Jellyfish season – most Australians fear the water, especially in North QLD
Cyclone season – a festive season where we throw away house roofs, cars, any other crap not buried in 1000 tonnes of concrete
Wet season – akin to cyclone season but were Aussies like to pretend they live in aquariums
Winter season – its 10-25 degrees Celsius a lot of Australians die of hyperthermia
And then there is
Australian Mid-Summer that ranges anywhere between Mordor and Satan’s left testicle in heat -
I notice none of the questions came from Canada, not to imply that we don't have our own brand of idiot but it's just we're so busy answering similar questions:
Why do French Canadians have a different accent from other Canadians?
How do I apply for the Canadian Express Card?
What's this Boxing Day in Toronto, do you box on that day?
I heard about that new law and I'd like to find out… uh, my girlfriend would like to know the best places to go topless in Toronto.
Do you have automatic bank machines up there?
Are you connected to Greenland?
Can you tell me about the ferry from Halifax to Europe?
Does Nova Scotia have a dress code?
That's such a lovely flag," said a tourist admiring the Canadian flag. 'Does it come in many colors?"
At which elevation do the elk change to moose?
Can you book us baseball tickets at the SkyDome tonight? We're driving to Toronto this afternoon.
Is the water coming over the falls real?
What time do you turn on the rainbow?
From a tourist who was admiring the falls at night, when they're lit up with various coloured lights: What kind of dye do they put in the water to make it change colour like that?
I have to be at this address in Vancouver for dinner at 5 o'clock this evening. How much time should I allow myself to drive there?
Why do you Canadians have fireworks tonight? The 4th of July is still a few days away.
Which way do we walk to get to Montreal? We'd like to go there for lunch.

I've always figured that Australians must play lots of chess; they're forever saying, 'Mate'. :crazy2:

depends on how you use the word mate , its not aways nice , its the tone not the word we are the only nation on this planet that says Mate to someone you don't like and cunt is someone you hold dear as a term of endearment
we're built tough in this nation , when i went to the states with a gay friend we found the gays there to be ultra soft especially with words that we both used about each other , lets just say it left some of our 'murican chums clutching their pearls. -
I had sex once with an Australian in Hawaii, afterwards I went to the TV room and Kylie was opening or closing the Olympics, it was very, well it was very something.
(fortunately I don't pass judgement without enough evidence, case in point: The Netherlands are still part of the planet)
I will say it is generally not a good idea to pass your self off as a top and then cry when I hate fuck you because you're not, whatever nation state you identify with. Or if say you are from NYC and ask someone "Can you handle 10 inches?", maybe it's wrong of me as a Canadian to assume you're asking because that's what god dealt you but it's also wrong for a guy from NYC with barely 5 inches to expect me to pick up the phone next time he calls.
It should be that we are all basically people (except for my friend who has never convinced me he is from this planet).
Wait a minute, this isn't Speaker's Corner, there's no Winston Churchill statue near here, pardon my keyboard's diarrhoea and my lack of editorially skills

he cried to Kylie , what a softcock , did you shake him like a British nanny shakes babies ??
i hope so -
I did what any true blooded Canadian would do: next day when I saw him on the beach I pretended like I didn't.
I am not saying we are all passive-aggressive however when was the last time there was a Canadian lead invasion? Oh sure, sometimes we talk a big game about torching the White House back in 1814 but Canada became a country in 1867…
If I was going to ask a stupid question about Australia it would be about the politics. I watched a 4 part documentary on, well, I am not even sure what it was on if I was to sum it up from the documentary some woman with the help of shady and nefarious groups stabbed the PM at the time in his back, was no where near as good as a leader though was not half bad but got a brand of comeuppance when election time rolled around. What was striking about the documentary (just because I didn't retain much didn't mean I wasn't riveted) was here was this documentary about whatever and whathave you but oh hey here's all the players dissecting the whole thing. I know it doesn't sound like a question but here goes: dafuq?
