Hello from the US.



A seppo being welcomed by a pommie on an Aussie board. It sure is a small world. :D :D :D

You've got him stuffed from the start Peter. :D

[PoPnBuG]

:D Thanks guys...

I may be cutting my own throat, but I'm very proud of not only where I am from, but "geedubblya" too...

Take your shots as you see fit...

This is quite an extensive board, so I'm sure I'll take shots from all directions, but I can hang with the big dogs...:cool:

[Sturdee]

Take your shots as you see fit.........but I can hang with the big dogs...:cool:

Don't you worry about that, I'm sure we will. :D :D :D


BTW I don't know about the big dogs around here, but how are you hanging. :D :D :D


Peter.

[PoPnBuG]

Lengthy... on the right :cool:


What's the saying???

"feared by men, revered by women" ??? HA!!!:o

[Sturdee]

I can see why the US forums don't interest you. They don't seem to cater for a seppo with a sense of humour. :D :D :D


I can see you'll fit in here okay, even though you're very proud of "geedubblya". :eek:


Peter.

[Ludo]

Mate,

welcome here, but leave your *****,***** *****,***** "geedubblya" out of this forum or the presure cooker might blow-off :mad: .

Peter. And it takes a Dutchman to point this out and a Canuck to comment on it.:rolleyes:

[echnidna]

Just thought I'd tell you lot who originated overseas that the term foreigner is very uncommon in OZ,
A more welcoming term is New Australian

[echnidna]

Once you get the message and move here to live!!!

For the record I'm neither a Dutchman nor a New Australian or an Old Australian just an Australian who happened to be born in The Netherlands. :D :D :D

I know because, unlike others, I have a certificate to prove it. :p :p :p

Is that like a Tax Invoice or did you avoid GST?? :D :D

Just got sick of all the dykes? :D :D :D :D

[Sturdee]

Just got sick of all the dykes? :D :D :D :D

Yes, especially the kind that seem to parade up and down Kings Cross and St.Kilda. :D :D :D :D


Actually to the Dutch normal kind of dykes are a serious matter. Especially if you were living, like we were, in that part of Amsterdam that was over 9 metres below sea level. If a dyke broke and pumps failed to work you would have to swim for it. :D :D :D


Peter.

[Sturdee]

Is that like a Tax Invoice or did you avoid GST?? :D :D

Bob, it was before they thought up that GST. It was signed by the then minister of immigration and the GG to say that I was now an aussie.


Somewhat like the discharge certificate that they give when you are allowed to leave the asylum except this certificate let me in. :D :D :D


Peter.

[DPB]

Actually, Bob, I don't think the term "foreigner" was used in this thread until you used it.

I tell my friends that I'm a Canadian by birth and an Aussie by choice.:) This was a decision I made, by the way, 17 years ago. But I must hasten to add, that I was as much an Aussie on the day I made the choice as I am today, and as is anyone born in the wonderful country.


AUSSIE - AND DAMN PROUD OF IT!

[PoPnBuG]

but leave your *****,***** *****,***** "geedubblya"

Now, bordering on racism, what is your colour? (color).........

OK... this is a long story...

I shoot real bullets at various kinds of targets while wearing a uniform akin to the uniforms during the 'Great Conflict' (the war of Northern Aggression;) ).

See http://www.n-ssa.org/ for details about the organization...

I belong to an Ohio unit, because my friend got me started, but I am SOUTHERN thru and thru... I justifiy it by wearing the uniform of my country, but I am a Rebel for sure!

I tell my team-mates that I was sent to spy on the North and gather intelligence, but the North had none...

OK, before you get all 'ralled up, THE WAR IS OVER, and we know it. Our's is a SHOOTING organization dedicated to the sacrifice FROM BOTH SIDES... My guys know me, and they put up with me, and vice-versa!!!:D

We have fun, and I always have my rebel flag somewhere inconspicuous!

.... Whew!!

PoPnBuG

You are entitled to be proud of your country and your leaders - the same as everyone else is of they wish. Some of these guys are a bit rude to foist their personal political views on you and everyone else, especially as you have just joined us.
Ignore the politics and enjoy the woodwork.

Regards

[Sturdee]

.. about Sturdee though, he's one to watch.

Beejay, so you're the one that is watching me. :p :p :p Pop, just ignore him he's just a pommie. :D :D :D

Firstly Pop, I would like to take this opportunity to point out that everyone on this forum except ME are complete idiots.... I should like to add that you seem to fit right in with the rest of 'em because you have started on this forum by posting post after post in the "PHOTO GALLERIES" section without posting a single photo in any of your posts! You have posted a post which links to a strange site with a lot of people in very strange hats pointing smoky stick things at things on posts.

YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!! but very welcome! ;)

[Termite]

Yes I've heard that Northern Victorians are a bit strange. :p :D

[PoPnBuG]

Someone did this to make me look bad, I'll bet :rolleyes:

[Christopha]
