Title: Australia or England? Which is better?
Post by: john on September 03, 2013, 05:37:19 PM
Australia or England?  What say you?  I say England, because of all the bogan banana benders we have here on the site.

Seriously what makes each country awesome?

I say ...England: Fish and chips -nobody does it better

New Zealand is supposedly bikers paradise.
Australia is close.

I considered moving to one of those 2 in the late 90's ...

England has lots of drunks too ... in fact its common for people to have a couple beers @ lunch ...

Not much difference.

Australia is a colony set up to house the prisoners and convicts of England.

So Australia is full of convicted people.
England is full of the ones that haven't been caught yet.

Seems both are full of crooks.

Well - I would have to say a definate lack of cold weather makes Aussieland the next best thing to here in NZ compared to England.. although to be fair the wind was at 70kph gusting to over 120kph last night, and its 2 degrees outside... I would gladly be sitting on the Gold coast at the moment with a beer in my hand.  :thumb:

Though ... I wouldn't mind being one of those jetset types ... Couple weeks in NZ riding the landscape and chillin .. Month in Isle of Man visiting with Yama at his watch shop/cafe/pub/goped workshop emporium!! ... Couple weeks over in Scotland trout fishing ... Fly back via Dubai to watch those sand drag 4wd lads go up that big dune ...  :thumb:

Hell .. Even over to the US to ride the dragon and such .. Drop in at the bike cave .. Drop in at .... Ummm ... Wherever John lives ... To light a 'special' paper bag at his door then knock and run  ;) :D .. See a NASCAR race live .. For the sound .. Few other things I've gone blank on...  :icon_rolleyes:

Love holden's styling, love fords barra six cylinder. The holden is much easier to work on though, oil changes on the ford are a nightmare as the filter is jammed up the side of the engine whereas changing the oil in my old holden was a breeze. Swore I'd never buy another ford after doing an oil change on my old one, but look what I've gone and done!  :icon_lol:
