    cheers.
    Mate you need to live in the top end, we take it one step further than you city boy queenslanders 9we are probably the oly lads who can get away with calling you lot city boys).

    Even from my last trip to QLD you lot are friendly and better than all other but long way to go be for you can say your the relaxed state /territory cause we have the hold on cracking the tinny, kicking of the thongs and letting out one allmighty she'll b right!

    I mean formal here in denim jeans, I aint never wore a tie in me life. Wear thongs to work, it dont get much better...

    Reckon Muzzy has a point,

    We are a little provincial in Aussie land - I recall one time I was in Cairns working for six weeks. I walked into a pub to sample the local ale (as you do) and sitting next to me were a couple of old timers discussing the character flaws and general uptightness of 'Those Bloody Southerners' The conversation was extensive and vitriolic in a laid back kind of way. I found myself as a Brisbane boy and fellow Queenslander, agreeing in a philosophical way that indeed there were many faults with Mexicans in general.

    I got the shock of my life and crept out of the joint when I realised that the 'Southerners' they were bitchin about - were from Townsville!

    How big is your world?

    Cheers
    Steve.

    Oi Jack ya only go to court when ya get caught... and us darwin lads are little darlings butter wouldnt melt in our mouths or beer go hot in our hand.

    But in the city folks defence, not all of yas are uptight, its seems to be a half half thing and the bad half sticks out more. I like ya all cause ya are aussies and aussies do every thing better...
