Sorry mate, I couldn't help it...Sheep stuck in the fence is a favourite game of our near neighbours with stupid accents... But tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down...
That's only about 4000km, roughly 4 days drive from my house, maybe 400 bucks in diesel... Or about 5 hour flight cost 3-5 hundred bucks... Then I'd have to get home again.
Don't get me wrong, I've no plans to date your friend, I think more than a hundred or two km is pretty much wasting time.
Met some nice people, would be happy to date if they weren't so far away. Not really much women from this country here, even they'd be too far away. But who knows, maybe one day.
That may be so, but I seem to recall a certain song about London bridge falling down. Obviously, there is scope for improvement with the English attitude to bridge maintenance as well.
Here,there are generally two types of homeless people. Those with mental health issues, and those with substance issues. It's very unfortunate and sad, but the reality is there is plenty of help if they want to reach out for it.
We spent something like 30 million dollars on one family of illegals, as they drag the whole appeals process out for some years. Protest groups take up their cause, it gets a lot of publicity. But, we said if you come here by boat illegally you will not stay, and so have to keep that line to deter more coming. It's horrible, they seem like a nice family and I'm sure they'd make great citizens, if only they hadn't come by boat and started a family thinking that would secure permanent residency.
A good government should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time, which by and large ours does. It's probably much worse in places that have a distinct class system and struggling economy.
One thing I have noticed over the years, whenever you're watching an American film and a bridge is closed for repairs, they always leave a pile of dirt each side so cars can jump over and land on the other side properly. Given how much bridges cost to build or fix, why not simply have a jumping lane. Come to think of it, why not just do away with the boomgates and let people use the bridge as a jump when it's half up or half down.
Federation was 1901, your Bradshaws is out of date... As are your fantasies about a girlfriend who picks fruit. Left your run a bit late old bean, maybe settle for the knitting club or bingo hall. And just buy fruit if you choose to eat it, pears are pretty soft.

They must have been pissed off about something, maybe he farted in the church.
