Oh you like to think you do. You might even like to think your Military is feared through out the world. But I ask you. Where is your Cup of Tea? Where is your Monocle? Where are your Scones and Jam. Why, you barely have a lip, let alone a stiff upper one! You'll never amount to anything you know. Mark my words!
This is how it's done!
(Note how we lost the Colony. You deprived us of Tea. That was a low blow. Never mind the French blockade preventing urgent suppliers from Cornwall. Our troops were spitting feathers!)
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?

What? We invented nukes and cheeseburgers, and all you can come up with "we have super powerful lips"?

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

True Communism or the bastardized stuff that's already been toyed with? Oh, and you wouldn't 'rule' it, per se, just enforce the people's will. Geez, learn the proper terminology. And you call yourself an Emperor? C'mon man, Leader, the people's leader; Comrade Garret. Your title would be the same as everyone else's.

ehhhhhhhhhhhh, sorry but thats where you are mistaken. You THINK you invented this one (as it goes with a lot of other things), however, that one was a joint-venture between the states, denmark, the uk and I believe several other nations

Heed this man's wisdom. Considering how badly America got fethed over by the financial crisis, I wouldn't want them in charge.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Stable economy is for wussy boy Australians who don't know how to hold their liquor and tease gators at the same time.
Next thing you'll tell me is tea is better than coffee and we really shouldn't floor it when we drive on the road. Mammas Boys!

We don't have gators, we have crocs, which beat the gak out of your weenie gators. We have Funnel-web spiders too, which can be fatal in less than 15 minutes. Old man, we got stingrays. We got bogan hordes, we got kookaburras, we got snakes, scorpions, and footy fans.

I guess you need to floor it to get anywhere when your cars are so big and heavy, and despite the huge engine size are vastly under powered for the most part
Head over to Germany where they know how to build cars, roads, and have proper speed laws... or are you too afraid of having to go round a corner while drinking your coffee (with the appropraite warning lables on the cup), swilling beer and wrestling various reptiles which cross your path?

If you thought this was a cute and cuddly Australian animal, well, you are only half correct. The male platypi have a hollow spur about 15 milimetres in length on the inside of both hind legs. This in turn is connected to a venom gland, and the platypus uses this spur to defend itself against predators.

You also have a load of animals apparently made when God knocked over his bits box, spilt glue over the mess and went "Ah, stuff it, that will do"
I think they may have been named with the same reckless abandon too

I don't know, I see this and think the name "platypus" is remarkably suitable.

Be fair : not every Australian comes from Melbourne*.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Gators superior Crocodiles inferior. Our gators eat Cajun boudin and red beans and rice. They are jet propelled. Your wussy Crocs, who are afraid of an unstable economy, cannot catch them and if they do they get the business end of a red bean fuelled blowtorch.
Stingrays are for girls. We have Great whites, hammerheads, tigers, bull sharks, barracudas and really really ticked off sea bass.. You ever mess with an angry sea bass? Ay Carumba.
Scorpions. Heck we have scorpions. We invented the buggers. And tarantulas, and black widows, and brown recluses. I’ve even read of some weird cross creed called a brown widow. We also have Mexican Killer Bees. They don’t need no steenking badges.
We also have pythons, anacondas, and a new man eating mix that don’t play games.
Bogans? Really? Wussies. They’d be shot to death in 17.5 seconds by the nearest crotechty grandmother. We have MS-13 and even worse, Texan wives. You ever seen a Texan wife on a full bore rage? Cross a jackalope with a grizzly with a shotgun. Run Forrest Run!
