6. And finally, would you stop talking about the rugby? So, England actually won a major (well, Rugby) world trophy in living memory, albiet by not scoring any tries for basically the whole tournament. Would you stop going on and on and on about it??? Well done, congrats on that. Now please move along. We don't continue to remind you of the numerous times Australia has kicked your collective asses in cricket, rugby league, netball, swimming, beach volleyball (of course, you wouldn't have a beach to practice on, well, not one with sand anyway) even the last soccer match that was played. It gets pretty monotonous really. Gee, beat you again. Ho hum. I suppose we should look at it as a compliment that you place so much pride in beating Australia.
And while I am going, I must say I always find it extremely amusing that you English, you poor grey sodden creatures, gathered together all of your criminals, stuffed them in boats and sailed them halfway around the world to live in the sun (do a google search and you will find out what that is), with all the wonderful resources and wonders of this country, AS PUNISHMENT!!! Tip of the hat to the late great Douglas Adams, but no wonder Australians do have that special kind of smile for use exclusively on the british.
That is all for now. Have a nice day.
Actually I believe I bought up the rugby and the 97 Ashes - the Poms are innocent of that one. Do I look like a Pom to you?
Meanwhile our cricket team is busy whipping hell out of Zimbabwe - woohoo go us...

much as i hate to butt in on this aussie monkey calling kiwi a brit rant as i said elsewhere, yes we do like to beat the convicts at sport because outside of the good ol' US you bunch are the smuggest feckers on the planet. The point though gentlemen is this, all this sport you do, at what cost. Anyone name 5 usefull Australian inventions, an Australian Nobel Prize Winner? (Virtual slap to the dufus who says Russel Crow!).
Put your tinnies down and pick up a book once in a while, then we'll have a proper who's best conversation.
And MRX you are too uptight, have a w*nk, get it out of your system, but do it sneakily cos god kills a kitten everytime he catches you!

1838 Pre-paid postage - Colonial Postmaster-General of New South Wales, James Raymond introduced the world's first pre-paid postal system.
1843 Grain stripper - John Ridley and John Bull of South Australia developed the world's first grain stripper that cut the crop then removed and placed the grain into bins.
1856 Refrigerator - Using the principal of vapour compression, James Harrison produced the world's first practical refrigerator. He was commissioned by a brewery to build a machine that cooled beer.
1858 Football - In 1858 Tom Will and Henry Harrison wrote the first ten rules of Football, thus becoming the first people in the world to codify a kicking-ball game. These rules predate those of Rugby, Soccer and Gridiron. Football may have been inspired by the Aboriginal jumping/kicking game of Marn Grook.
1874 The underwater torpedo - Invented by Louis Brennan, the torpedo had two propellers, rotated by wires which were attached to winding engines on the shore station. By varying the speed at which the two wires were extracted, the torpedo could be steered to the left or right by an operator on the shore.
1876 Stump jump plough- Robert and Clarence Bowyer Smith developed a plough which could jump over stumps and stones, enabling newly-cleared land to be cultivated.
1885 Telpahane - The forerunner of the television. It was invented by Henry Sutton in Ballarat.
1879 Refrigeration - Credited with the manufacture of the first artificial ice, Eugene Nicolle and Thomas Sutcliffe Mort developed shipboard refrigeration that resulted in the export of meat from Australia to Great Britain.
1889 Electric Drill - Arthur James Arnot, patented the world's first electric drill on 20 August 1889 while he was an employee of the Union Electric Company in Melbourne. He designed it primarily to drill rock and to dig coal.
1894 First powered flight - Perhaps inspired by the boomerang, Lawrence Hargrave discovered that curved surfaces lift more than flat ones. He subsequently built the world's first box-kite, hitched four together, added an engine and flew five metres.
