First World Problems
Onemunki says: We live in a world of genuine tragedy, starvation and terror. So, after hearing stories of cruise line passengers complaining at the air conditioning breaking down, what stories of sheer single-minded self-pity get your goat?

Bloody Australians whinging about 'pommes'
If you don't like apples then don't eat them, noone's making you. Just like noone can make me drink your terrible lager.

You pommes
are all a bit too noisette for my liking.
EDIT: Says the man who lives in a country where Fosters is considered a saleable beer.

No one in AU drinks Fosters, but AU does have some wonderful lagers (same as most places in the world I guess).

Too right.
Last time I was in the UK someone tried to buy me a Fourex in the pub.
I laughed.
Cooper Sparkling Ale (Red Label) is my tipple. Or Cascade Premium Larger in a pinch.

None taken.
Coopers and Cascade are 2 of the oldest breweries in Oz - in South Australia and Tasmania respectively. Probably built by British convicts...
Coopers is 1 of the few commercial breweries to still use secondary fermentation (putting sugar in the bottle to get fizz rather injecting the brew with CO2) in the world. It gives each longneck (a 750 mL. bottle) a unique taste. I maybe wrong here but I think from memory that they are also the oldest "family run" breweries in the southern hemisphere.

Fourex is a brand of condoms
Maybe he didn't want to buy you a drink.

Umm,
no.
For many years the only brewery in Queensland (Oh.God). The running joke was to see if they could sell it to anyone else in the country. Interestingly you poms are the only others I've observed drinking it. Most Q'landers would rather see their dogs die of dehydration than give them Fourex.

Australians take the piss about 'whinging poms'.
Australians don't whinge, we either a) tell ya to get a dog up ya or b) manipulate our fine weather to hell-like conditions so that whinging poms fuck off back to their dank, cupboardy nation.

I have no idea what 'get a dog up ya' means but I'm gonna assume it refers to the Australian national pastime of dingo fucking.
Of course we are jealous of your weather. Your melanoma rates are the envy of the world.

One thing I don't really get.....
the "poms" tell us we're all criminals because of the convict thing (I get that). But if what I'm told is correct over there you can't even carry stuff in the back of your ute, 'cause someone will nick it while you're stopped at the lights, and we're the crims?

More to the point
The first non-aboriginal Aussies were in fact English prisoners sent to build a colony as slave labour. Sent because their prisons were full to overflowing and their judicial system was fucked.
Sometimes I think many English people who pull out the old "Australia was a land populated by criminals" card forget where those crims came from originally and why.
EDIT: Imagine what a V8 Falcon 1 tonner would cost you for the congestion tax in London anyway.

Yeah, somehow you are really dispelling the myth of a whinging pom.
Our beer is gay, we're all racist and crims, our cancer isn't good enough for ya. Whinger, you? Never.

Remember kids ...
if both sides are the same colour it doesn't count as racism.
