Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hope all the Aussies on here have signed.An online petition is calling on the Australian government to rename their currency based on a joke from a 1995 episode of 'The Simpsons'.More than 15,000 people have signed the Change.org petition which calls for the Australian Dollar to be renamed the "Dollarydoo".In the classic episode of 'The Simpsons' titled 'Bart Vs Australia', the young ne'er-do-well ends up forcing an Australian family to rack up a 900 Dollarydoo phone bill as part of an elaborate prank call.© Provided by Huffington Post"Due to global commodity prices plummeting, the Australian economy is struggling," reads the petition by Thomas Probst, addressed to former Shadow Minister for Communications & Broadband and current Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull."That’s why we need something to stimulate the Australian economy and that something is changing the name of the Australian currency to ‘Dollarydoos'."Probst claims the name-change would "make millions of people around the world want to get their hands on some Australian currency due to the real life Simpsons reference, driving up the value of the Australian currency."Dollarydoos? That's a funny name. We would've called 'em tizzwozzers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most venomous snakes and spiders are very easily avoided especially if you live along the densely populated east coast. The more rural your location the more likely you are to encounter a venomous snake or spider. However, most species are not aggressive towards humans and will only attack if provoked. The most dangerous spider in Australia is the Sydney Funnelweb. It is notorious for being highly aggressive and territorial but in saying that there hasn't been a fatality for over thirty years and no reported bites in over a decade. In twenty years of living in Australia, I've probably seen a venomous snake or spider less than ten times.Mosquitoes are very locational. If you live near a river or anywhere that likely to become humid, mosquitoes will be the bane of your existence. You will have to constantly wear bug spray. In drier areas you will be bothered more by the common black fly, millions of them. So annoying. In my hometown January and February are the worst months for dealing with mosquitoes outside of those months they aren't bothersome. Sand flies are pesky gnat sized flies that bite people, they also lived near rivers and dry areas. They aren't as bad as mosquitoes but still very annoying.I haven't seen a shark in the wild. I lived in the outback for most of my life and have never lived on the coastline for extended periods of time. The beaches in Australia will typically have surf lifesavers patrolling the coast line making sure shark attacks don't happen. Beaches are often closed if a shark is sighted. At the very popular beaches there will be a certified 'safty zone', it is easily picked out because it will between two yellow and red flags. If you swim between the flags, you will be generally safe from sharks, jellyfish and riptides (amongst other nasty things).

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Can i just say the Aussie thing is tongue firmly in cheek. Wasn't meant to be provocative i just saw it and cut and pasted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I am sure swimming in the sea off NSW or Queensland is much safer than walking in the streets of England after 10 pm.. Of course if you can't swim it is a closer call ..but Id still chancethe water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
