Is it a cultural cringe? Or are Australians just not good enough? Why buy Australian when most companies can hire them? Ha ha ha. The joke’s on us.
Shouldn’t his pic be at least 72dpi.
Sheesh.
The British are much more clever and talented – look at their booming economy.
Aussies make it in pommy land, so why not a pommy downunder?
Totally in-line for on-line fresh approach.
marko that is fucking hilarious.
Aussies make it in pommy land because they abandoned our asses in the toughest country in the world, galipoli and world war two, tried to separate our friends from their families and when that wasn’t enough put trade embargoes on us and still think we’re a bunch of crims.
Poms just have an innate sense of self righteousness when they tour the commonwealth / former british empire.
History folks, history.
Read.
Ironically it was the Dutch who found this country, the Irish who built it and the native Australians who gave it a sense of humour. The Brits just dictated policy from afar.
Now enough hatred, most poms I know are nice, decent and appreciate our weather and women far more than we do.
whinging aussies…
Quote 2.55 “Aussies make it in pommy land…”
Sure. If you count working behind a bar in Covent Garden as making it.
1:00 pm makes a very good point.
Especially when you consider the amount of planners, senior designers or typographers that have come to Australia, blagged their way into a creative position and have done quite well out of it.
Maybe Aussies should lie more when they get to London?
Come on guys, some of Australia’s most talented creatives are poms … oh yer, and Kiwi’s.
Love your work 2.55!
