Yes, Australia, but can Donald Trump tell the difference? And personally I think it was mean of our PM to make fun of Donald Trump, especially as it may get us missiled into a radioactive wasteland before the investigation into his presidential conduct bears fruit ("the weed of crime", etcetera). Us or Austria. Didn't we come close enough to that when Britain was using us as a missile and A-bomb testing ground in the 1950s?We can perhaps protect ourselves from our enemies, but God protect us from our friends. Especially when they're conservative.

Too right, mate. We don't really exist. Never have. I mean, all that rubbish about the platypus ... how could anybody except a leftie faggot scientist be dumb enough to believe a creature like that exists? They didn't really send any convicts down here either. After the American Revolution, they just sailed out into the Atlantic and dumped the cons overboard, then sneaked back into port and said "Mission accomplished" to the Admiralty. True fact in secret Admiralty records which I just made up.Maybe if I come to the U.S. Fox will hire me.

Three big cheers for you and your great-grandmother. If democracy and freedom survive it'll be thanks to people like you and her, not the gun-toting ratbags who say shoot everybody who disagrees.

What can you expect from someone who spends most of their life living upside down? Sure Teh Don was caught admiting that they had better healthcare than we do, but, geeze! If he doesn't like our reverend leader, what does that say about him?

Wait. So my 1987 Australian vacation, which lasted two months and included watching Supernova 1987A from the Great Barrier Reef never happened? News to me, especially since I spent all my money diving the GBR. And started painting again because of the quality of the light there.

Oh, and Evan, it's not the Australian language. It's the Australian Slanguage. I've read the (hilarious) book. On the overnight train between Sydney and Brisbane.

Aussies don't eat shrimp, they eat prawns. On the barbie or off.

You can keep them. I'll take the actor Bryan Brown. One of my faves for years.

Easybeats for the win. Probably the best band ever to come out of Darlinghurst (a Sydney suburb, or neighborhood as we say here in NYC)https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I've never voted for the man as he is the leader of the Australian version of the GOP ironically called the Liberal Party here. But he has gone up in my estimation. Still won't vote for him though. It was revenge for calling him Trumble.

Still won't vote for him though. We have our own version of him - Donald in drag Pauline.
