Well i have just discovered this update thingy here at TIG so i thought "meh, might as well give it a go". well i joined TIG a couple of months ago, got stuck into the whole bush bashing scene, enjoyed that quite a bit, but being such a true blue aussie (hate using the word patriot, as i relate that word to red necked gun toting americans) i decied to abandon those threads and focus on the australian pages only to find a complete lack of interest. so i started a few threads, and thanks to JessG, Haylez and netdude some of my threads have stayed alive.
I love australia and being australian, typically though everything "aussie" originated in the rural areas as the city folk in this country have the heads so far up their own arses (generally speaking) they wouldn't know australian values if they were bitten on the bum by them.
to any non australians visiting my profile or my updates feel free to ask me to clarify any questions, queries or preconceptions about anything australia - australians welcome to ask as well. i have decided to spread the australian way of life in a similar way to americans promoting their way of life, but without the guns, lies, propaganda and red tape. not to mention if you do not want my australia values i will happily smile and so "no worries mate" instead of the well known america in your face style which i am sure iraq are happy with.
although "hakuna matata" was coined by the lion king movie (it means no worries for the rest of your days, its a problem free - philsophy) we aussies had that down pat decades ago.
