One thing I like about England is NewCastle Ale. I seriously been drinking that for 5 years now almost exclusivly.

I really like a Ale out of SF area called Steel Head, but it's impossible to find.

i was under the impression that most Poms drank Fosters actually (since no one in Oz actually does ;) ) and you see it on things like Coupling all the time ;D

Horse piss. I don't dink lagers for the most part and especially not that piss. Can't really name one thing about OZ I like. Sorry.

Not even our women/beer (and fosters really doesnt count)/incredible sporting prowess/sensible speed limits/crazy ass politicians (think abbot AND costello)/awesome beaches/low pop density/almost nonexistent pollution in WA...that'll do for the moment :D

Dont want you all rushing over here at once do i ;)


I was there at 14. (my parents drug us all over the place as kids:|) All I remeber is 25 hours each way, and singing "god Bless America" in unison with my brothers on plane flight back. :D

how long ago was that?

Alot has changed even in the last ten years ;)

I'm soon to be 34. BTW we have Wyoming and montana, same deal.

unless i'm very much mistaken you cannot be a dual citizen with one being the US, because i know Rupert Murdoch had to give up his Aussie citizenship to take up US citizenship...

i have UK/AUS dual citizenship :D

Me, but other than my superior diction and articulation/writing, you'd not know it from speaking to me, as I've lost my accent.
