nah, I don't think it's a case of us being boring but more to the point they are simply scared of landing in Sydney being as it's the gay capital of the world ;) although after some recent comments I'm a little concerned about Brisbane's fringe suburbs also ;D

The economy would have a lot to do with it , how many people can afford OS travel at the moment ? regardless if you win the trip it will still cost you a shit load its human nature . unless the prize included a bag of cash to cover incidentals , also Yanks get fork all paid holidays or public holidays and the Aussie dollar being strong will also be a deterant .

It would have been a great trip but timing is everything  ;)

Jeez...what a surprise, another homphobic anti Sydney post from a Queenslander. I'd have thought you'd be above that shit Doc.  ::)

mmmm..Firko, you have quoted me out of context ;) if you notice I'm also homophobic to Brisbanites as well. Last I looked Brisneyland was infact still in Queensland ;) and I'm not homophobic, I just don't like poofs ;D

Did the desirability of coming to Australia diminish the minute Shoey arrived in the States :o



It was always destined to be a flop.
The offer should have been to come to Vic. so the visitors could experience all four seasons in one day.
Who wants to go to Qld. to experience rain everyday of their holiday ;D :D

Found this for you Doc.....

The Shaft Nightclub
Nash Street, Gympie

Quoted as being a gay friendly nightclub on the Sunshine coast

Maybe you could check it out and tell the Sydneysiders what it is like  :D ;D :o

No we are not boring ! if we were, why are so many trying to emigrate here!
What is boring? Raffles!  Most people are sick and tired of bloody raffles. Do you know anybody that has won a major prize in a " big "raffle? or even a second tier one? I suspect not. I also suspect a fair bit of chicanery with them >:(

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
