Good Morning girls, 43°c in Melbourne yesterday for the Aussie Open, but the British Warrior marches on, shame about Hewitt.

the scotsman i assume?

Represents the Union Jack

only when he wins

Perks of the union Megsy. Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuule Britannia

Love it when our Pommy friends claim Murray. Desperation at its finest.

Now come on Rhino, no need to be like that mate. I'm sure if Tomic was any good you would be saying he was an Aussie or something daft like that

Dafuq is this siht.....

Tomic is Australian unders. We are a multicultural society. You can have him if you want though.

Those 2 Greek kids go ok.  They will be very deep in the top 30 in the next couple of years, both of them.

Casey Dellacqua ....determined, humble, gracious.... I'm proud to recognise her as "Australian".

That spoiled and arrogant turd, Tomic,  is even less "Australian" than Harry Kewell

I'm with you Rhinoid.

We have enough gutless wonders in the cricket team without adding that coont to the list Rhino. Kewell is the most gutless sportsman around and I would be ashamed to call him an aussie. Thats if was an aussie mind. Whats this about greeks ffs, your getting worse than us

The only city in the world with more people of Greek heritage than Melbourne is... Athens. Inevitable unders, that some will represent us on the sporting field. They are more than welcome, their meat is delicious. I am a big man of keftedes

*fan of keftedes.

Of course Rhino, but you have to learn to dismiss the useless ones. You can't carry passengers in this day and age. When Murray is going well he is British, when he is **** he's a sweaty. Do you see what I'm getting at.

i found it interesting reading england doesnt qualify as a country. what would become of england if all british countries went alone.

..Hmm, yes i wonder ,but then the British have always excelled at the finer ,more cultural end of  pursuits than just spourrrrt Bruce .


Hth

yeah eddie the eagle is your finest example  at excelling at the finer

mind you ,Chav baiting is an up and coming sport on the islands   

Good morning to me.

Good Evening to you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good night

Good night

Sweet dreams

Morning

Lovely cold crispy morning here, watching the Winter Olympics, has it ever snowed in Oz? Heard a commentator say one of the Aussie competitors didn't see snow until she was 19 abroad.

Yes it has.

Blue mountains?

Have you heard of the Banjo Paterson poem, " The Man From Snowy River " ?

I believe it snows there.

fancy calling one of our competitiors a broad ... disrepectful

It snowed at my house once

You will damage your nostrils Joel

I think they are damaged enough already.

I actually put that snow in the freezer

could do with some snow in southern England for a change, never mind bleedin OZ  - stuff them buggers  


and no ,it doesn't snow in Oz unless you count one day in Melbourne about 120 years ago

I thought you were a weather geek

Excellent, another thread where English people can display their ignorance.

Snow in southern England. You ponces would be calling from a state of emergency ffs

*for

unders...do the toffs live in southern england?

Yes mate, the real men live in the north

Although they are having a really rough time of it at the moment with the storms. Wouldn't wish all that on anyone

i bet the only stress they are under is worrying about the next heating bill

megsy
unders...do the toffs live in southern england?


I would say the riches people in England do live in the south but the south is far from prosperous as often depicted, some people would have you believe the roads of London are paved in gold but those that live here would love to get out including the immigrants, Tower Hamlets for exsmple is the poorest borough in the whole country.

Excellent, another thread where English people can display their ignorance.


Not sure if not knowing whether it snows 10,000 miles away is ignorant  but I like the Aussies anyway, most cheery people I know in London, maybe it's the thought of knowing they can upsticks and move back home anytime they want.

Good Morning

London weather: Commuters face nightmare journey home as 'wrong heat' cancels trains

1 July


Thousands of London commuters faced delays this evening as cancellations and heat restrictions were imposed on rail services.

As temperatures were expected to peak at 31C between 4pm and 6pm, six trains from Paddington to Henley or Bourne End were to terminate early, adding 30 minutes to hundreds of people’s journeys. Many more services could be hit by the heat restrictions, which started at midday, between Paddington and Ladbroke Grove.

MPs immediately demanded to know why the network could not cope with the heat. Labour mayoral hopeful Sadiq Khan said: “Londoners have already suffered too much because of disruption on the train network. Network Rail needs to get a grip right now. It’s simply not good enough to delay trains because of the ‘wrong kind of heat’.”

Fellow Labour mayoral candidate Diane Abbott added: “When it snows, they say they cannot run trains. When there are leaves on the line, they stop the trains. Now it seems the wrong kind of heat means they have to slow people’s journeys down. I would have thought they would have worked out by now that sometimes in London it gets hot.”

Commuters coping with sweltering temperatures on buses and Tube trainstook to social media to complain at the disruption. “Cannot believe hot weather results in trains cancelled or delayed — it’s not the 1st April is it?" tweeted Richard Scott.

Duncan Heaney added: “Apparently really hot weather breaks Thameslink trains as effectively as rain. Stupid sun.”

Kins (@BeckiferAnne) added: “Apparently in England if we have any weather, the trains won’t run.”

It came as health chiefs today issued a heatwave warning with temperatures in London set to hit 33C.

The Met Office declared a “level two heat-health alert” as there was a risk that the conditions would have a significant impact on people’s health.

Public Health England advised people to keep out of the sun between 11am and 3pm and to pay particular attention to how babies and the frail elderly were affected by the heat.

It's all the fault of the Fat Controller!

As Billy Connolly said,'There is no such thing as bad weather just the wrong clothes.'

The poor people must be melting.

Are we sending aid to England to help them through this?

It's been 15 months since I've been down under, to the Australian forum, too long, just dropping by to say......Good Morning convicts, I hear it's very wet down there atm, nice win for Ricciardo at the weekend, even nicer for the Brit to hand it to him

Good morning pal.

G'day, Joel.

Morning, 44 here today, put a pair of shorts on for a change.

Number 44 carries the doubled vibrations of the number 4, making its energies and influences magnified.  Number 4 resonates with the attributes of support and stability, establishing solid foundations for the self and others, willpower and effort, ability and worthiness, hard work and achieving success, wholeness and inner-wisdom

Number 44 brings a message that you are being surrounded by helpful, loving angels who wish to bring you peace of mind and joy of heart. Angel Number 44 indicates that you are being given support and encouragement along your path, and when faced with an obstacle, rest assured that your angels are most willing to assist. Be assured that solutions to any issues or problems will soon be revealed.

Morning Joel and Henryluca.


Geninue question here, how is Johanna Konta perceived in Australia, is she seen as an Aussie who plays for Britain or a British player? media have all virtually adopted her (mostly out of desperation as our other WTA players are not up to it), crowds too, but on online tennis forums, rather than the casual 2 weeker fans at the matches, are more 50/50 as to whether she is ours or yours. Kind Regards.

Birthplace denotes nationality imo. 

However the Australian newspaper has this article

She’s the one that skipped away. The young eight-year-old kid from Collaroy who picked up a racquet in between trips to the beach in an after school clinic. Now 26, the Australian born daughter of two Hungarian immigrants on Sydney’s northern beaches, Johanna Konta, is now firmly British and leading a revival of women's tennis fortunes in the United Kingdom. Overnight she made the Wimbledon quarterfinals, with one of her Australian tennis friends, Dasha Gavrilova cheering her on.

Konta speaks with a British accent and doesn’t pretend to hold any allegiance to her country of birth, except a humorous reference to her three passports — British, Australian and Hungarian — reminding her of the CIA operative Jason Bourne. When she got her British passport back in 2012 she said: ’’You should have seen the moment I got my passport; I literally ran through the office building and stood on the balcony and screamed “I’ve got my passport!” and got a round of applause. It meant 100% that I was eligible to play Fed Cup (for Britain) and then I got nominated, so it’s really been one good thing after another. To now be actually playing for Great Britain is the cherry on top of the cake.’’

Just why Konta felt so strongly about relinquishing her allegiance to Australia is difficult to understand. She claims she is British because her she spent most of her teenage years in the country, having also spent time training in Spain. But it may also have a bit to do with a crucial cut back support by Tennis Australia when she was beginning high school, although she has never publicly spoken about that.

At the time Tennis Australian officials believed Konta didn’t have the requisite tennis skills to make it big time, ranking her below many of her peers — and so her family decided to move to Europe to be closer to the heart of tennis action.

Interesting, tbf it's hard to tell how a player will develope when they are that young.

Good Morning, this forum seems absolutely dead, what happened ?
