| Description |
America still thinks we ride kangaroos - they're not far wrong with Qantas! But we have grown up. We're the teenager to the big brother America who had to go the hard yards while we got the green light like all younger brothers. They left the Commonwealth and became the home of the brave, and sometimes foolhardy. We love them but they need a lesson in what it's like to have ?no dramas mate' and don't we have it good here? We can drink at 18. In America it's 21. Those bastards have guns, we have to wait till 21. If we had guns and could drink at 18 there would be no Australia - just a lawless mob of crazy, aggressive hooligans, with nothing better to do than hurt each other, like the Middle East, but it would be a sport. We already have the Bombers and the Saints. |
