Obviously Australians. This is a well known trick of Antipodeans. If
you've ever been to Munich during beer fest time, or better yet, seen
it on TV you'll note that all the puking dickheads claim to be
Australian. Well here's a secret - they're not. It's a clever ruse by
us kiwis. In much the same way, the racist oafs you describe are
obviously Aussies, probably from Queensland. Anything kiwi about them
was nowt but a sham. And you fell for it.

Definitely from Queensland. Next time you encounter such idiots,
mention the name Pauline Hanson. If they're true blue Queenslanders,
they'll probably salute. If they really are kiwis (and I think this
unlikely) then they're probably from Canterbury. See if you can count
their fingers. If they have an extra pinky, then it's guaranteed.

Those damn Aussies! Their sneaky ruse worked!

Bob Deans. Keith Murdoch. Stephen Jones. Graham Henry. I could go on,
but frankly it disturbs me too much when I see how much we've helped
the Welsh only for them to bite the hand that feeds.

And of course, that all went without saying. I don't think you're ALL
idiots. It's only Nigel that needs this sort of stuff spelled out.
