I agree. comfortable enough in the relationship to take liberties. it's not offensive to me - perhaps it's only so if skin pigment or religion are involved?
funny innit.

I used to use that a lot, that's from the old fidonet days.

"insert favorite ethnic group" or "insert favorite ethnic group here"

Austrlia a race?
If there is a way that they can find to cheat without getting caught they will do it. It's part of their national psych. Kiwis don't hold this against them, we understand their history and background. But we take the piss out of them at every oppertunity. Aussies misunderstand this and believe that we are envious or their sporting records etc when in fact their is nothing Australian, the Kiwis are envious about. In fact it is the complete opposite. Take racing for example. Many of our finest thoughabreds have been sold to Australian interests, and when they become famouse are they NZ horses oh no. They are Australin ones. Another example; the famouse pavlova dessert is a kiwi icon but the Aussies now insist that it is thiers. If they gave kiwis credit where credit is due......................but they don't and they get slagged becasue of it.

Yeah but you deserve it.

At least you're just "Yanks" not "Bloody Yanks".

Unless you count "Septics".

I'd be envious of Rolf Harris... he's done more for Australia than Gandalf and a whole army of elves can for New Zealand!
