Nah, I like the Aussies, they are prepared to take it, 'cause they know how to dish it out, they're fun.  I refer you to the Barmy Army and the Ashes: they don't get like that with anyone else.

I'm sure there those on these boards who think a South Sandwich is a snack with poncy stuff in, like lettuce.

From the BBC production notes
DI-I  Don't Interview, Incoherent.
SLC; Speaks Like a Chav (Laura Trott, fantastic athlete, lovely girl, but...)
MO-EC; May over-excite Colin [Jackson]
WWT; Who Watches This?


I work with an Aussie.  If biscuit stealing was an olympic sport then Oz would be above China on the Medal Table.
