Adelaide where all the trampy Aussies live. It must be fuckin bad when even Aussies say it's full of ugly bamps. Actually I was born in England and in a city that is equivalent to England as Adelaide is to Australia. Sorry to disappoint you mate. So you're a fuckin brummie as well. Not got much luck have you? No, sorry, born in Newcastle. Why else would I care about NUFC you fool?

Err no. Was never a huge drinker tbh, ironically it all started while I was in London for 6 month. Great times.

Didn't Marcus Trescothick (sic) have a similar problem? What is it with you fucking poms? Weak as piss man. Some survey was done, and depression is linked in some parts to intelligence levels. The higher your intelligence the more likely you are to get it. Makes sense when you never hear of a depressed Aussie. Probably more to do with the weather tbh. I reckon I might even cave in living over there long term. It's offset by the fact English people are much funnier than Aussies, and there's 100 times less chance of your fair skin resulting in skin cancer. Fuck off, haven't you watched Kath and Kim? And you only get skin cancer if you don't put sun lotion on man. A lot of the English out here this summer did not heed. Honestly man, you poms need a mug of cement soup so that you can harden the fuck up. Weak, whinging fuckers the lot of ya. Biggest racists in the Commonwealth I may add, look at that sponsored beach bullying of those Lebonese people. What a boring dweeb you've become. A shadow of your former self. Hang your head in shame Stevie. And who sponsored this "beach bullying" then? I await with anticipation your thoughts. Well I'd rather be a shadow of my former self, than a boring dweeb to begin with like yee I think you're more bitter than Danny B to be honest, and the best about it is the Aussie ashes woe looks set to continue for years. It effects you as a nation and people in a way that even a World Cup disaster doesn't effect us. Just remember you'd be speaking Japanese if it wasn't for us. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Cronulla_riots doilhams Why do you continue to type out words like as if you were a pirate? Look, I'm not bitter. I'm happy for you guys, fuck it's not often you poms win anything, let's be honest. We'd be speaking Japanese would we? You fucking dullard, you pricks couldn't manage it on your own so you expected the Aussies to be called up like servants to protect Britain while Australia was being attacked... thank fuck for the Marshall plan otherwise you'd be speaking German. No wonder Britain lost their empire with what you're spurting out, nothing more than a few specks of land now. Australia is ten times your size, and with everything going for it. I hope you don't wake up too cold in the morning champ, as for me, I'll go down the beach for a bit of a jog and swim. Such is life... Everything going for it Race riots left right and centre. More than 10 times the size of the British Isles, with a GDP lesss than half wors, GDP per capita far less. It's a fuckin desert man, with a few jungles near the coast. Waste of time place, with waste of time people. Uncouth wanks, I've said for years when you take away the Helen Daniels types, all the majority of you are is scousers in the sun. I've worked with loads of Aussies, smiley, arrogant and dense are three buzz words when I think of them. There was one race-riot you clown. Who sponsored it again? Better we sort this out in the early stages before it's too late... like dare I say, in Britain, it's too late. Of course I was only talking about land mass. It's such a shame that I've had to verify that to you. GDP is all you have to boast about tbh. Who gives a shit about that, real quality of life is what is most important. Look, really, all Aussies have a reason to be smiley and arrogant when dealing with poms. Why shouldn't they? When have you lived in England to be qualified to discuss quality of life. I'll tell you now you say you have a lot to be arrogant about when dealing with "poms". You're an insignificant country, who was owned by us but we thought fuck it, nee oil, convicts anyway, problems with aborigine's, big fuckin spiders, what's the point. We look down our noses at you, always will, and always have done. A land mass that size and you can't generate a GDP anywhere near our tiny little island, a place so boring you have to put your hopes and dreams on a team and a league 10,000 miles away. Imagine an Englishman staying up all night to watch Cronulla Tigers or whatever wanky name they call themselves. You're a nation of Joe Mangle's with worse teeth. Uranium, steel, and coal. This is the land of plenty. Seriously, you've lost it man. Spiders? convicts? aborigines? and nee oil?.. hardy har har. How pathetic are you. The fact you're at work and I'm on my 3rd bottle of reisling sitting peacefully listening to a bit of music, watching a bit of Spanish football and responding to your barbs. You've been entertaining though. Look say if you had as much oil as Saudi Arabia, you think you'd be anything other than a British colony. Everyone should have pride in where they're from, but Australia, I mean 4FS. Most of your history has something to do with us, the most notable thing I can remember you doing on your own was making The Young Doctors, and turning that boat away full of Asian asylum seekers. I just wanted to get across to you how deeply the average English person looks down their nose at Aussies, and Australia. I've succeeded. Idiot. We have as much uranium as Saudi Arabia has oil. Do you have any idea what that means? Obviously you poms weren't to know this, though you used Australia as a nuclear test site, you weren't to know nuclear energy would be so important a few decades later. But c'mon, let's be honest, Britain gave up as a world power in the 1960's when she decided to be guided by the US thereafter. It is little brother now, little puppy, alongside Australia and nothing more. Although we don't have so many Yanks in our country, because we don't need them. I don't care what the average pommy thinks, and it all comes down to our makeup, pommies whinge about shit like that, Aussies don't care, but this is something you can't understand. We are stronger, and we always will be, it's just the way it is.

Right, back to the cricket... I'm not too confident now.

OK, but still

If we had an earthquake of that Magnitude it would be a lot worse than that here with the geology makeup of the UK. Also, isnt there a shelf in Gibraltar that if that falls would cause one of the biggest tsunami's known to man, basically the UK would go? This bloke doesnt thnk so: http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/gsl/views/askage...t/page6542.html] The earthquake that hit kent a few years back was only about 44 and that caused a lot of damage due to the clay's down there. imagine that doubled! I'm no expert on earthquakes by any stretch of the imagination but the scale of them works a bit differently to how you think they are. That is an earthquake of a magnitude of 8.8 is not double the strength of an earthquake with a magnitude 4.4. The earthquake that hit Christchurch had a magnitude of 6.3, but this Japanese one with a magnitude of 9.0 was said to be roughly a thousand times stronger. Well, that's what I read anyway.

I suppose Greg Palast (the blole interviewed) is a nutjob as well? You're so narrow minded you probably fall over cause your head is saw shaped. I get my info from everywhere. I don't sit there crying into a BBC teatowel you nonce. You get your info from any site that suits your weird views, which are conspiracy sites in the main. Parlance is welcome to his views but he's not credible in this case. 'ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND WILL DIE!!!!!' - based on absolutely no evidence at all. I think I'll trust scientists who have spent their entire careers in the field rather than a journalist who clearly has an agenda. I get the impression some people actually want this thing to go off...... Aye, there are loons out there that want a full-blown meltdown just so they can say their predictions were right, no doubt about it.

Because the Japanese aren't as poor as the blacks in New Orleans - look up the correlation between crime and poverty. No, but people are/were extremely poor in Sendai and her surrounding areas which was the initial impact zone of the tsunami, yet it was safe. Why hasn't there been any looting since the disaster? I don't think you can use stats to make arguments about safety/crime/poverty between Americans and Japanese. Is that racist to say? I don't give a shit, because I think it's the truth. You hop on a train and lose your carry-all containing your wallet and phone in Japan and you can be sure someone would hand it over to a worker at a train station and you'd be able to claim it and get it back. If something like that happened in America, or here in Sydney, well... fat chance. It's a culture thing. I've experienced it and know it. Well done Wacky. Excellent thread.

Different culture mate. While the Japanese are currently facing hell on earth, here in Australia a 101 year old lady has her watch and shopping money stolen by a pair of middle aged men who obviously preyed on her and waited for an opportune time to nail her. A 95 year old blind woman gets bashed and robbed and an 80 year old bloke coming home from watching the movies gets pummeled and is left lying on the middle of the road. On the weekend a few coppers get blood spat in their face for trying to break up a fight. I've always said Australia and particularly America are our naughty kids who have turned in to right wronguns. Kids learn from their parents.

When you say pacy, you mean pacy as in Joey Barton pacy, Gazza pacy or Emre pacy right?

Just following on from that as well, watching the news here, one of the blokes in that facility fighting the fires was supposed to retire in 6 months time. He volunteered to stay on and knows he won't survive this.

so what are you suggesting that would actually help? There is no solution unless people are willing to give up their lives. Where's the kamakaze style spirit now? I wouldn't dee it like. Happening as we speak champ. The 50 who are still there in the nuke plant know they will die for being there. They've tweeted messages saying it is their duty to the nation. Apparently they do what they do for ten minutes spurts before getting out otherwise they'd fry. Here in Australia the media are dubbing them "samurai warriors".

Ten times normal is absolutely nothing Stevie. You get hundreds of times normal radiation every time you have an X-ray and thousands of times normal every time you fly, and it is of absolutely no harm to human health. That was a one off reading as well. Not saying this is over by a long shot but conversely you seem to be predicting the worst case scenario is going to happen. Too right. I don't think anyone's daft enough to try and suggest that this situation will be resolved quickly. A nuclear accident takes years to fix up, but the immediate issue of stopping/preventing fallout will take months. Rods in a nuclear reactor takes ages to cool down and stabilize.

Look, I'm no pommy-basher, the whinging, whiny pricks that they are known to be. But back to things more serious, reports suggest reactor 4 may be bone-dry. If that is the case then we have now reached doomsday-status. It is denied by the Japanese company who runs the fucking thing, and they reckon they're on the verge of connecting power to those pumps to keep the situation stable. Of course they'd say that though as their value on the share market tumbles down...

Really? I mean it hasn't gone completely kaboom, but they look to be scrambling to me. Of course they're scrambling, pumping seawater through the reactors shows they are willing to cut their losses (seawater makes reactors obsolete) with them in order to maintain control of the situation. If doomsday was going to happen, it would have done so on Saturday or Sunday. Of course I could be wrong, but that's the feeling I have with what is going on there. The longer this plays out without a complete meltdown the more the Japanese have it under control.

Doesn't it say more about trust in governance and aid delivery than it does about any inate cumpulsion towards disorder. Of course trust in governance has a lot to do with it HF, no doubt about it, but the Japanese have a resilience and unity about them which is not seen in the west.
