And we like to throw shrimps on the barbie...

All sillyness considered, there is some twenty million people in Australia, so I think I am probably going to miss a few people.

It's OK. I'm working my way through the Brits slowly. I get to know people at tea parties, though we only seem to talk about the weather.

British tea parties would be rather polite I'd imagine....'Say old bean, how about that dreadful cold weather we are having!'....'Yes old chap, it's rather appalling. Yet one must keep a stiff upper lip in these times!'

Anyway i hope he does another DVD for the end of the year.
It would also be quite good if stores like HMV started selling his albums.
I think he's gonna be a huge comedy star in a couple of years maybe even playing stadiums like most comedians are doing.

Uh, what? I think you should go back and look at your definition of "most". Because that implies the majority, and the majority of comedians work grotty little comedy clubs, and maybe some small theatres. The majority certainly don't play in stadiums.

Sorry I meant most of the more famous comedians, like Russell Brand went from theatre's to Arena's and Stadiums and Al Murray & Lee Evans also did.
I realise my mistake.

Do you have to be pedantic about everything ?

& @What Captain Insano said, it's silly actually because that was the stereotype for like Victorian Brits. Now we are all either like what Gildy said or standing their with our hoods up shouting at old people, whereas as far as I know Aussies still like barbecues, cricket, and the kangaroo is still living there.

Certainly when they are as wildly inaccurate as the above example, yes.

Yeah but it was obvious he was talking about mainstream, successful ones rather than making a statement about the whole comedy industry as a whole.

Really? Because I'm pretty sure that if I read that sentence I don't get the feeling of "a minority of very successful comics" from it.

I realise i should have probably said maybe even playing stadiums like most of the well known succesfull comedians are doing.
Although I do think that people who read it would have known what I meant.

yes you are correct. The 'kangaroo is still living there' but your more likely to see it adoring the side of the road as road kill than happilly frollicking through the outback or transporting ol' cobber Mick Dundee to work with his 'that's not a knife, THIS is a knife' knife on his way to his mates donga to throw back a few coldies and chuck some shrimps on the barby and watch the test match against the sheep shaggers across the ditch whilst shouting 'STRUTH!' every second word.

His new DVD, Ready For This? is brilliant, wasn't sure it would be anywhere near as good as his first but I'm pleasantly surprised.
