Whiskye is a tricky subject. See, Irish and Canadian whiskeys are amazing, but bourbon and Scotch, being made differently, are filthy shite-drippings.

I think you have us Americans mixed up with the Brits. We like our beer ice cold and full of flavor and especially NOT bitter.

I will always be confused with your Victoria Bitter because its not really a bitter beer, its a lager. Its like how you Aussie's TRY to say Aluminium. Your saying somthing else than what it actually is. Potato, poatao, whatever...

Americans also have so many messed up words. :roll:

A stereotype of British beer is that its warm.

Over here, we call that rats piss you guys drink 'lager' which is served cold. Our 'Beer' is Ale (or Bitter) which is an aquired taste, and is served at room temperiture, the same as it has been since medievel times.

Its generally drunk by old men up north who dont like drinking carbonated urine like all the rest of the 14 year olds.

Sounds similar to wine, which so far I haven't gotten used to either.

Considering Australia has once again been listed as having an internet backbone worse than Mexico, I don't think we could even call it "Internet Provider" let alone "service" (which Dodo India never had to begin with, but I get truly unlimited downloads so I stay quiet)

data limits are very 1998.

I hear that your country's going to block out a bunch of websites and providers according to the news bulletin I got a few days back.

So the fact that virtually every Australian ISP now has download limits on their broadband plans makes us one of the few countries to do so?

Australia and Belgium.. that's some good company.

I mean, what good is a 50 or 100 meg line when you have a couple of gig data limit?

I read that Australia really is trying to censor internet usage (after good chinese example) and I can only hope that your government collapses and you'll have new elections soon because messing what you can and can not see on the internet is impairing your freedom of speech.

Good examples are Germany and England blocking certain Wikipedia pages (through complaints or court cases.) I think we're just very lucky to have "free" providers who base themselves on OpenDNS.

what is the world becoming? soon you guys have to pay to see anything other than the Disney website.

I'm using an English ISP (BT), and I've never had any Wikipedia pages blocked on me.

On december 8th 95% of the British internet users were unable to see this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Killer

n December, 2008 the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a UK-based non-government organization, added the Wikipedia article Virgin Killer to its internet blacklist due to concerns over legality of the image, which had been assessed as the lowest level of legal concern: "erotic posing with no sexual activity".[24] As a result, people using many major UK ISPs were blocked from viewing the entire article by the Cleanfeed system,[25][26][24] and a large part of the U.K. was blocked from editing Wikipedia due to the means of blocking in use. Following discussion, representations by the Wikimedia Foundation (who host the Wikipedia website),[27] and public complaints,[28] the IWF reversed their decision three days later, and confirmed that in future they would not block copies of the image that were hosted overseas.[4]
