Australia - a beacon of light in a darkened world

[Fitzy]

@myboyblue

Aussies are thick inbred hicks, no arguments there, but to be fair to them, can you imagine having Irish people arrive over seeking refuge from their own failed economy and start preaching to them about economic matters? It’d be hard to keep a straight face as you chewed on you tinny while slapping your wife about and talking trash about the abbos down by the billabong.

Have you ever actualy been to Australia?

You gentle way

@balbec

Historically the multiple of income to house price is in the range 3.5-4. UK is at about 6 at the moment and is in bubble terriroty. But 10?? Fucking hell.

I made v similar point 18 mths ago on the Oz thread. Good friend of mine over there said there was no talking to them in relation to a crash, that the mentality and head in the sand attitude was identical to here.

History just keeps repeating

you and your ilk cost the Irish state billions upon billions of euros, people died in hospitals as there were no funds for operations as a direct result of your actions and your greed, you have some nerve coming on here with this smug know it all attitude considering when push came to shove at home you were clueless- now FOAD

@caoimhaoin

It’s kinda bollix really. That rhetoric was thrown out by FF covering up everything. The fact is if the numbers don’t stack up the numbers don’t stack up. If you borrow and spend more than you can afford it will catch up with you. If that’s done on a grand scale you get recession. Bottom line

i agree with everythin Kev says here, although I admit seeing the smugness wiped off some australians faces isnt a horrible thought, my company is beginning to feel the pinch, lost money for the last few months when before it was profit every month for years, mining has gone from construction to extraction which means less jobs and less money for suppliers. three of our customers are fucked which means we are fucked

Good one mate. At least I didn’t run as fast as my little heroin riddled legs would carry me off to the mines. Don’t worry. Youl find some English friends to have BBQs with when you are deported back to Finglas

@carryharry

@caoimhaoin , how are shite enough old petrol cars like Almera’s & Corrolla’s so fucking expensive over there? Are smaller engine Petrol cars starting to become popular or are big 3-4lt guzzlers still all the rage?

Ya, Aussies are waking up to the crap they’ve been spun by ford/Holden. Toyota 2nd hand hold great value here.

Wait, weren’t you the one here who said the recession would do the Irish people good and that it was good enough for them?

@Fitzy

Have you ever actualy been to Australia?

Yes, and The Simpsons nailed it.

No. I never said it was good enough for them. I said it would do us good though. Out of a bad thing can sometimes come a good thing.

Yep, a huge upsurge in suicides, thats one of the things to come out of it. I suppose thats good if you’re in the undertaker business.

All are doing is showing your ignorance and using sad situations to support an Internet argument.

Nope, it’s showing up the stupidity of your initial argument. It was stupid then, its still stupid now.

Taken from an article in the IT about Corby- Sums Oz up wonderfully-

At its basest, the ongoing preoccupation with Schapelle is rooted in snobbery. She has come to represent a particular breed of Australian, a caricature mocked and mythologised in equal measure: the singleted, tattooed kind; the kind who has a sister called Mercedes who became infamous herself, and ended up posing topless in a men’s magazine. Together, they are crime’s answer to the Kardashians.
