FAO Of Dermo (General Aus is wank thread)
Hursty changed the title to FAO Of Dermo (General Aus is wank thread) .
Didn’t Sydney have black bush fire smoke in the sky for, like, 5 months or something a while back - my mate over there was saying he couldn’t take his new born out for more than 30 mins at a time.
Moved all that way only to endure more rain.
My heart bleeds!

derm sitting in his kilt, eating haggis, watching practice sessions for the highland games out the back of his house, pissing himself at the australian references
More rain, Australians and great white sharks.
Or winning as I like to call it.
Have to say my time in the Top End was fantastic. Nearly 10 years since I went and i miss it every day. Well paid, great weather, lost some timber, blew the froth off a few and saw a lot of crocodiles.
I miss the prog & banger fueled Wednesday nights at the Bondi Hotel (think it’s the Bondi Beach Road now?) back in 2001. Absolute carnage.
Did enjoy seeing Sasha at Sounds on Sunday in 2004.
And Dixon and Ame in Melbourne a few years ago.

Are we already rowing back and saying Oz isn’t that bad now.
Proper flaming this !
It was good when we were there but had turned to absolute shit since Dermo moved there.
He has single handedly ruined the country and the climate.

Ah, I get it.
Was there in 2003. 3 dingo dollars to the pound, dined like kings.
Gone to shit since

Oh lord is it shit here? I’d better hot foot it back to the biggest shit box joke in the whole of Europe fast then.
Great whites in Sydney eh? Well I never. The smoke was odd , odd that it’s happened once in the 20 years I’ve been here.
The rain comes down a lot harder and quicker and in much shorter time frames. Like a tropical deluge. So what we have in a day or 2 would take over a month of grim, cold, perma pissy rain like that of the UK. And guess what? When it’s raining it’s usually still warm and the gardens have loved it.
Guess what else? You can stick the UK up your holes. A great place to visit, but live? Fuck off. I miss going to the footy and that’s all, the rest can bollox. One month a year is plenty. 6 weeks next year as work has to be done on my empire.
Already got tickets for Leicester and dipper filth sorted. Your ears would shrivel if I told you how much hospitality tickets cost for the latter. Made slightly more palatable getting the Leicester ones free.
Anyway as Si says, I’m in Scotland anyway, living off grid on an unnamed island in the outer Hebrides. Thank god for starlink and solar.
You need to build an ark.
The UK in a nutshell Derm.

Hursty Lol! This is fucking hilarious, 7.5 feet of rain, 3 times the average of London!
That’s fuck all compared to somewhere like Cairns, they get a meter in a day sometimes. It’s about how you deal with it, how much there is is largely irrelevant. What you don’t realise is that unlike the shitty UK with their archaic Victorian drainage systems the diameter of a bog roll, you can stand up in the storm drains here and being costal means it all fucks off into the sea pronto. Even within a few minutes sometimes you would hardly know it had rained. It only goes pearshape where they’ve been fucking with river systems and dams. Most of the floods you see on the TV have been caused by diverting or not diverting river systems and basins. It’s a big political subject here. Plus I live up a hill anyway so don’t really care either way.
Cankles-McJeggings I’d hardly say Ed is a position to cast judgement’s on where people decide to live,
“That roof looks great mate,by the way do want to go on holidays?”

Any theories why Jacinda is resigning mid-term with a historic majority?
Not strictly Aus, but may as well lump the Kiwi’s in with this thread
