Okay, I'm obviously NOT an Australian, so I approached this with some trepidition (sp?). Anyway, I started reading through it, and found to my surprise that some of them fit me.
See?
4) You've done the Hot Sand run from the beach to your towel Well, come on, who hasn't done that? ;)
8) You stop greeting people with 'Hello' and go straight into 'how're you doin'? I've done that, I think.
12) You've had to decide between putting up with mosquitoes and moving the BBQ inside Okay, first you have to try and see if you can get the mosquitoes to leave you alone with all sorts of useless anti-mosquitoes products. Then you have to decide if you're going indoors or not.
14) You kind of know the first verse of the national anthem, but buggered if you know what 'girt' means Does it count if it's not the Australian National Anthem? 'Cause I'm fairly certain of the 1st verse of the American one, and I don't have a clue what "girt" means...
22) You don't know what's in a meat pie and you don't care You know what, that's true. I don't. (To both, obviously. *g*)
28) You've become deeply cynical of politicians Again, not strictly an Australian trait. *smirks*
35) You believe that the flavour of any meal is improved by adding tomato sauce I... might believe that. (Except for things like, oh, salad, desert, etc...)
41) You firmly believe that in the end, everything will be ok, and have told a mate in tough times that 'She'll be right, mate' Oh, sure. I mean, it may take a while, but sooner or later I'll believe that. (Otherwise I would have gone insane by now, ya know?)
44) You constantly shorten words. For example,breakfast becomes 'brekkie' and afternoon becomes 'arvo', barbeque becomes 'barbie' Ummm, maybe not those words, but I shorten some things.
50) You know that the oath of mateship can never be limited by Geographical distance Oh, wha do you think? Most of my friends live in either a different state or a different country.
So, do you think that's enough to get me visitation privelages? ^_^
