[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 119224"] Well now that is quite the question. It is merely a case of thinking lazy thoughts, giving it just enough time to grow and mature and to treat it with tender loving care, keeping it short for a while with careful trimming before letting it run wild and free. Anyway, onto some more expressions starting with: [b]EXPRESSION SIX: THE "INTERESTED" AUSTRALIAN USED BY: AUSTRALIANS[/b] [url="http://imageshack.us"][img]http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/2686/aussiebx0.jpg[/img][/url] An interesting paradox because while Australians like their sports, they don't tend to give them the care and attention that most comitted fans in other nations do. Australians will turn up at Rugby matches to "be there" and watch the specticle but allot more will forget that they actually bought tickets to that tri-nations game and not turn up. Also, remember that when Australia loses at something (cricket, swimming, etc) they suddenly lose interest, look to those expensive premium tickets at the Telstra Stadium if New Zealand are shoving a 40 point score down the Wallabies throats and the above sight is probably what you'll see, only with [i]The Age[/i] because thats the most pretentious paper you'll see outside of [i]The Guardian[/i] or [i]The New York Times[/i].
