Australians...

[Richard]

What will you be using your money from Kevin Rudd on?

I'm using it to go to Adelaide.

 

[Hip2bsquare]

Ahh that will be fun for you. Hahah nah Adelaide is ok.

Im going to be spending part of mine to get a new microwave (perhaps) and the rest on a trip somewhere in the country at the end of the year. Most likely Cairns or the Gold Coast. *

Wouldnt be counting chickens yet however, the court case is still on.

* note: if I dont spend it on other pointless shit that I dont need before hand.

 

[Richard]

My money has definately came through, I got the letter yesterday and my bank balance was up by $950

 

[Hip2bsquare]

Ahh the old student one Im guessing? Good stuff.

Im in a different vote in that if it goes thru I will only get $900. Better than nothing.

 

[Richard]

Ahh, hope it goes through for you then man. When I heard about that old guy on the news I thought to myself "Who the fuck do you think you are?". There are so many young families who depend on this money for things.

So you're from Adelaide then?

 

[Hip2bsquare]

Yeah at work I said he should be killed but in a barrell of acid and placed in a bank vault. Didnt go down to well.

Nah Im in the South East of SA, go to Adelaide a fair bit. If you get the chance check out some of the little towns in the hills. Or Victor Harbor, my best friend moved there 2 years ago for her teaching job and loves it. Beautiful place. I go there about once a month. Definately a place to go. Only about 80kms from Adelaides CBD.

 

[Richard]

Ah yeah, I have one free day that I'm not doing anything so I'll have to ask the people I'm staying with about that. I'm going to a place called Glenelg for a day though, I'm told it's nice there.

 

[Hip2bsquare]

Yeah the Bay (or Glenelg) is a really nice place. If you dont get to Victor dont fret the Bay is really nice, especially when the weather is fine.

 

[Rusty]

What a minute, you live in South Australia??? I have a reputation on this Forum for being the only guy from South Australia, and now it's ruined

And I already bought a suit with Mr Rudd's money, the rest I'm saving up for a car.

 

[Hip2bsquare]

Sorry Rusty I am from SA as well.

Court case is still going hopefully get a good verdict.

 

[Tim]

Victoria is the best state.

As far as I know, I don't get it. Lucky bastards.

 

[Rusty]

Why not?

I got it...

 

[Tim]

I think you have to be 16.

 

[Leeds Guy]

wait so u aussies just got money for nothing?

 

[Richard]

Pretty much.

One of the questions someone texted in at work today was about Australian time zones. You guys have fucked up time zones, is alls I'm saying. Mabye the money is in compensation for that?

 

[Hip2bsquare]

Well the money for the people that work, not students etc, are in lieu of massive Tax Cuts I think (maybe not)

All part in parcel to try and stimulate the Economy.

Timezones are noramlly ok. Its just Daylight Savings stuffs things up as not all states do it. So throws out the time for some states.

What's so fucked up about them?

Or maybe your time zones are fucked up.

 

[Tastycles]

We have one that changes across the country twice a year. You have three nominally, but different states and territories change at different times in the year, or not at all.

 

[Tim]

Australians don't care about other states. Only the state they are in matters the most.

 

[Rusty]

Except for Tasmania. Even Tasmanians don't care about Tasmania.

 

[Tastycles]

Fair enough, but British people are mostly ignorant of the states so the question asked was "wat time is it in austrailia now?", which proved difficult.

 

[Rusty]

It's 10:28PM over here.
