Real Names

Err, just so you note, I'm not saying all Americans are like this, but a few which I have met are. Bloody irritating.

kinda like the stereotypical aussie and his confounded barbecued shrimp :rolleyes:

few of us at the pit would take your words to heart, at least notuntill you repeated them a few times :heee:

I will be witholding my last name, as it is an affront to my Irish ancestors (well, it's an anglicized version of a beautiful Irish last name :biggrin: ) but my first two are Joseph Patrick. and I'm only 20

take notes guys, although i have known yaks real name for 3 or 4 years, this is the very first time i have seen it typed in an open forum..

i am... amazed :biggrin:

and yeah, i know his last name too :razz:

so i like to be secretive...of course having a picture up kinda negates that!

And no, it's not O'Reilly. It's a name that I have never seen in movies, baseball, football, basketball, pretty much anything. Although it was said on the local news once.

the only thing i am proud of is, i managed to NOT let it slip after all this time..

do you even realize how many times i typed "Joe" in a reply.. only to catch it before i hit submit??

i even let it slip a couple times in a PM, for which i apologize.. but you cannot retrieve a PM once its sent.. so i hoped no one saw it.

you told me to keep it to myself.. i did.

[edit] 4 Million residents is small?

There's always Yanks coming over here and complaining:

If you hadn't noticed, i was saying that 4 mil was big, and, as under my avatar suggests, i am from South east england. :razz:

... and there's always Brits sitting in front of their computers complaining. Pants.

hahaha, dunno where u got that from. Did you mean the typical aussie bloke, with his short shorts, mullet, beer gut, with a can of beer in his hand, hanging around the barbeque with his mates cooking snags (sausages).

Oh and my name is Andrew Green, nice and boring! :smile: I'll be 18 on the 4th of July!

Let's not forget the kangaroos! My name is Jesse Something and I'm 23 but I don't look a day over 22.

Ever noticed how most of the Commonwealth countries' stereotypes include a beer in their hand of some sort?

What, as opposed to Russia with their vodka shots / half-liters?

What Kangaroos? the only Kangaroos I have seen were in a zoo!

My name is Hugh Griffith Lloyd, but you can call me Hugh. Welsh name, I've got Welsh in my ancestry somewhere, my parents decided to give me + my 3 brothers Welsh names in honor of my Welsh great-uncle, I believe it was... and ehm, I'm 18, though people keep telling me I look 20+. Maybe that's because of the bags under my eyes or because of my astounding maturity. Yes, most likely the maturity.

Are you serious? I stayed at a farm down there for a few days (long story) and saw loads of wild kangaroos.

well I have always lived in urban areas and u dont see any

actually now that I think about it I have seen a few (in natural
environment) when I was pretty young and have seen lots as roadkill

i imagine you aussies have the same general issues with kangaroos, as we do with deer around the US.. with the advent of increased agriculture, the deer population has jumped dramatically.. we actually have more deer now, than when columbus discovered the place.. even in spite of all the hunters.. we still have way to many of them.

more elephants and kangaroos too. :dorky:

Let's not lose track of the facts, guys.

1. The most common sentence in Austrailian literature and day-to-day communication is "EH MATE LETS PUT A SHRIMP ON THE BARBY HEHEHEHEHEHE". No Aussie household is complete without at least three kangaroos and koala bears.

2. Canadians live in igloos, operating penguin farms on massive plains of ice in order to access the internet to insult Americans and support their rapping careers; the Mounties have a dictatorship.

3. The Brits are born liberal, as well as having funny accents and even better words: a common sentence from an Englishman goes something along the lines of "Oy, 'elo guv'na, tally 'o theh. Wh'od yoh loik a spoht of teah? Moyself, I'hm rahtha peckish. God save the Queen." Oh, and they LOST THE WAR!

Don't forget that us brits know every other person in the country - the answer to "Oooh you're from England, do you know Gerald?" is invariably yes :heee:

I Don't like tea :razz: or the queen.

You're forgetting the regional accents in the North - Manhcester, Liverpool Yorkshire etc.

Oh dear, can't you two see a joke? Honestly...

Only funny ones :razz: Honestly Mimicks SJ's voice

You're a bit mistaken, it's actually a moose farm, and it's classic rock. Once you hit the border you'll be driving right into 4 feet of snow. Especially in my temperate Vancouver. :razz:

Thread-Jacking complete.

<DIV>Haha yes, and mostly my fault. Made the convo much more interesting, though, don't you think? There's only so much you can say about your own name.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Hi, I'm Matt."</DIV>
<DIV>"Yeah, my name's Matt..."</DIV>
<DIV>"Whoa, is your name Jon?"</DIV>
<DIV>"Yeah, it's Jon..."</DIV>
<DIV>"Yeah..."</DIV>

Jon Alan Manning, 17. I'm thinking changing one of them to Weyoun.

<DIV>Whoa, is your name Jon? Oh wait, you're from Tasmania, you don't really matter anyway.</DIV>

Charming. Congratulations, SumhObo, you're now on my list of people to ignore.

<DIV>Good to know I've made a new friend.</DIV>
<DIV>Wait... you weren't serious, were you?</DIV>
<DIV>Talk about a coincidence though...</DIV>

what coincidence?

we were discussing des in another thread, about how he shared my first name, in spelling as well :biggrin:

ok then :smile:

SumhObo, it's sort of standard practise here to enclose text that you don't want people to take seriously in 'sarcasm tags' : [ sarcasm ] [ /sarcasm ]. It makes text look like this, and we've decided that's a way to make sure nobody gets all offended by mistake :razz:

notice that none of des's post contained in this thread were in fact blue :biggrin:

<DIV>Yeah, funny that, I was wondering why people kept changing colours. Thought some of the members here just liked to decorate their text... (note absence of blue). I apologise for my ignorance...</DIV>
