George Bush and Hu Jin Tao are in Australia if you're looking for them
Quite a remarkable week this one:
George Bush arrived in Canberra about an hour ago - let me know if you want me to pass on any messages 
At the same time, the Chinese President Hu Jintao is in Sydney. Maybe we can start world war III 
George leaves Canberra tommorrow and then The Chinese President comes down.
This is very significant for Australia - its unlikely we will ever see both the US President and Chinese President here at the same time on bilateral visits in my lifetime.
George says Australians are like Texans 
The Chinese leader has been totally overshadowed and his visit was planned long before Dubya decided to "drop in" - oh dear

He probably thought that was a great compliment.

Why are there so many Australians here then? 
It genuinely sounds horrible from what all the people I know who've lived/been there say. The horrible climate and really annoying wildlife are enough to put me off.

Hmmm, a lot of Australians go over there a bit like the Vikings used to visit the Uk in times past I imagine. They certainly talk about it in those terms.

One thing we left behind in the UK was the class system - surprising how strong that still is in Britain.
All attempts to set it up here have failed.

Average annual rainfall where I live is about 700mm, which is roughly the same as Sydney.
A friend of mine who's been living there (sydney) for 2 years says they talk about the weather there more than we do here.

Yeah, no one in australia has any class. That's probably why Bush says that aussies are like texans.
