Yes, it is a problem. Our Government has done some extensive research on it and decided the best way to stop it is by only employing salt water crocodiles to drive buses. Unfortunately the Unions got involved and protested for loss of wages and due to the lower working conditions. Apparently hanging out in rivers and eating people was preferable to the crocs and unless they were able to dine on the odd passenger, they were refusing to take up the new working conditions. Negotiations continue.

Yes, I've heard of NSW... I understand it is the State just Nth of us where Sydney is. We don't like them because they are going to come to the MCG tomorrow to try and steal our footy cup from the Doggies who are Victorian, and as such, naturally superior.
Go Doggies ! (not that I care much about Football, but we get a public holiday there the day before the game.. .YAY FOOTBALL !)

Rip... i've heard it said
Pleased to follow up and report that the Swans (NSW) were vanquished by the Doggies (Vic). I only saw boys of it but it was everything, next to your own team winning: a close game of incredibly high standard where the team who had not one a Grand Final for over half a century won. Hurt attendance at Lodge though. The final used to be last Saturday in September, and they moved it. We picked first sat of month for lodge meeting to aviod that, plus it's so memorable and easy to work out on your calendar..

Which kind? Here we have the World Cup kind and the Superbowl kind. I think you have the World Cup kind and the Australian Rules kind.

OMG.... you ignorant f@#$s ! There is only one footy game in Melbourne... Australian Rules!!!!!!!!!
But seriously, 20 years ago... that was true. Soccer was the game of immigrants, rugby of UK folk and NSW ... changed a lot now, but Aussie Rules is still *the* game in Melbourne but is also truly a national game.. the Friday before it is a State holiday...

Back before the 1980's there used to be brawls.... but now you get reported for things that were just once part of the game. They also introduced the "blood rule" where you cannot be on the field when bleeding, but when I was a kid, there'd be blood ! Its not for the faint of heart....

I've seen the game on TV. The word "rules" seems quite an exaggeration to me! ;^)
I get why someone from the US might confuse it with rugby. It is kinda like a hybrid of US rules and rugby with the resulting hybrid rules taken away and ripped up. Having played soccer the difference of plays versus near continuous action very much stands out to me, though.
Chuckle. When I was on my high school soccer team I was almost the only kid without an accent. Now I drive past the park and every kid seems to be in the local kid's league.
