[OT] Would all the Aussies, please stand up?

WhereTF are the Sydneysiders?!?!?

This is a question that is also often asked at Sydney conventions. (Yes, they do still run - but they're pretty small.)

Hi Mate! Keep up the good work on the non-smoking.


And back on the topic:
I'm a Kiwi-born, Norfolk Island Bred (so I always refer to myself as a Norfolk Islander), Scandinavian resident. As Norfolk Island is a territory of Australia...I'll include myself in this poll.

I'm stuck in the far chilly northern reaches of this planet, the temperatures have been down to -22 this winter, it is 08:30, and the sun is STILL struggling to get past the horizon...

So I hope you lot appreciate what you have.

Green Slime, if only snus was legal here. That's what got me this nicotine habit in the first place.

And I think when you wake up in the mornings and look at what's laying in the bed next to you, you'll be glad you are where you are.

OK, let's test the general Australian cricket knowledge!

Does anyone here know who Tich Freeman was? I only ask because he was my great-uncle, and a quite famous English cricket player. Points only for being able to tell me what he was famous for.

*waits for answers with interest*

Hehe, I could send you a "roll" if you like, Not a problem. Changed my email address though, so if your interested, send your particulars (prefered poison, with RL address) to jonathan dot mckee at telia dot com

And when I awake, all I see is an empty bed; she is out in the kitchen making breakfast noises... Which is rather nice too, and she says she'd consider the move, so I'm saving my öres for that day

I haven't the foggiest clue about Tich Freeman. I'm a Athletics (Track and Field for any americanos treading this thread) fan.

Sydney.

WhereTF are the Sydneysiders?!?!? All the Ozzies here are either Canetoads or Mexicans. There's even more guys from Perth, even though they must be using laptops hooked up to diesel generators (though I hear electricity is coming soon).

Diesel????

I don't hold with this new fangled stuff! My difference engine runs fine on steam, thank you very much. Ye can keep your stinking diesel!

Not sure about Tich Freeman... Was it most runs conceeded in a season? He was a bowler wasn't he?

And on a related note... great game of cricket today! Aussies only won by 7 runs... closest game of the season!

Sydneysider here!

Long time lurker and infrequent poster...

There has to me more Sydney people here.... there has to be...

And more importantly, are there any Saints fans out there as well (Rugby League that is!)

I'm sure snowy will back me up.

I wish we got more league down here but we only get the occassional match on abc or sbs, AFAIK.

Now league.. there's a game I can get behind. Yah gotta love the way they charge into each other... the sheer bonecrackedness of it all is great! That's one of the few good things I took away from my time living and working in Queensland, an appreciation for league.
