Title: Even the Kiwi bird is an Aussie.
Post by: firko on December 18, 2013, 03:23:03 pm
Poor old New Zealand can't even claim its nation icon as being indigenous to that country. It seems that the Kiwi is more related to the Australian Emu than the Moa which they thought it had evolved from.

I read this and thought " that's interesting " and went away.

Probably flew over .

Poor old Uncle Firko gets excited by a cricket victory and he's crowing like Mrs Michael "where the bloody hell are  you"Clarke.
Won't be long until Union starts again and he will be crying all the way to the t shirt shop Bazza!

You are the eternal optimist Firko....you should take my advice in the other thread.....it makes me laugh with the cricket.....the poms best new batter is a kiwi. I guess when you look at Aussie sports, most wouldn't be anywhere with out the kiwi's in there teams. ;D. Ritchie Mc would be a great guy if he was a wobbilly wouldn't he dude?.... ;)

It's a pretty sad statistic Mike no matter what angle you look at it.....I've done my best to get him to move to the "winningest" state in Australia and to bring his mum home but he just mock's me.....I guess it's that old clique "you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it drink".....and he is a stubborn old codger.....mind you, after learning to live with loosing as long as they have I guess it just seems the norm. :(. I don't think computers where invented last time NSW won Mike, even airplanes where just somebodies dream.... ;D

Oh you must be chocking on your own corn flakes, I'm a Victorian! So, Bring on the AFL! But, McKenzie has hardly had a chance to prove himself! I just don't like internationals coaching our national teams. They don't understand us, or the way we play sport. No need to bring up Soccer, it's for homosexuals and actors.
