    So are you general or broad?

    I’d say I’m more general than broad but it’s getting broader each year I live in the Hawkesbury region, although I’m one of the few here that doesn’t have a southern cross tatt on my neck, chest or back.

    Taint.

    But it is this strange thing in Australia where white, working class racist imbeciles brand themselves in some capacity - be it stickers on their terrible cars, singlet tops, or tattoos - that they're racist by way of a constellation.

    It would be like if all chavs got St George's crosses tattoos.

    That is quite odd. I mean, I guess it's because it's on the flag so it's a sort of jingoism. But because it's also a constellation visible all over the Southern Hemisphere, I would not immediately associate it with being nationalist and racist. Although see it on enough bogans and you get the hint that they're not just super into astronomy, I suppose.

    Well I mean... it's on the flag... I mean I get why they use it, they're just idiots really.

    The Southern Cross was known to the Ancient Greeks. It was visible as far north as Britain in the fourth century BC. But gradually the stars moved below the European horizon, and they were eventually forgotten by the inhabitants of northern latitudes

    Normal: 99 percent American.

    Fake English (London area): 55 percent British.

    I suck at faking accents, but not quite as badly as I thought I sucked at faking accents.

    It would be 100%, but it’s on, not in.

    Prawn is South African, as in "I did not have sexual relations with a fokken prawn."

    Also the word shrimp does not exist in this country. True story. You've been sold a con and you were too stupid to know otherwise.

    All that juicy prawn money is ours!

    Kind of like how they have their own word for beer. What a mysterious land.

    That was my point. That you're awash in prawn gold and will probably use it for world domination.

    Also the thing about not saying shrimp.

    So who's going to set up a communal soundcloud account so we can have ourselves an accent competition?
