Oi! Oi! Oi!

Just curious about how many Australian NS'ers there are out there, i know there's a close knit NS community at my school, but havent heard of it anywhere else (except for two geelong girls i managed to get hooked).

this may be the beer talking, but is it true that you're all descended from petty criminals and deadbeats?

also, did the dingo really steal anyone's baby?

No, that's only a scant minority of the population. Most people here are descended from immigrants in later times.

well, most of us were descended from criminals, and we're pretty sure that the dingo did take the baby, but that's no reason to dish out on us.

Well, I don't know where you live, but i've never met anyone that can claim convict descent.

I wasn't trying to bash Australia... I mean... I'm from America for Christ's sake. I'm not really in a position to start bashing countries.

Don't feel bad. My ancestors sent a basketfull of captured soldiers' ears to the British. I think there's something in the Geneva Convention about that.

Umm, do you get double points for being an Australian and New Zealander NS'er? Cause that would be cool as I am.

AERIAL PING-PONG! w0000000t!!11111shiftoneeleven

True blue aussie, here. Luckily for me, I play none of that evil, EVIL aerial ping-pong we refer to as AFL/NRL (I hate football, and I always get them mixed up. I also hate cricket... Maybe I'm an 'n! MGO!

I seriously think we should export drop-bears to America. Sure, they're fictional creatures, but did that stop Brits dying from them? (Well, maybe it did, but meh.)

But, then again, I [i]was descended from a convict (Well, maybe not directly descended, but still....)

But, then again, who would ever want to go to Britain?! I mean, that's where the convicts came from!

Aussie here :)
C'arn the sport with the oval ball, meat pies and holden cars!

To Leonstein, Servus! now heres a question, to decide if you are a true blue Aussie or still just too German, Can you eat a meat pie without burning your tounge, fingers and without spilling it? (Ich liebe einen Deutschen und ich lerne Deutsch[ich bin nicht gut], bitte entschuldige mein schlechtes Deutsch)I know that germans that have lived in Aussie just cant eat the fair dinkum meat pie so yeah,

NZ's shag sheep!

Yes i come from convict origin, You Gonna Make Somethin' of It?!?!?!?!?!

and honestly THANK YOU POMS FOR SENDING US OUT HERE, IT GOT US AWAY FROM THE DAMP DANK HOLE THAT IS ENGLAND!!! you sent us from the deepest dampest most miserable island ever [yes ive been there, not going back] and sent us to paradise a sun drenched tropical island (well as long as your above the QLD border).....

Yeah we think the dingo stole the baby, still not 100% sure on that, but dingos would eat something that size ect

Well, I don't know where you live, but i've never met anyone that can claim convict descent.

I can trace my family back to being transported on the 3rd fleet in the early 1800's (1845?). On both my Mothers and Fathers side there are 21 convicts that I am in some way related to. One of them, who wasn't overly bright, got caught stealing an iron gate.

Im sorry, but I find the "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi" chant one of the most annoying of sport.

I remember seeing an England versus Aussie rugby game a while ago. During the game the English spent the game singing songs and all that kinda stuff, and everytime there was a gap all you could hear was "Aussie, Aussie.....". Put me off that forever, if only the australian fans could've used some more initiative.

Also, there are many australians on my ASL thread in my signature. Even tells u what state they are from :D

And to go with T.D.'s joke, Q. Why do seagulls fly upside down over aussie?
A. 'Cos there is nothing worth sh1771ng on
:D, just a joke in jest from a kiwi, dont take it too seriously

Aussies are the best, get rid of the poms and the rest. I want to thank the English too for saving all those poor convicts from that horrible cold place, and giving them a much nicer home down here in the sun.
Also whats the difference between a kiwi and a photograph?
The photos much more developed.

Aussie here too.

What's so bad about coming from a country that was once used fr transportation or having convicts in your family tree? As I understand America was also used for Transportation for a while. Besides i doubt there are many people anywhere that can trace their family back 8 generations without finding at least one guy who had a brush with the law.

However they stopped Transportstion a long time ago (very shortly after the convicts they sent over started finding masses of gold...) And much of Australias population is decended from people who arrived much more recently with a large first generation population.

As far as i know my first ancestors arrived in Australia on the First Fleet (I have a geneology nut in my family who researches these things) and a couple of others sent over for things like "Being in possession of three stolen geese"

I'm Australian... but I wish I wasn't.

I'm straightedge (alcohol free), into grindcore punk and post-apocalypse films, vegan, hate sport with a passion and live in an anarchist commune named after a Chinese cosmosnaut. So yeah... I suppose I could be proudly called un-Australian (as the government has called my types... but that's a laugh coming from a bunch of capitalists scumfucks when I'm a 'true Aussie' in the sense that I'm an industrial worker).

And yes, I have punched someone for shouting that 'Aussie aussie aussie' slogan... so I guess I'm a criminal. And my greatgrandmother was born on a sailing ship on the way here and married a mining manager. So I suppose that's reasonably Australian. But unlike three quarters of Australians, I don't pretend to be related to Ned Kelly.

And my partner, US-born, is going through immigration as we speak... Surely, we make at least one and a half?
