Shit hits the fan in Aussie!

[Crazy Steve]

WOW ! !

Surely this is why everyone is leaving NZ to earn the BIG dollars over in Aussie right...?

I say if you can't make it here what makes you think you can do any better there ?

Oh and take your togs....:yes:

Hmmm. And they call themselves 'The Lucky Country'.Lucky they are still there....

[Swoop]

It's a very dusty place and requires a wash.

[Crasherfromwayback]

They're certainly having a tough time of it of late. As far as the Aus/NZ thing goes, I lived in Brisbane for two years, and I think we've got it much better here!!

[Spyke]

I say good luck to the people living there, my thoughts go out to them as this goes over.

kev good on ya man :yes: must be an eye opener for sure!

The US seems to be taking a bit of a freezing too (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_winter_weather) "The system that stretched more than 2,000 miles across a third of the country promised to leave in its aftermath a chilly cloak of teeth-chattering cold, with temperatures in the single digits or lower."

[slofox]

I dunno what the Aussies have done to piss god off so much, but man, it musta been a doozy!

Actually, that storm looks big enough to impact on northern NZ...so maybe we should hold onto our hats as well.

Better hope this bloke (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10703623) is right...

[SPman]

Pah....it's only Queensland....no loss!

[oldrider]

It's all starting to sound like the comics we used to read when we were kids! :yes:

There was always some Dr Evil who was trying to control the weather and conquer the world! :facepalm:

Would the real Dr Evil please stand up! :mellow:

I was watching the aussie news this morning at around 7am.

They were pissed off that no one had died and nothing had exploded. Vultures.
