[DomLuka] The Lo(n)g Way

[Davey]

Just a quick note to let you know that not all "British" people are sarcastically snooty like primewordsmith. Just for the record his bio reads Sydney Australia, part of the commonwealth but not Britain! So he can step away from the silverwear before Queen Liz sets the corgies on him!

Im sure he's a good soul underneath, Just a pitty danaholics are evil!

Im british, A Domaholic and proud!

 

Luv you guys

Dave: and we love ya too:) and you are cute British Guy and there are lots of that..we were just having fun with Primewordsmith and he with us....maybe he is from one of the old Australian families that started out in a penal colony (i just like saying penal..legal term too..LOL) and well, it was kinda funny...and we have had fun teasing him back...you have lots of English and Scottish hunks.....from George Michael...David Furnish....David Beckham, the heir and the spare......Ian McClellan..and so of course you:) so we don't mind....I am sure I am leaving out tons of you hotties..and of course let's not forget our own Boy Needs Therapy and his S/O...its all good:)

 

and Sharon took care of Primewordsmith......in her own Sharon like mother like cool but smart and nice way.......so the poor boy is probably snuggling with his teddy bear (I do love snuggly teddy bears) and he needs comforting for being a bad boy......well, maybe he is snuggling with his S/O and being a bad boy..but that's another story for which I think I better not go into...play on words is enough..hee hee.

Dave..you are soo funny and its true..I heard that Tony and George were picking out china patterns and are going to be the first to register for domestic partners when UK allows that....shhh..don't tell Elton John and David Furnish..they will pitch a fit......and certainly not the Saudi Prince whom George is dating and holding his hand in public..no wonder that Laura Bush says she is a Desperate Housewife!

 

in any event, look at it this way, I can't believe America elected George Bush President ( I didn't say elected him again......he was selected in 2000 by 5 people on the US Supreme Court) and had some help from funny voting machines this time around.......George and Tony up each others butts and k-i-s-s-i-n-g in a tree....ugh.........way too much for we Gays to contemplate and think about..yucko!

 

and you are also very sweet Dave:)

 

Rainbow Hugs and Hershey Kisses and Rainbow Jelly Beans:)

I love Australia. Sydney is one of my top 3 favorite cities...just awesome. When I've been there, though, I can't ever remember encountering someone like PWS. Are there groups of hard-core English wannabes in every Commonwealth country? In the Midwest, I often find people who were, or desperately want to be something else...ie, a New Yorker, a Californian, etc. Just wondered if that's how it is in The Commonwealth?

[lobaiga]

I don't know where to start..........so much has annoyed me in some of the above posts.

 

I am so mad that PWS has given the impression that Aussies are all pompous fools. Not all of us are like that!

 

For the most part I find Australians to be down to earth, tolerant and loving of a good debate.

Holy sheet! Mark and I actually have something in common. Wonders never cease. Mark will no doubt change his opinion now!

 

I love Australia as well. Great people! Sydney is a gorgeous city...and the Sydney beaches....so many men, so short was my visit.

 

In Canada, we have monarchists - basically people who are loyal to the British monarchy, but more from the point of view of history and tradition as opposed to wanting to be a part of Britain. The Head of State in Canada remains Her Majesty, Queen Liz Deux. But that's more titular than anything else. I believe Australia ousted the Queen as their Head of State a few years back, but remain a member of the Commonwealth.

 

If you ever visit Victoria, the capital city of my home province, British Columbia, located on Vancouver Island, you will find the largest concentration of monarchists outside Britain. :king:

 

Australia likes the Commomwealth because when we hold the Commonwealth Games, they kick everyone's ass. Figuratively and literally. You see, the US and other sports competitive countries , not being part of the Commonwealth, cannot compete at these Games.

 

That's ok, we love them anyways.

 

Canada did not support Bush (and Blair I suppose) when the US invaded Iraq. Canada wanted UN support first and that never happened. I do not know Australia's position on this issue.

 

Canadians are happy to be Canadian and I get that Aussies are happy to be Australian.

 

Canadians are more concerned about becoming americanized than anglicized. Personally, I have always been pleased that Americans are beneath us.....geographically speaking, I mean.

Lore..I can't speak for anyone else..but I certainly don't think Australians are pompous..we are jut having fun withe Primewordsmith.......he just made it easy......and funny....so fear not, Lore, we love ya..and pardon the pun, but Primewordsmith has proven to be a good straight man......he just lobs those one liners and gets smacked in the butt and other places with all our responses......by now, if he isn't wearing a few protective cups he should be...it's not nice to get Sharon or Kitty mad....so its just we blokes having some fun....Sharon took short shrift of the lad and I still swear he is hiding under his blankies (and if he terrorizes the teddy bears that he may have.he will have me to answer to!)

 

so, Lore, you are always way cool in my book and I am sure most Australians are...hey we have George Bush and Dick Cheney, so we Americans have our pompous dummies too:)

 

 

Rainbow Sunshine sent your way:)

 

Michael

[lobaiga]

Unfortunately Conner, Australia followed Bush all the way too. And Dave, you will have to fight Australia for the 'honour' of being the 51st state.

 

Thanks Michael, I know we will not all be judged by the insults of one.

 

And Melbourne is a great place too!

What in blazes are we talking about on this thread ? This has gone around the world and taken on so many different directions I can't think straight (plus I really wouldn't want too since I'm gay).

 

I will say that no matter our b*tchiness and our differences, when it comes to the defense of Domsville we are all united under the phrase 'Don't mess with Domlukaland'.

 

So back on topic....TLW

Dave: we were just having fun with Primewordsmith and he with us....maybe he is from one of the old Australian families that started out in a penal colony (i just like saying penal..legal term too..LOL) and well, it was kinda funny...and we have had fun teasing him back...

Michael

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The British have a great deal to answer for. And it is a long established practice for Aussies to "take the piss" out of the Pommies.

 

Give the man a jelly bean, for the one who bothered to notice that Primewordsmith resides near Sydney Australia.

 

But who is going to claim the prize for clicking on some of Primewordsmith's other postings and noting that his name is actually Yoshi Torriati.

 

And who is going to claim the prize for realising that the first chapter of Honor, posted in the Library on this website, actually describes his greatgrandfather and his father. And that certainly was nowhere near the British sphere of influence.

 

So no. Primewordsmith does not come from one of those old aussie families which were largely only greedy rapists out from Britain for a quick and bloody buck.

 

My Aussie born friends insist I point out that while convicts were used as indentured labourers when the British first established their naval station on the east coast of New Holland, and while attrocities were committed on the native population like happened in all the colonising powers' "possessions" of those centuries, slavery was ALWAYS illegal in Australia.

 

None of the colonies in Australia was ever founded on slavery, unlike certain slave colonies the French, the Spanish, and others, established on the North American continent.

 

So while it is a time-honoured Aussie pastime to take the piss out of the poms, it has not been unknown for the cousins across the Pacific to take the mickey out of the limeys. So cousins, we should be in agreement here.

 

It was pleasing to see that at least someone recognises irony as humour.

 

But as for a Scotsman saying he is proud to align himself with the Sassenachs who invaded his country from the south:

 

"Well, Never!! Never, have I heard such traitorous bile from a true Gael!!"

 

Although the current Australian Prime Minister, with his lap-dog behaviour towards the current North American Emperor, raises the bile of most Australians.

 

Oh, 'irony' is well defined in most good English dictionaries. It might even be in Webster's, for those who are unfamiliar with it as a literary form.

Ah PWS,

 

You're such an arrogant ass in a cute kind of way. No wonder you hang out with DK. Birds of a feather...... You realize of course that none of us really bothered to go to your profile or read up on your family geneaology, right? Perhaps I'll traipse on over and see what it's all about, and find out why the silver is plate and not sterling.

 

In the meantime, if your breeding is equivalent to your attitude you will no doubt have, beneath the pomposity, a well developed set of manners. When you next forage into Domalukaland, I suggest you tap that knowledge. Being such a boor will never do, don't you agree?

Dearest Mark

 

Let me spell it out.

 

I was taking the piss out of the upperclass Brits. That's the way they carry on. And I don't like all that snootiness just as much as the rest of all sane reasonable people don't.

 

But it does surprise me a little that Downlucklanders (whoops, I mean DomLukaLanders), couldn't see I was using irony, and making fun of the aristocatty Brits, with all their snobbish arrogant carry-on.

 

Maybe I was just too good at immitating their arrogance. Sigh!

 

Oh, and thank you for comparing DK with me. I'm sure Dan will be flattered.

 

{and incidentally, that was more irony! - I'm the one who is actually flattered by the comparison!!}

I believe Australia ousted the Queen as their Head of State a few years back, but remain a member of the Commonwealth.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

That "belief" is almost enough to make a person think there might be at least a grain of truth in the Yankee saying "Never trust a Kanuk".

 

Australians rejected the republican proposal at the national referundum, mainly because they didn't like the idea of going backwards to a North American style of republic, and because they feel a certain amount of affection for Liz. When Jug-ears gets in (if that ever happens), things will definitely be different and the question will be revisited. In the meantime Elizabeth remains Queen of Australia, and Head of State of each separate state as well (just to make things just about constitutionally impossible to change).

 

Australians, like Canadians, prefer a good parliamentary democracy over a lousy republican oligarchy anyday.

 

And that is prefered, even though Australians are stuck with Bush's lap-dog, little Johnny Howard, at the moment, and Canadians got stuck with Pierre Trudeau for a while.

Dearest Yoshi,

 

I have no difficulty with being corrected. Ignorance and misunderstanding only breed fear and mistrust. That you agree with this statement is evident in the several lectures that you have seen fit to bestow upon us.

 

My intent was to take them in stride and do better.

 

However, to then procede to engage in the very practice you condemn leads me to the consideration that much of what you have given us is little more than pompous rhetoric.

 

In the firstplace, Yankees don't trust anyone, most especially since 9-11. While some of their mistrust may be attributed to their innate sense of paranoia and their inability to understand why foreign powers prefer to run their own countries, they are in large measure justified in this stance.

 

If they trust anyone, it would be we Canadians. Even Bad Weather Mark has admitted to practicing his Canadian accent when about to travel abroad. It would be foolish to do otherwise. The risk/benefit ratio of standing out as an American in many countries of this world is simply too high.

 

And yet the Yankee dollar is accepted, in fact demanded in some countries, worldwide. While we Canadians did not support Bush in his invasion of Iraq, there's not a man, woman or child in this fair land who doesn't breathe easier now that Saddam Hussein is under American lock and key. It is, for me at least, difficult to reconcile these two diametrically opposed positions. It seems we get our cake and eat it too.

 

Pierre Trudeau passed away not too long ago. The grief that swept the country and the homage paid to this man would be the envy of any American president. Canadian history has already judged him to be one of the finest leaders this country, or any other, has ever produced.

 

I can only trust, being a fellow member of the Commonwealth, that you will give my observations the consideration that they rightly deserve and conduct yourself accordingly.

 

Hugs,

Conner

I love Australia.  Sydney is one of my top 3 favorite cities...just awesome.  When I've been there, though, I can't ever remember encountering someone like PWS. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Oh, It was you was it Tiga.

 

You know you got a mention in the Sydney Morning Herald last time you were over here.

 

They didn't have a name to put to the person seen trying to steal the Harbour Bridge, but they did get a rather blurry photo. And guess what? I recognise YOU. The attempted thief in that blurry photo is just the same as in your avatar.

 

I'm sure the dental records would be proof conclusive.

 

You just wait til next time you try walking through customs at Kingsford Smith airport!!

 

Nyyyhhhhhhaaaa!!!

 

And you never know, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) might even pass on the info to Office of Homeland Security!!!!

 

Ha! That might cool your ardour for kanuk female dogs who don't seem to realise the Yankee dollar has gone down the gurgler recently

 

You might get a free all expenses paid holiday to Guantanamo Bay compliments of George Dubya

 

Have fun mon amigo!!

 

You don't mind a little bit of Latin do you? Course it might be that the Latin would like a bit of you - in a pickle jar, or something...

Just for the record PWS I maybe a scotsman, but I don't hate the English, mostly cause my S/O is English.

And as for Australia, I love your country, you people know how to live. You have the kind of culture other countrys would kill for. Hope Bush and Blair don't read this, might give them some ideas . Whilst it maybe fun to throw a few insults around here, I still love you guys.

And not just any crumbs, but cake crumbs at that!

"Let them eat Cake." Attributed to Queen Marie-Antoinette when she heard about the French Revolution, or something stupid like that.

I understand Her Majesty was thought to have made that infamous comment, when told the general population were starving, because they had no bread. It was probably this attitude she shared with others of the aristocracy, which permitted the French revolution to succeed.

 

Which leads one to wonder, with the level of poverty, ill-health, uneducation, no shelter, and lack of food and heating, found in so many major North American cities for so many people, just how long it might be before North America suffers its next revolution, and subsequential civil war.

 

When we hear some of the extraordinary utterances made by His Majesty the current emperor of North America, it could seem that an attitude, similar to Marie-Antoinette's, might still prevail in some high circles.

 

Of course, that well-known Australian export, Rupert the Fox, never informs the North American public of anything which might upset his cosy relationship with the currently governing cabal.

 

People need to reside outside Florida and its other united states to hear those sorts of things.

 

One has to wonder!

 

PWS

My dearest dearest Conner

 

Of course I will treat you always with the greatest of respect.

 

Regretably I am not a member of this Commonwealth you speak about, but I would be delighted to behave towards you in the way in which you would like to become accustomed.

 

You do know, perhaps, that News Corporation (which owns Fox & Warner and other notable free enterprises in the North American Empire) is Australian owned.

 

Perhaps this salient fact has been kept from the members of the land of the free. US news is determined by Australian interests.

 

Presumably, the Canadian penchant for eating cake dates back to the time of the French Queen Marie-Antoinette . Must be the still pervasive French influence in Canada. Although Marie-Antoinette was actually Florentine - so it was really all the Italians' fault. As usual.

 

I mean, the Italians did not hesitate to get into bed with the Germans 70 years ago, and now they got another German in bed with them big-time just a couple of weeks ago.

 

Which just goes to prove that all this dickering about nationalities is pure unadulterated shrub droppings (not to be confused with desert droppings, of course).

 

Sorry to hear about Pierre. It was that really stupendous, if cantankerous, Canadian writer John Ellison, who led me to believe that Monsieur Pierre was not popular with his subjects. John (in the HMCS Aurora series) certainly lets us know in no uncertain terms that M. Trudeau was single handedly responsible for the complete emasculation of the Canadian Armed Forces. It was people around me at that time, griping about M. Trudeau, which first caused me to hear that fascinating name: "Canada".

 

Again, my apologies. No disrespect for the departed intended whatsoever.

PWS
