OS4 Roadshow for Australia Announced

Fantastic... I just need to decide which event i'll go two... maybe i'll got to both canberra and melbourne? hrmm... decisions!

I must say that I’m pleasantly surprised that Australia got OS4 before the UK.

1) I always thought the user bass wasn’t as high as it was in Europe.

2) Brit has twice as many people (or close to) than Australia

3) It’d be much easier to organise an event in Britain because no matter where you are, I’m guessing it wouldn’t be a large travel to get there. Because Britain is about the size of Victoria..


And In Australia, the location of the events scheduled so far (including Melbourne which isn’t scheduled yet) only makes OS4 available to the eastern half of Australia, which I guess would be something like 11-15 million?

Although, I f you took into account the more rural people, that'd be much less...

So, I think its very weird I’m sure the UK will have one soon enough. If Australia can pull one together, I’d say the UK would be able to.

Funny you should say that.. I know two people going overseas for 12 months (Japan/Canada) and when they came back took a while to get used to the (read: annoying) Australian accent again... weird, especially since *they* didn't lose their own accent, just weren't used to hearing it

Fun you should say that, i had a friend that went to England or Wales or both for a while and she was working over there... so she was there long enough to get used to the accent... Then I don’t know where it was, maybe boarding the plan to get home, she heard two female Australians and she said it drove her up the wall...

but to be fair, the Australia Accent is very rugged, and is much suited for men. I think it makes us sound more manly.. so even us geeks can sound a little rugged, as if we've had some sunshine ...

On females, it’s no good...

but I think its the opposite for England. Its great on females and would have to be my favorite... I love that English chick on the Yankee sitcom  fraiser. Very cute…

But unfortunately, it makes the guys sound a little... well, im not going to say cause i'll be flamed like all hell...

I know this may be Unpatriotic, but I only heard about this fello, or at least saw his stuff, only a few months back… And couldn’t believe the stuff they were saying because, when it was made, it was done before all the politically correct stuff was around, and I had no idea just how much of an impact it had made on Australia. They way they used to openly curse the homosexuals and ethnic people… I could understand how disgusting people may find it, and it was, but you’ve just gota laugh at it… you’ll never see stuff like this made every again… they’d lock you up and throw away the key
