I’m so lucky that I’ve managed to stay out of most of the drama on these forums… I’ve only ever caused my own.
I used to occasionally search my name on the forums just to see what came up and I was always a part of some list that Whitty and the gang would put together.
A number of years ago they’d tag me in different parts of the forum, which I can only assume was to bait me in to fights.

You really have to see past the bumbling idiot persona to see what we all see… The Reep banning has been a long time coming. As someone who was known as a troll around these parts for a very long time it’s pretty common to claim your adverse to drama and yet still live for it.
As for my slag I’ve been a part of this forum for almost 20 years now and I lived in Australia… It’s a weird mix of British, Canadian, and Aussie slang.

I started to wonder if he was institutionalised or something. He was very weird.
And I think Reepbot did pop in the other week with a new user name actually. But they may have banned that one too.
And AFAIK Affable announced his departure (several times) but eventually actually did it. Of his own accord I think …?

Here’s a challenge, can you tell the difference between a Australian and Kiwi accent?

Haha, I can even tell the difference between Aussie accents from different states. Our talk show host is a great fan of their prime minister & her accent is sharply different from youse guyse oi oi oi

The Prime Minister picked the talk-show host up from the airport.

Do we really have state accents though? Sociocultural sure but regional? I can only think of two reasons personally that would make me suspect that someone was from another state. First would be someone saying Leeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyygo - obvious SA - and that's just due to the word. And the Greek/Italian/Middle-Eastern accent because we don't have a huge population of them up here in QLD.

Perhaps it's not so much a regional accent as it's the difference between educational levels or country vs city haha
State differences would be pretty minor unlike the united states.
Had dinner at Nobu in Melbourne last night 
so good!
so good!
You can get pahnts up here too though (usually from the snobby types) so regional pronunciations aren't always obvious.
Looks fahncy.
Everything was delicious. The few bottles of sake probably helpedLooks fahncy.
Yeah, nah it was legit good!
Have you ever been to any other Nobu's? I always wonder how the Aussie ones compare.
No this is my first Nobu experience.

I moved to Adelaide in 1986 after being raised in Broken Hill, so I say dants, trants, lants.
But my younger brother picked up more of his education here and so says them the posh way.
