Well, my accent is kind of poshy and it seems like I an stuck up but thats just how I talk I love everyone (except bogans )

I'm surprised the queens English made it all the way out to the country but ugh, I love posh accents, let's swap.

I was born in Victoria but I've lived in Queensland for about 11 years now. That mixed with my "gay" (I don't know what else to refer to it as) accent makes me sound like a complete mess

Yas!! The gay lisp thing mixed with the qld accent is just a mess. I feel you

Australian time zones are such a flop
During the afternoon when I get to be on ATRL everyone is asleep

This!

All the good stuff happens at like 3-6 AM EST. I always come on when the fresh threads have already been filled and all the craziness has been locked

We get award shows and song premieres at the best times tho. Europe has to stay up until 3-4 in the morning.

I have been living in Australia for more than a decade now and I still find saying the word 'mate', regardless of context, very awkward and weird.
Shall I get my citizenship revoked?

i DESPISE the word mate. It's bogan and when used in an argument, highly patronising.

I never say mate either lmao. I tend to say man tho

How do you tell someone has a QLD accent? I've lived here my whole life

[Snoopy]

I've found not all Qlders have it, tends to depend on social class. Inner Brisbane seems to be rather neutral but the further you go from there, the thicker it becomes. Sydney is similar. The eastern suburbs and north shore are neutral/refined, but in the outer burbs it's fairly thick.

I don't ever say mate, I say "dude".

I was with family members (who I dislike alot) and they are full on rednecks then were like to me "You are like a surfer" and bagged me out for not wearing a cow boy hat, jeans, a flanno etc Likeee

And oh, they bagged me out once because someone cool occured and I said "Sweet" as in "hahaha yeah sweet", they thought I meant it in a girl way like "naw thats so sweet". What the actual fuuuk These rednecks need a reality check.

I try not to use 'mate' but it just slips out
Having attended an all boys school would do that to you I guess idk

Anyone in QLD been to Costco yet? Went last week and the amount of bogans there was astounding.

This one's the first for my state! Not sure about the whole of Australia but I'm pretty sure there's one in Melbourne probably?
And the free samples are so important! Got so much cranberries and Poppycock samples

By the way, I hate to act like in a "who?" mood. But who is Tony? Someone political from Australia?
