Australia ranked 'happiest' developed nation again

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22685260

I would like this survey to be re-run on the 7th July, after their hang over have cleared and they realise they have lost the Lions series 3-0....

Forget about that... not going to happen, squire.

Everybody here is saying we should re-run it on September 15.

True though. There's no better place. (I won't go into all the details) No wonder we are all so happy and positive.

I feel sorry for you poor, unhappy NH folks. Cheer up you buggers!

If you need a lift... just let us know sirBiggles. There's some fairly decent land going cheap here!

With Wales being the 'happiest' undeveloped nation?

Most of the Aussies will still be watching the Ashes. Now if they get humped in that series ...

Linebreaker.... only a bit of banter honest...

Here's to a great Lions series ... Althought I'd like to see a 3-0 win for the Lions, I think I'd prefer a 1-1 after the first 2 tests, to give a finale on the 6th July. What a game that would be then...

Lets share a beer to a great series....

Of course Aussies are happy. Too thick to realise any reason not to be.

The numbers will surely fall, Pete.

We're a bit like NZ though. If things get bad... you can just get lost in Paradise.

Education:

England - 591.6
Australia - 610.5

Yeah, but we're a miserable bunch.

Cheer up Tiger. No you are not!

Consider this your second home, mate.

Being behind the Lions and having a pop at Wales are not mutally exclusive

I thought AussieLand was built on immigration? Right from the beginning, when they came in wearing a ball'n'chain ensemble cut from the latest iron smelting forge, down to the present with their Welsh Prime Minister

Oops, spoke too soon (or late!) again. My joke's been already done ..but with much more serious intent.
This here Guns and Linebreaker party is getting very icy in the lead up to the Lions. It's going to get bloody if this keeps up.

Of course, how stupid of me... Throwing insulting at one of the four nations comprising the Lions has no impact on the unity of the Lions. I wish I had the team building skills you have Cyril......

Yeah, apparently Adam Jones has just read this thread and is going to set Dan Cole's pyjamas on fire on tour. I can only apologise for my part in bringing down the Lions.

OK this is getting silly and well beyond my OP which was meant as a little banter...

Linebreaker, as a Mod, I would expect a little more restraint from yourself...

GunsGerms please stop picking a fight... There's no need for it....


Other Mods (Kiwi Pete) may be best to close this thread down before it gets out of hand... Sorry, I was only trying to get a bit of banter going here, not all out war...

That is rivalry between players after the same shirt... Surely that is part of professional sport ... Or would you rather he rolled over kissed Coles ar$e and say "you have the test spot butty, your better than me..."

Not comparible to insulting a whole nation is it....

I've cleaned it up.

sirBiggles, this guy does nothing but post anti-Australian remarks and then claims to be an Aussie.

I'm just standing up for my country, you understand?

I won't lock this thread but I will take immediate action against GunsGerms if I see one more derogatory comment - either aimed at Australia or directly at me - as he has done on more than one ocassion in recent weeks.

I was attempting to add a little levity to the post. Believe it or not, what gets discussed on here does not have an impact on the real world. I think Cole's pyjamas are safe.

I have nothing against you Linebreaker whatsoever but I reserve the right to post my opinion. You cant expect to direct personal attacks against me based on my opinions and not get a response which is what actually happened here.

Perhaps a perfect example where it is diffcult to portray humour in the written word.... Sorry if I misread the intended meaning and reacted unfairly...



PS... I dont think Cole's PJs are safe now you have suggested this prank though...

Still............... the desire for 'banter' is now gone on this one.

You tried, sirBiggles. Better now to leave it for 15 minutes and start up a new one: "606V2 ranked 'most ultra serious' banter site in Netdom"

Well stop ruining every thread with your intimidating opinions. This thread was going nicely until you came on.

As a poster I reserve the right to post my opinions too.

As a Moderator, I also have a duty to issue bans for any Member calling another Member a WUM. The penalty is more severe if you call an Mod a WUM.

Are you aware of that rule?

So I'll ask you once again - please curb your insults, aggressive posting and repetitive harassment or I'll be left with no other option.

I sent you a private message Linebreaker.

Fly ... agreed...

Perhaps its still too early to start the series banter going...

Australia is still the 'happiest' nation believe it or not, fly.

Maybe GG disagrees with that too - but his opinion carries little weight here.

I have no idea what the happiest nation is. Thought it was Denmark. In any case these things are cyclical and dont last forever. Enjoy it while you can.

What happens if you call a mod a 'fecking cheat'?

Received. Thanks.

S'truth.
Can't stand happy people. They are always up to something underhanded. Like they know something we don't.
Dirty ratbastards.

Are you all saying you'd rather live in Australia than in Whitley Bay, Newcastle Upon Tyne.....on the North East of Englands coast...on the Scottish border...???

You must all be feckin mad then...

Well we have been for three years already. When it pops... I'll still be happy.

p.s. I always thought the Scandinavian folk have 'grumpy' and 'kurt' dispositions. I know they have great health care, urban planning, clean environment, high SoL, lovely women... but are they keeping a secret do you think?

That's 13 weeks Cyril.

When I read the title I thought of one thing...ignorance is bliss!

Alcohol in Scandinavia is very expensive so it's lucky that beer goggles aren't needed as much.

They must have huge heating bills. No wonder the Polar Ice cap is melting.

What if you can prove you said it to another poster instead?

Luckily my rap sheet is pretty much clean so I'd I'm sure it would be reduced anyway...

Who let Cyril have access to a good shrink?

He could get a special visa to come here. We're always on the lookout out for more fecking cheerleaders...

Let us not forget that Ozzies are already bracing themselves for an Ashes mullering.

They'll be Ashion-faced after this summer.

An Aussies Brain (EMPTY)

Ergo....

(HAPPY)

Simples

Keep digging up that peat, DOD.

You're just annoyed that there's only 2 Munster players in the squad. Count yourself lucky... at least you came blame the inevitable shellacking on the usual suspect Provinces.

Well, I for one cannot wait to see Aus. Our tour arrives on 20th June.



All I'll need to do is find some decent ale.

I actually love Australia, the culture; weather and general healthy lifestyle and openess out there.

Go to my Pub thread, Hound. Anyway, we'll catch up at Nick's or somewhere else nearby on the Friday night - or before if you're about and up for it.

You'll be smiling from ear to ear.... come what may. It's infectious.

LB I am a non-fan... I will primarily be watching NZ and France for the Rugby and The Lions for some slapstick comedy...Its like deciding to watch a soap series every four years..

I'll watch the other tests too.

So are you against the idea itself or just not feeling confident of the Lion's chances? I think it will be 2-1. Should be one good game at least.
