When did Australians become hated?

tell your friends
There are British themed pubs in Aus with "the X and Y" sorts of names so I guess that's where they usually go.

sometimes
does anyone know if there's a UK equivalent of Walkabouts in Australia, for all the gap year kids and ex-pats? i bet they're grim beyond belief.

i went to magaluf on holiday when i was a younger with my mum. Its like a bricolage of every brit city with all the play and no work, a bar for every part of the country each showing matches from all over the uk, even a bar that showed 24 hr only fools and horses.
Nothing spanish there at all just cheap footie shirts and booze at knock down prices, english complaining the spanish don't talk english etc...
never been to ibiza but i imagine it's similar.
if we're talking about that sort of pleasure seeking colonialism.

It's only really in San Antonio and Santa Eulalia in Ibiza that it gets like that :

the rest of the island is beautiful and different.

But then again, I've had some BRILLIANT nights out dancing round handbags in Walkabout so I should just shut up.

from start till done
an australian once argued with me adamantly that ltj bukem was australian, plus also they invented the band concorde dawn which is horrible drum and bass so thats one reason to not like them.

funny stuff,

although i once had a brit tell me AC/DC are from America

What I've noticed about Aussies in London, running completely contradictory to their supposed characteristics, is 1) they can't handle alcohol very well 2) they whinge and moan about the slightest mishap as if it was some globe-shattering tragedy 3) they gossip and bitch like old fishwives.

Interesting. I've noticed that amongst the Aussies I work with there's a tendency for everything to be A-OK until something gets in the way of their plans and then they go to pieces.

Australians wind me up for a bunch other reasons that I can't seem to put my finger on. Ricky Ponting has something to do with it though. Pugnacious wrecker.
