I wouldn't say Paul Hogan is typical either (as is Red Green for Canada), however I know alot of Canadians and alot of Australians that come close in some of their traits. And there isn't anything wrong with that either.Leave a comment:

Paul Hogan is *NOT* a typical Australian ..
Nor, before it's mentioned, is Steve Irwin ..

Don't worry, I'm immune to Colombian drug jokes... but the consequences are still felt in my country.Originally posted by AirigamiYeh, ptbodale, I agree with Flying High. All you Canadians should be a lot more grateful to the U.S., kind of like Colombia. See, Colombia would be nothing without Americans snorting or smoking their chief exports...Originally posted by Flying High
Flying High, have you ever heard of irony? I knew Norwegians have difficulty with the concept of irony (I understand their is no word for irony in the Norwegian language), but I did not know that it extended to Colombians as well. There was no need to jump down ptbodale's throat like that...Leave a comment:

Yes that is the trouble with typing and not hearing the persons voice. You never know if they are smiling when they are typing or they have a hate on from too much or too little coffee.Leave a comment:

Seriously, though, a typical Aussie is the image that comes to mind when a foreigner thinks of Australia. And I think many of them would think of Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin as 'typical Aussies'. It's not a bad thing. It's just all about perceptions. Just as my perception of a 'typical New Zealander' is a sheep. (Sorry, Kat!)

Hmmmm. I don't remember asking to be taken over!. The American's best friends seem to be "hewers of water, drawers of wood".
Anyway it's a government thing. People dislike governments because of their policies, its not generally the people themselves they hate.
George W has taken a shine to the Aussies (some of my best friends live there too) as he has visited Australia twice now and has had John up to the ranch. GeorgeW has failed to make the short trip to Ottawa and has not invited our P.M. down for a burger. At least George's Dad is a gentleman!Leave a comment:

I have the shovel and raincoat ready! If they had only made the move earlier it wouldn't have been so far to bring our 50 000 sheep home!
