Things only Australians do.

Change to daylight savings time in different states on different days, instead of all at once nationally.

I'm still P.O.'d about missing a bus to Nowra because of the dodgy time change schedule.

Have an Outback Steakhouse every three blocks and eat a Bloomin' Onion every day.

mmmmmmm! drool

 

[Downunderwonder]

That's one of those things that's native to Australia and is trying to kill you. Only the natives seem to be immune to that stuff. Ingesting it is fatal to all other life forms.

except Kiwis.

 

[Downunderwonder]

I'm pretty sure nobody else takes the puss out of the Kiwi accent.

beats having the whole bang on about it though.

We also wear thongs ... on our feet,

That's what we used to call them too here in Canada when I was a kid. I don't hear that anymore. I guess people use the American term "flip-flops" now.

 

[Bassic Playing]

I thought Foster's was Canadian for beer. Is Tooheys still around?

Sadly, yes. My father always described it as 'like having sex in a canoe: f#@$ing near water'

I think Carlton Draught still has the market share lead for full strength beer but XXXX Gold is the biggest selling beer in Australia and has around 98% of the mid-strength market..... and is also owned by Kirin brewing co.

Bloody Queenslanders...

I think you'll all find that the best mass produced Aussie beer is Two Birds Sunset Ale. And the best beers in general are all found in micro breweries.

Yea, we lost a PM as if he was our car keys aftee big night out... imagine jf some other country just 'misplaced' their leader... there's be conspiracy theories for years.

What's with all the hipster beers you blokes?

Bundy, New or Gold if I'm driving.

Y'all secretly drink VB, don't ya?

Why would I want to keep slamming down Green Demons like a true Aussie a secret?

I confess a past liking for the old Silver Bullets...

My footy team was sponsored by a pub, they supplied a slab or 2 of Reschs for afterward. Got a taste seeing how it was free and all.

Silver Bullets.....when I was just 18 (mid 90s)the local bottlo was selling cases of throwies for $12. Didn't we smash them.

I'd say you dodged a bullet.

 

[Killed_by_Death]

I saw some action in Nowra, but coincidentally with a gal I'd met in Sydney.
I also didn't plan to meet her there, but she was home for the weekend & we just happened to collide on the dance floor again.
I think she took it as a sign from the powers that be that she should oblige me.

 

[Jbassrockboy]

And some of us play both!

Yes, but only some of us ...

When asked a question, it is perfectly acceptable to answer with "yeah naaa"

Aussie TV is odd and interesting, starting with Skippy The Bush Kangaroo. (For my fellow Canucks, this is the Aussie equivalent of The Littlest Hobo.)

A couple of years back I got addicted to "Sea Patrol". You can thank me later.

Have the cheek to export a beer worse than Budweiser around the world as if it was something to brag about, Fosters, the worst beer anywhere.

They export it here, but if someone hands me one I usually cut out the middle-man and tip it straight down the toilet. Anyway, the toilet would never know the difference...

 

[Jools4001]

Yeah, well...Rolf won't be back in Oz for quite a while...and that's even assuming the Aussies would want him!

Rolf Harris charged with sex attacks on victims as young as 12

Around here Silver Bullets refers to Coors Light in cans. It's definitely sex in a canoe. Also referred to as cee minus.
