So it has been 2 weeks since I have returned from the UK and Ireland on my 3 week adventure. Now I had always wanted to go the UK and Ireland, partly from the perspective of wanting to follow the family tree lineage and partly because I associate more with the UK and Irish humour etc than the American style. I had also been fortunate enough to meet some lovely Irish people in Brisbane and this

So after reading www.thingsboganslike.com and stumbling across several funny hispter parody sites on www.stumbleupon.com I realised that being a bogan or a hipster isn't really that awesome for many reasons. Since these traps have started to appear in New York, hipsters and boguns all over the world have started to disappear---this can only be a good thing.  The creators say '&

People should first read- http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/full-list-of-stuff-white-people-like/ and http://wheelercentre.com/videos/video/christian-lander/ a satirical look at what white people like, and everything we think we do that makes us unique, but what makes us exactly the same as everyone else. I also recommend girls read that website before they hate me forever.

So over the last week there has been a death from a shark and a crocodile in Australia. The guy who died from the shark attack was an abalone diver and the guy who got killed by a crocodile lived in a Northern remote community. Both areas were renowned for having these predators. It also got me thinking would I avoid doing certain things or going to certain places because of dangers posed? While

Growing up in Australia the only sports I cared for were League and Cricket with a dash of Rugby and (field) Hockey on the side. I believe some Mexicans (Victorians) support a game going by the name of AFL, but I’m not sure. Going to Canada one of things I noticed after landing in Vancouver were these flags spruiking some sort of dolphin creature. I quickly got told that this wasn’t a flying,

Please only read this if you understand sarcasm. Anthony Mundine and Rugby League (see below for boxing) If you’re reading this I am going to take a stab and say that you don’t like ‘The Man’. This is fine. I mean he has hurt so many people over the years, just like Julian Assange…Some people would probably even classify him in the same context as Eddie Maguire, Earl Page College or Sarah Palin

I'm just wondering whether people get sent Christmas Cards from people they don't know? Like that Aussie guy who was sent Thanksgiving emails from a family in America for years. He had the same name as one of their friends. The news story became big when the Aussie decided to email them back, and ask if he could attend their Thanksgiving, knowing full well that he didn't know them...they

This could be a never ending list. Everyone has their different tastes and preferences. I admire different genres and have tried to accommodate varying artists. I have tried to restrict the more commercial/mainstream songs. Thanks to Bernard Zuel, Dom Alessio, Clem Bastow, Barry Divola and Samantha Clode. The ones with an asterisk are Australian.

When Sweden + Sex = Prison When I imagine Sweden, I think of bountiful big bosomed blond beauties in IKEA warehouses. I don’t imagine being locked up in a prison because my condom broke or because a girl didn’t think I was as chivalrous as I should have been. Julian Assange (Australian Wikileaks guy) finds himself in a sticky, legal quagmire…and I’m just going to talk about the sex claims. Some

For those in the know, there has been a column in the Life section of the SMH entitled 'What I know about Women,' written by Men. I thought I would ad to the collection. My Mum, Cathie, has always been a fighter. She is extremely selfless (like my Father) and doesn't have a bad bone in her body. This phrase is used a lot- but I think those that know her would agree. My mother is the kind of

I have been travelling back and forth from home to Brisbane- if there were frequent road points I would be set. I am missing stereosonic right now which is annoying, oh well. I also changed my relationship status on facebook to see if those ads that appear would change...it appears not. I still get hit with these 'young Russian female seeking young Aussie' ads, or the like. I know Aussie hip hop

I got asked quite a bit- how far is Oz from Canada? I also got asked what certain Aussie slang meant.. It takes 14 hours and 45 minutes to get from Vancouver to Brisbane direct. It would take you 11 hrs and 51 minutes to get from Vancouver to Calgary by road, without stopping. It would take you 22 hours and 53 minutes to get from Kelowna to Winnipeg without stopping by road.

If you come to Aus you will no-doubt be killed in some way, shape or form by something poisonous that your Geography teacher didn't even tell you about. I mean there are only 22 million Australian's. I wonder how many there would be if the only animals were chipmunks and squirrels? In all seriousness, I have been home for three weeks and I haven't seen an animal that could even

Yes. So when I arrived back home some things hit me. The weather was warm, everything was insanely green, the amount of wildlife and a lady. A lady who was so large she bumped into me... it felt like an assault, such was her frame.  People are bigger and dress more daggy in Australia (prob because it's warm and people don't care). Now most people know that Australians and
