I've always thought that Australians and New Zealanders always got along well (after all, you have things like ANZAC).

But it's hardly a unique situation around the world.

India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have always had tensions, partly on religious grounds.

On the other hand, you've got Germany and Austria who have always been very close in terms of relations.

In Britain we have a complicated relationship with the Irish. In the general public, there's little bad blood (at least in Britain, there isn't much overt anti-Irish sentiment) but it runs through Ireland being subject to Britain for some 800 years.

Of course, Northern Ireland is still part of Britain (it's mostly protestant like the rest of Britain unlikely mainly Catholic Ireland, which has been part of how Northern Ireland, when it was Ulster, remained allied to Britain during the war of independence)

Of course, now Northern Ireland has a deep history of civil unrest and terroism because of the division between the people between relations between Britain and Ireland.

Closer to home I find a lot of hate for people from Manchester in Liverpool obviously this is football related but it's growing. Having also lived in Manchester I never had any problem being from Liverpool while I was there but having been there a lot recently it;s back with a vengeance. Even weirder I find more hassle in Liverpool if you don't have a strong "scouse" accent. I get grief all the time even though I grew up here and most of people I know who grew up here don't have strong accents either. It's ridiculous but people seriously think I'm lying when I tell them I grew up in Toxteth despite my parents living there and I know a lot of people there from growing up around them. People seem to be think I'm lying to try and seem "cool" but I find this inverted snobbery ridiculous nonesense. In fact most people put on fake accents a la Cilla Black just so they don't get the grief I get. Ironically whenever I go to Manchester or anywhere outside of Merseyside people think I have a strong scouse accent just talking the same way I do here. In fact I think this inverted snobbery is worse than normal snobbery because these people pride themselves on being down to earth-wrong they are as stuck up their own asses as the rich and privileged-but they are too stupid to realise that.

I'm doing better, I still have to use crutches or a walker but the pain is gone for the most part. Thank you for asking, Wicker.:)

I just finished series Flight Of The Concords and noticed all the jokes about Australians and New Zealanders hating each other. Perhaps it was for comedic effect and I missed the joke......:o

I think Elvis is on to something.....You gotta be high on oxys to enjoy Pretty Woman......:D

When someone calls my phone and I miss the call, my phone tells me about the missed call. Then, I get a text message to say that I missed a call, though the person calling didn't leave a message.

I know what you mean. Now that the children are grown, a lot of the fun has gone out of it. Less work though.

hammerfan 12-21-2011 07:48 AM

I'd much rather spend my time volunteering at an animal shelter or soup kitchen or something worthwhile. I'm sick of all these greedy fuckers.

How's the chill around your parts?

The temperature has gone down alarmingly in the past week. Hovering at around 8° C right now. Gotta love winter.

Sistinas666 12-21-2011 06:20 PM

It has snowed here twice in the last 2 weeks. Right now its 35 degrees F here. I hate winter.....:mad:

The Villain 12-22-2011 02:24 PM

I'm sick of people make me feel stupid and talking down to me.

I hate being tired all the time.

I'm really struggling with who i am and who i want to be.

Why do people have to be so damn childish?

Any smokers in here? I'm trying a new brand called Marlboro Black. I like them but so far other people i've given one too havent like it all. Wondering if i'm the only one.

Okay, with the exception of the last part, that was more venting then random thoughts but i guess that's on my mind.

Yeah I love Superkings black-the long ones but when I'm on a budget I'll smoke rolling tobacco-Amber Leaf or Gold Leaf. I used to smoke Marlboros when I was at university several years ago but gradually went off them.

I've tried a couple times. Never seems to take.

hammerfan 12-25-2011 07:48 AM

It takes work. This time was especially hard for me because of all the bullshit I have in my life right now. But I also have a few family members that have either passed from or have been diagnosed with cancer.

That really sucks. Sorry, that must be hard. Something like that would probably kick my ass into quitting. Its so stupid that it takes something like that though. My problem is that i know im never going to quit until i actually want to and right now i dont.

Fearonsarms 12-25-2011 04:09 PM

My mum and sisters have tried to quit several times and it's been hell for them-my problem is I enjoy smoking too much I'm really feeling it on my throat-getting out of breath very easily but I still smoke nonetheless-I'm a lost cause.

Same with me

Sistinas666 12-26-2011 04:44 AM

I say fuck quitting. They make me happy. Same thing with booze and cocaine(gee....is it obvious I am an 80's guy?)

Why drag out a shitty broken life? Do what you like until it kills you.

FUCK RENTON.....I choose death.

TheWickerFan 12-26-2011 10:42 AM

I've never smoked, but I get so irritated by the constant lectures about how smoking is bad for you and those around you (second only to weight lectures). It almost makes me want to take up smoking out of spite.

It does get annoying especially when you go to the doctor and they give you a big lecture about not smoking and then when you're leaving you see that same doctor or nurse out in the parking lot on a smoke break.

wizard of gore 12-26-2011 01:32 PM

Not to mention how vilifying smoking makes it seem really cool to kids-I live near a school unfortunately and I've lost count of the amount of schoolkids that have asked me for a cigarrette so they can show off with it to their mates.
