Aren't ya glad I brought this to the top again?
What are you up to this weekend?
This weekend, I'm still unsure. But I've been working way too hard the last few weeks so I need the break!
Are you going back to school?
Nope. I've liberated myself and decided to quit studying for now.
Do you ever go to a karaoke bar?
I've never been to one. I'd need to be stupidly drunk before I even entertain the idea xD
Do they have casinos down there?
Of course! Not as many as you guys have, but we've got more than a few.
Have you ever played a slot machine?
Nope. They confuse the shit out of me lol

Hey! I'll give this a shot-
What are you doing right now?
Um, replying to this question? 😀
What's your favorite kind of beer?
I cant go past an ice cold corona! But I have a few faves.
What's the weather like down there?
Its actually ridiculously bad right now. Right in the middle of a mental thunderstorm. Fun times!
Do you celebrate Halloween down there?
Yes! It is a custom growing in popularity Down Under. A friend of mine throws a Halloween party every year actually.
Have you seen the Skittles Halloween commercial?
No! What? WHERE!?
Is it getting warmer down there?
Yes, tonight was a particularly warm day! We even got a thunderstorm to top it all off.
Have you ever been on a sailboat?
I have not. Sounds romantic though.
Do you know someone who has hit a kangaroo with a car?
Yeaaah 🙁 It happens quite frequently I'm afraid.

Have you seen the Skittles Halloween commercial?
In the spirit of Thanksgiving over here...
Do Australians have pie? What are common pies over there?
We have pie. Apple pies, peach pies, berry pies are most common. We also eat meat pies with tomato sauce. Thats one of our national favorites.
Do you guys eat Turkey, or is that an American thing?
Yes, we eat turkey too 😛 Mainly at Christmas time though.
When you have a big get-together, what's food is normally eaten?
We like to have bbq's. Lots of meat!
Stuff like...sausages, steak, bacon, eggs. Throw in some salads..potato, pasta and garden salads. We love seafood too, so we always have some prawns and crab meat at the ready with a seafood dipping sauce.
Did you find the Skittles commercials on You Tube?
Yes! Very entertaining.
Is the weather getting nice and warm down there?
Yep. It was the warmest spring on record for us!
Are people down there mowing their lawns yet?
Almost every weekend.
Have you ever ate pumpkin pie?
Never. The sound of it intrigues me though 🙂
Do people really say G'day or is that just old people?
Lol. We really do say it. Not all the time but quite often xD
Is auto racing really that popular there?
Yep, we love it. Not so much the Nascar stuff, but we race V8s over here.
What the hell is a dingo?
A dingo is a wild Australian dog. They live in the outback and are almost equivalent to a wolf overseas.
I'll end by asking; Was that terrible storm close by? If so, I hope you're ok.
That storm missed my state luckily, but I feel for the people it affected 🙁
Do you plant a garden?
I used to grow vegetables in the backyard.
Have you seen the movie Crocodile Dundee?
That's not a knife...THIS is a knife 😛
Have you had to turn on the air conditioner?
God yes. There's been some scorchers here lately!
Do you watch the Golf Tournaments?
I do indeed. Congrats to your man Speith this weekend! A well deserved victory.
Can I have a hug?
Are you and your family okay?
We are fine. Not directly affected by the siege, but very shaken and disturbed by the events that unfolded. We watched the news coverage all day and night and were deeply saddened to hear lives other than the gunman's were lost 🙁
Is that Channel 7 TV station right across the street from the café?
Yep, directly behind it. They were the first to break the news and were heavily involved in the operation to come. Snipers used their offices and cameras to develop intel as the day progressed.
I understand that person who captured the people in the café had a long criminal history?
He did. He was well known as a self proclaimed muslim cleric with extremist views. At the time of the siege he was out on bail with charges of murder and sexual assault pending against him, our nation is truly at a loss as to why he was allowed to pose such a risk to the public.
Are you familiar with that part of the city?
I am. Whilst I live out in the suburbs, I have visited Martin Place many times and my father, brother and his partner also work very close to there. It will never be the same, we are crushed by this.
Have you ever ate pumpkin?
I have, I love to roast it with potato and onion alongside a nice roast chicken.
Do you remember fighting to reach the same feather? How da fuq you get so far ahead of me?
Did I see a palm tree in the newscast the other day?
No clue. Did you?
Do people have citrus groves near you?
Not near me, no.
Do you have a traditional Christmas dinner?
We do Christmas lunch over here. Half traditional and half Aussie.
What are you preparing for the Christmas dinner?
Roast pork, turkey, ham. A few salads and some prawns, crabmeat, fruit etc.
Do you bake Christmas cookies?
YES! I love doing all that stuff at Christmas time.
Do you like fruitcake?
I used to hate it. Now I dont mind it.
Did you ever think you'd have 135 pages of questions and answers with people on the Internet?
Are you going to watch The Super Bowl?
Of course!
Have you seen the new Skittles commercial for the Super Bowl?
I have not.
Did you go out and drink on New Years Eve?
I was working! But I did have a few drinks when I got home.
Was there a nice fireworks ceremony at the harbor on New Years Eve?
As always, yes 😀
Did you watch The Super Bowl?
How is your summer going for you?
Did you have a nice summer?
Indeed. Missing it already.
Did you get a nice tan?
Not really. Wish I'd had the time.
Are you working or going to school?
