According to Wikipedia there are 22,010,766 Aussies.

Apparently it is quite easy to set up software, using good hardware. But as tomato2006 said, there are lots of servers already. If you want to set up a dedicated server, then I'd ask some of your 22,010,765 fellow Australians to join you before setting it up.

That was almost funny

$:-\$

I tried playing on a server recently and was getting 150+ pings and only found about 7 of them, thats why I thought to ask.

I shall rephrase my question..... How many Aussies have SS2008?

I must admit to being somewhat surprised by your initial question about the population of Australia!

To bo honest, for reasons unknown to me, I think there are less Australians here than there was before- some people do come and go, of course, but there were several regular Australians when I first started using the forum (come to think of it, lots of people have left since I joined...

)

I'm sure I read somewhere that SSE is going to have Sydney (don't quote me) so maybe that will encourage your fellow Countrymen to join/return.

G'day Bruce.

G'day Bruce....and no bloody poofters!!!!

Just a small piece of advice. I know that your terminology is perfectly normal in Australia, but the more conservative Europeans might be a little ruffled. I'm afraid Europe (and by extension, Britain too) is becoming awfully politically correct these days

(like there isn't enough to worry about on this planet at the moment...)

Did you hear of the furore after the Australian tourist board had an advert here which finished off with a tag line "...so where the b***y hell are you?" Some people here were almost baying for the blood of the Australian ambassador over it! Get a grip Britain!

NOTE TO GOD-ERATORS: It was necessary to use the b and y with 4* to illustrate the point of the advert. If the rules had been stuck to exactly, and not used ****** or the real word

then no one would know what I was talking about- which nobody does anyway.

Yes we were amused by that. We feel the PC is going to far. Next we wont be able to say a white person rather a colour challenged person no doubt. hehehehehe

btw...did you know the shelia in that add was "seeing" Shane Warne? Lucky lad

Most people attribute political correctness to America- but in reality, it was England (pre-Britain!)

The puritans of the Elizabethan era were just as bad, but concerned solely with religion, beer, houses of ill repute etc.

Where as now to deny climate change is a hideous crime and to not kow tow down to the 'isms' racism, genderism etc is getting worse.

I employ many people, including non-British white, black, and some people of a 'gay' persuasion. I was refused a Government contract because I refused to write an 'equal opportunities' policy stating my compliance with the law. The fact that I am one of the least prejudiced employers on the planet didn't matter to them- I employ people from maybe 10 different nationalities for crying out loud.

Can you come and work for me- I don't have any Australians working here and will probably be accused of Anti-Australian actions! If I were to say to you that you are standing on your head, you'd probably reply "oh how hilarious. Never heard it before." Yet I could be arrested here for it!

Welcome to Britain, so why the B****Y hell are you running away...

Sorry. I am getting off the soap box now

Where did she see him? On the telly? No idea who he is, but he's a jammy sod.

You don't watch much cricket then do you? He was dubbed by the British media as the "Sheik of Tweek" for his ability to spin the ball in pretty much any direction he wanted.

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 02, 2009, 15:17:06 »

No, I'm not a cricket fan. The only time I've ever hit two balls in the same day was once when I stood on a garden rake.

Either report it to a moderator or mind your own business. Kindly let me know when you have decided which.

G'day Bruce and Pommie Bruce. I lurk around down here from time to time, avoiding both Marmite & (god forbid) Vegemite, although I have been known to partake in Promite consumption.

Promite....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

I prefer Vegemite. Did you know you can take Aussie made Vegemite into the USA but you cant take British made Vegemite in the the USA. It has something to do with the yeast extraction and type of yeast used. Totally of topic now!

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 08, 2009, 12:26:53 »

British made vegemite? A false pretender.

Anyway, there is no discussion that is important enough for it to NOT have Marmite discussed in it, so nothing is ever of topic where Marmite is concerned.

Hello and good day to you, Mr Aussieseafarer.

SonarMB · « **Reply #18 on:** November 08, 2009, 12:30:49 »

Isnt Marmite a Beef extract rather than a yeast extract? We have a vile brew here called Bonox, which is a Beef Extract drink....as I said Vile stuff!

And yes Hello to Mr Aussieseafarer

No,that's Bovril here. Revolting stuff. I'd rather eat the jar it comes in.
