Michael Emrys Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hiram, the advantages to having survived growing up on the Rock are legion. You grew up on Alcatraz? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 A lawn is something to park the car on, so's to have something to soak up the old engine oil. *WH00T, WH00T!* REDNECK ALERT! *WH00T, WH00T!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costard Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 You grew up on Alcatraz? Michael I note that Michael Emrys isn't far off being an anagram for Cream Pie. And Stuka is enboldened to cast aspersions about the colour of my neck... for a social climber such as he, denigrating the culture of his ancestors must be considered necessary for the salvation of his mediocre ambitions. Nah, this rock is named for the fact that it is in the southern hemisphere. Like that took some imaginative effort... Like Alcatraz, it was deemed a good place to send criminals: if they could eat rocks and swim home through the sharks then good luck to 'em. Like Alcatraz there isn't a single place that can be viewed from sea that wouldn't bring the words "f*****g miserable country, where's the bloody water at?" to mind. Close to 80 percent of the fresh water run-off from this continent runs into the Gulf of Carpentaria - where the rivers are full of crocodiles and the soils are so poor that "wet deserts" exist. The rest of the country makes do with the odd sprinkle and the hope of an afterlife. Unlike Alcatraz, no-one surveyed the place beforehand (some bloke called Cook waved a telescope at it on his way through) to make sure there weren't, just for argument's sake, some huge piles of gold lying around waiting for some enterprising chaps with attached Chinese coolies to exploit. We live on and staff the western world's quarry: iron, coal, gold, uranium. The society is built around supplying labour to the mines and ports. "The Rock" is as good a name as "Southern Land".

Joe Shaw Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 ...................yes................fascinating...............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzExactly, first we had the Coventried One and his endless fascination with posting photos that none of us cared a whit about, now we have Travelogue Lad and his geography lessons on, of all places, AUSTRALIA ... which we ALSO don't care about. We need to get a better quality of the lower class around here. As for myself, I'm in DC, in a parking lot, waiting for the staff to show up so I can commence training. Don't they know we start at 8 AM damnit! Luckily I have a wireless card and my laptop so I can ... uh ... well, post here instead of reading something worthwhile on the company website I suppose.

As for myself, I'm in DC, in a parking lot, waiting for the staff to show up so I can commence training. Like we could possibly care about any of that? How positively anal. I wouldn't even bother to ask what kind of training are you hoping they will give you? Potty training so that you no longer embarrass yourself at parties (assuming anybody is still around who is naïve enough to invite you to one)?
