    I'm hurt and very disgusted at this slander of the Welsh nation,as we wouldn't know what to do with a penguin,now a sheep on the other hand is a complete different matter:p;):D

    I should also point out in the interests of accuracy that Australia is very far from being "better" than New Zealand, even if they are deluded enough to believe that. As I always say, everybody is entitled to their opinion, even if it's the wrong one.

    Haha. I was just looking for some immigration figures to respond, but you beat me to it. :D

    I quite like what I have read about NZ though - it seems like a nice place to retire.

    Don't worry there are a lot of Australian who agree and are sick of living in the nannie state we have here. I would love to have the freedoms you have there.

    you got it: a paltry $1000. [sarcasm]That'll sure learn 'em![/sarcasm]
    ‘Blind drunk’ tourists fined $1,000 for stealing penguin from theme park The Daily Edge

    As always, pillocks like these guys are "remorseful" of and "deeply regret" their actions. But apparently not until after they have bragged about it on Facebook and not until after they have been charged....:rolleyes:
