Hey peoples,

Colin (boyfriend) has now made it to Denmark. He's already given everyone a great impression of Australia by:
a) Not wearing shoes, despite having toenails so disgusting I wouldn't touch them with a 10ft pole and then telling everyone that in Australia, he never wears shoes at all. Apparently 5 degree weather is but a small obstacle - he has to toughen up his feet you see (for what? who knows...)
b) Telling everyone that the national dish of Australia is MEAT - and not nice meat, really ordinary meat such as chops with lots of fat on the side
c) Being passionately and very vocally proud of the fact that it has taken him 7yrs to get his dreads so filthy that they're black (shudder)
d) Telling everyone that all Australians are really lazy
I think that these factors, combined with Colin & I's extra yob performance of 'Advance Australia Fair' contributed to many people's decisions to never visit our beautiful sunburnt country. But such is life.
Yesterday Colin summed up in one statement why he has so much difficulty with the Danish pronunciations when he said "the reason I can't pronounce anything properly is that I can't be bothered to read the whole words - I just look at the beginnings and endings and guess what the middles are going to sound like". Oh Colin.... you are true blue.
