Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there

Bacchus so whats the story, sick of all the tumble weeds down your way?

You might be able to help me with something else as well......

I heard a story the other day you might be able to confirm it for me, apparently there was an expat Aussie over in America (no idea where) and he decided he wanted to raise the Aussie flag over his house. But when he did the authorities threaten him with gaol (en-us: jail) time.....ring any bells?

Lets see if that can incite this thread closer to 1334 posts..

Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there

Zee - thanks for the offer mate!

matt - don't know about the flag thing, but it sounds very phucked if true . Doesn't sound like something that would actually happen over here, especially involving an Aussie.

Zop, you are hopeless! Wait, I mean, admirable - your postwhoring skills are most enviable

She must have been pushing the buttons of her neighbours a fair bit, I wouldn't have thought there would have been a problem with that.....maybe she played too much Ralf Harris.....

Seven consecutive posts Zop! Leaving the commendable post whoring aside, with a required 10 second delay between each posts you have comsumed over a minute of your life......thats some fair dedication to the thread .....

Or it could have just be desperation to hit the 550 mark......

I'm starting a mini poll, I'm going with option 2.

Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there

I did a few searches for threads with more than 500 posts, unfortunately you HAVE to provide a keyword and the most common words are banned. So I went with 'bike', 'day' and 'ride' in three seperate searches. There was only one threat returned in each case with more than 500 posts, so I think we can safely class this as the thread

With 375 Post, Second Place goes to (Beware!! NWS) (Incidentally our very own Will seems to have started this one)
http://www.fireblades.org/forums/showthread.php?t=438

With 321 Post, Third Place goes to
This or that...

With 302 Post, Fourth Place goes to
http://www.fireblades.org/forums/showthread.php?t=8308


But there could be others which don't use the words 'bike', 'ride', 'day' or 'hit'

Also should that have been the thread
