my 4WD’s. I love the way the rich and stupid are no longer excluded from universities.

I love the fact I can’t remember any one who appeared on Big Brother 2 or 3. I love the fact that I don’t know the name of the Leader of the Democrats. I love the fact that next week I won’t remember who won Australian Idol

I love the way justice has been taken out of the courts and onto the airwaves. I love the way the elites are running so scared they’re willing to free Pauline Hanson after the ill-educated plebs on the jury convicted her.

I love truth, and the way the government still uses it occasionally to keep us guessing.

I love the Aussie concept of a fair go and that if you get a happy snap with the PM on an exotic shore you get an enter Australia free card. Instead of heading for Melville Island, point the boat to Hawk’s Nest and bring a camera.

I love the fact that Jodhi Packer put bikinis back on the map and that Charlotte Dawson has moved back to New Zealand. I love watching Alan Jones' editorials in the morning and wondering where he got the idea from.

I love our Medicare system. No really I do.

I love that kids still look up to their country’s leaders as role models. My young niece hid my keys and lied about it the other day. When I challenged her she said it was irrelevant.

I love Phillip Ruddock.

I love closure. I love knowing that all things must pass. Accordingly, you are on your own for a while. Don't stuff up.

You know it makes sense.

I’m Sam Kekovich.

Sam was hard man for the VFL (Aussie Rules now the AFL) club North Melbourne and Collingwood....he played back in the days when it was a blood sport. And was often in trouble for his on and off field indiscretions....his nickname was Slamming Sam....very apt. The Fat BTW is a sporting chat style show on the TV here.

And some more from the big fella....
