They walked around town in them and got funny looks from people, because here Birkenstocks are used by the vegetarian wolly jumpers brown rice brigade as carpet slippers....

 

Whoooo, whooo, whooo, sweet child o'mine

 

Birkenstocks are not the sole preserve of 2CV driving, pink-spectacled, pony-tailed, wishy-washy liberals.

 

Liencam wears them, and he only recycles paper, not bottles!!!

Apparently the Australian equivalent of chavs are called "Bogans".. :rolleyes:

 

It's kind of similar, but they don't wear the same clothes.

 

The Bogan uniform is a check shirt over a heavy metal t-shirt, black jeans, ridiculous mullet haircut and bad facial hair. They love crap rock music (etc Jimmy Barnes) and drive a clapped-out 15 year-old V8 Ford or Holden pick-up.

There are people in Oceana other than Aussies. They may talk like Aussies, and their flag may be very similar unless you're an astronomer. But they have class, unlike the descendants of the scum of Newgate. They are New Zealanders, and they win rugby matches and great sailing races, and rarely if ever drink Fosters, Strilian fer beer.

You forgot to include that they can talk properly without sounding like they're asking you a question all the time!

You forgot the most important part: Kiwis only use 2 of the 5 vowels. "u". "i" and "a" are interchangeable in New Zealand, hence "fish and chips" is pronounced "fush and chups," for example.

 

It's hilarious once you're aware of it. They just can't help themselves. If you ever get a chance to see a New Zealand news broadcast, it's like watching a comedy show.

Its fooking minging and I would not be seen dead in it.

 

Its not like CK or Armani really is it?

 

Going back to chavs again, what is it with us in this country trying to copy america???

 

We now have gangs on our streets, like the US does except the US gangs dress better and are actually quite hard.. we now have 'cruises' and people modding up their cars- trying to emulate The Fast & The Furious.

 

I find it quite sad.

 

It is sad but as long as the powers that be on both sides of the big Pond are up each other's arse, that's the way it'll remain... :loopy:
