Fascinating.
Legless, how the hell do you inspire so many of these twits?

Ms. Stella, allow me to point something out here. Legless (and, for that matter, myself and some of the other posters) has admitted his age, and that he's a fair bit older than the other posters here. As a result, he has a lot more life experience to draw upon for his stories.

Most of his stories ring true to me- they're things that I can well see happening. Some may be embellished, but that's a part of storytelling. And the real point of the QOTW is to tell your story, and be entertaining in doing so.

Offhand I can't think of a single story he's told that was too improbable to be true, unless it was an old joke that he retold- and when he does that he adds a line at the end to denote it as such. Therefore I really don't know what you're on about.

But be that as it may, you're really not showing yourself in a good light here. Please stop- it's embarrassing to watch.

I Don't Know Mate
they just seem to crawl out of the woodwork like cockroaches.

For some reason, what I write gets up some peoples noses and they feel the need to have go. I just hope that it makes them feel big and brave and it compensates for them having a crap, uninteresting life, sitting at home with their snot-nosed brat, swigging Tesco Value wine and eating food that's past it's sell-by date. Still, hubby doesn't notice as he's stoned out his gourd and playing X-Box.

Right happy little campers these proto-chavs are.

And me? I'm hiding from heat down here in Sunny Melbourne and waiting for it to get cool enough so I can go outside and crack a bottle of rather nice Shiraz and watch the stars in the Southern skies with my missus....

Cheers

Aaahhhh! Now it makes sense! Your Australian!!!
Aaahhhh! Now it makes sense! You're Australian!!! Your bitterness stems from a third-world inferiority complex and resentment that your ancestors were convicts and you compensate by making assumptions about other peoples' situations and bragging about drinking cheap wine in a dusty backyard with a woman called Darlene! Or am I just resorting to stereotypes born out of total fucking ignorance?
G'day!

Close, But No Cigar
I, a Brit, a Geordie, who moved down under over a year ago....

But the rest is pretty close.
