[o2bflyn]

Someone educate the ignorant (me) here. What is an "Expats"?

Never heard that one before.

Here ya go - ex-pat definition

I like the one about exile, us Brits sent a lot of bad boys & girls out to Australia, Botany Bay in the 1780s - I think the colonies in Virginia were getting full!!

And yes, I can make the joke, one of my indirect relatives was sent at "His Majesty's Pleasure" to Virginia - he liked it so much that once he had completed his sentence, he came back to UK, grabbed his wife & kids & took them back there!

Another relative in the late 1700s was the innocent party, he had a wooden shovel & a metal axe head stolen from him. The 2 guilty parties? One sent to the colonies, one executed!

A point of history here - we can thank the Americans for Australia being a penal colony. Prior to the war of independence England sent their criminals to the US. After the war they had to send them elsewhere - guess where?

Not that Australians have any animosity towards the English. My best bud at Netjets is English. I love to remind him about the difference between an Englishman and a Catfish (one has whiskers and smells and the other one is a fish! )

If you come, you must be willing to make a sacrifice. By that, I mean you must promise to forswear the consumption of Vegemite! (I just puked a little thinking of it.)

 

[Semore Butts]

Just to show you what a great group of guys we are at Netjets.

Next year I'm gonna invite all the English pilots to my house for the 4rth of July!

One year we re-engaged the British in a 4rth of July battle at our BBQ.

My buddies wife was a smoking hot British chick!

My kind of "batte". (She is a smart lady and a class act as well)

That would be The Republic of Texas to you sir.

 

[gutshotdraw]

Exactly. In Texas, you don't have "residency." You have "citizenship." Eighteen months in Texas back in the day wasn't enough for me to gain "citizenship" but it was enough

And thank God that moron is gone! He had to be the craziest person I've ever known. Seriously, his ego was bigger than Texas.

 

[gutshotdraw]

And the Egyptian too. He was convinced the Egyptair 767 that the co-pilot dove into the Atlantic was an Israeli plot....

Cheers for th tips guys,

My missus and I have been getting over the language barrier ever since we met.

It started in a bar in Broome where she said that she was "rooting for the team in blue" watching the footy!

Or my cousin calling her a "great little pocket rocket" at our wedding (which was in the US) in his speach. (That's Australian for bouncy/friendly personality). Little did he know what it meant in American.
