That's just over in far east Texas, isn't it? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

If I were to have to leave the USA and live elsewhere,I do believe Australia would be my 2nd choice of a place to live next to the USA...its too bad Australia is not our 51st state.

Whoops!!!! I'm not sure the Australians would like that. I do agree with you however, if I wasn't here, you'd probably find me in Australia or possibly New Zealand. I spent some time in Sydney and over in Perth and up and down Western Australia and absolutely loved it. I think I could be very happy there. I've never been down in Vin's neck of the woods though. I'm told it's beautiful.

It is of interest this comment as just last night there was a article on current affairs programme about young kids and their Americanisation. Most of the kids interviewed did not know or use our heritage slang like G’day mate but use new rap crap sayings instead.

( What is Woomera being used for these days????? )

Woomera is still in use

I vote to make New Zealand our 51st state and Australia our 52nd state.We could drill for oil in the outback... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Awe, any aussie can get blasted into space...now that ones that build their own house boat deserve some respect! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif [seriously, you have way more talent than I]

Way off track, but now that you have the house boat, have you found that elusive octopus's garden yet?!

As far as Assie teens picking the "rap crap" slang....we already have 50 states with that....sure don't need 51!
