Re: Mainly Queenslanders ??
Ha! Have you ever noticed the arrogance of the Melbourne or Sydney people that allow themselves to adopt the Australian title but ridicule other states when they do the same.
Like where is the Australian Chamber Orchestra located? Sydney.
Where is the Australian Youth Choir based? Melbourne?
Where is the home of Australian Rules football? Bloody Melbourne where most of the sport is just a local competition betweeen suburbs. Even when both finalist teams are from another state, they won't allow the final out of Melbourne.
Even if you read the newspapers on- line you will see that Brisbane's Courier-mail has it's state news section plus a national news section - but not the Sydney Morning Herald or the Melbourne Age. No state news there - no, siree! It is all national news - as if some piddling seven-eleven hold up in Footscray is national news. Ha! The cheek of them!!! Ha!
I have spent many years travelling around Australia's capital cities and learnt long ago that the bigger the city, the greater their parochialism. Hell, they cannot even pronounce "Mt Gravatt" properly!
If Steve were ever to rename Ausfish, it would not be a Queensland name. No siree! It would be something like Worldfish, or Globalfish, or Planetfish! No point in having small ambitions. After all, we are Queenslanders!!!!!!!
We control what goes into the Murray Darling system which is the life blood of half of Australia - so we should adopt the national naming rights more often.

I deal with Victorians and New South Welshman all day over the phone and honestly, they are getting more and more like Americans every day - think nothing exists outside their respective state.
The amount of time that people give me their phone numbers without an area code is ridiculous. Just to p1$$ 'em off, (for example) for a Victorian caller if they don't provide an area code I say: "Oh, is that an 02 number ?" and vice versa for a NSW caller.
Doesn't that fire 'em up; nothing like telling a NSW caller he's Victorian
Some can't pronounce Capalaba either ...Hell, they cannot even pronounce "Mt Gravatt" properly!
Tony Barber ( showing my age now) got it terribly wrong one nite introducing a 'home viewer'. Cap-A-Lar-Bar or something came out ..
Had to
Least he apologized tho ...
Although Capalaba is probably no harder than Tootgarook to pronounce.
When you lot a quite finished (God will it ever happen?
Firstly, it was ALL NSW, before they devided it up and gave you and the Mexicans the dregs.
And you have the hide to claim the control of the Murray Darling system, so now we know who to blame
And do we need to know how to pronounce, that word, what was it S@#t I don't even think I can spell it
How about Wallabadah?
Keep it up people, the rip offs are good for the Heart, if you've got one that is.

One of the funniest thing I noticed in Sydney was peoples lifestyles.
SOOO many peolpe are caught up working 6.5 days a week paying off ENORMOUS and I mean ENORMOUS mortgages.Most families both parents are working flat out just to meet the mortgage repayments.
Then if you throw in a couple of kids you never get to see them and you hardly ever see your partner as work just dominates your life.
Most of these houses we are talking about are in disgusting areas and you really need to ask yourself what life is all about.
When you tell them how good QLD is in comparision the reponse is so often....
arrrrggghhh QLD'ers are all so slow........YES that is right and thats why its so bloody good......People enjoy their lifes up here!......
Mostly Queenslanders talking mostly about fishing in Queensland? And the problem would be what???? Although at times we also talk about drinking XXXX and Bundy in Queensland too......sh@t no wonder Im on here a lot
Cheers and XXXX (thats beer for you southern mob)

Sssshhhhh everyone. The more we plug Qld the more mexicans will want to move here. Ignore what everyone has said. The fishing sucks, and it is a horrid place to live.

Re: Mainly Queenslanders ??
Same for Melbourne. They all dress like they are going to a funeral.
...but if they were, it would not be their own. They are a city of spectators!
Even when they buy a boat they lay it up for six months in the winter and just look at it!
Their new museum and their art gallery are both pathetic compared with Brisbane's. Their Yarra river is just a narrow open sewer, so toxic that their early morning rowers get very sick after the slightest of dunkings.
...and their much famed D'Lish Fish cafe, Rex Hunt's "fish'n'chip shop reminds me of the worst grottty fish and chips shops of the 1950's. Very disappointing.
Their airport sucks - no, hang on a minute, all airports suck.
...and in winter they all go to work in the dark and come home in the dark - no wonder that they are so parochial, they cannot see any light.
...and talk about conservative! Ha!

...but the good news is that when they run their boats it costs them more than it costs us.
ie look at the petrol price comparisons for today from the Shell Oil site...
Re: Mainly Queenslanders ??
...and when they finally summons up the nerve to go fishin' they pay through the nose before they even get into the water. See this thread from Fishnet.com.au...
They clearly need a national site like Ausfish to tell 'em how it should be done!
Good to see you've really got a handle on writing a short thread now but writing 36 of them in a row prob defeats the purpose.
Hey Bruce how many weeks of freedom left now or shouldn't this be asked????

That maybe a sore point with Charlie going from midweek marauder to week-end warrior
Must be near the full time hooter on the holiday Charlie??
I still reckon one spot in NSW beats nearly all in QLD...good old Evans Head in northern NSW.
MexicansBloody Mexicans...
Look you lot...stop telling everyone it's great up here. You have seen how these Southerners drive, can you imagine them in a boat or at a ramp!!
We are all Aussie and you guys are mates, but stay down there will you!! Thanks to you mexicans coming up in droves we will be drinking our own effluent soon. Oh and if you do come up....don't bring that Ariel Ping Pong with ya!!
QUEENSLANDER!!!!
Bilgeboy! ....... They're Victorians (& Victorians are only Tasmanians on the way to NSW
