Accepted :)

The Ashes is small urn containing the ashes of cricket stumps. It's used as a trophy when Australia and England compete every 18 months in a test series (best of 5 test matches). Even though Australia has won more Ashes series than England, the Ashes are kept on permanent display at Lords in England, when they were originally burnt

All Qantas planes have Longreach on them, Longreach is in Queensland, a state of Australia, where Qantas was originally based

apologies

Hahaha, thanks for that. I was in a rush and on a rant and didn't re-read what i wrote.

Speaking of intelligible, it's spelled, "piece."Yay, +1 for me. lol

oh and is that long reach?

its qantas not Quantas...

gooooooooo quantas...love the k..roo...plane is so big and powerful...i would like to visit australia....listen to those engines sing...........wonderfullllllllllllll

Wow! You really can't be serious, or are you? I can't believe that an individual could be so far removed form reality and appear to not have even a miniscule peace of intelligence, let alone anything smart/accurate to say. Mike, go to school, read a book, or how bout you get the hell of youtube and actually learn something intelligible.

What the hell are you on about, why be stereotypical, you cannot say that without knowing an Australian Pilot has flown your plane. Here are some facts. These are Deaths by Jet AircraftsQantas- 0 deaths and a few incidentsSpanair- 154 deathsIberia- more than 200 deathsI guess i could say that i feel safe with an Australian pilot but Opposite with a Spanish pilot and also the last Spanish Air crash was in 2008-wow not that long ago

Australian bashing aside: I have family over there and the Australian people are frankly nothing short of amazing...Why was a Qantas B744 at MAN anyway? The only connecting QF flights we get up here is the BA Shuttles that Qantas Codeshare with as part of oneworld

I side with nupthatisit. I love Australians cos they a whole friendly lot. Qantas is renowned for being the oldest and most experienced Airline in the industry.

Oh, and just for you, MikefromMadrid, according to the World Health Organisation, the top 10 countries for alcohol consumption is 1) Uganda 2) Luxemberg 3) Czech Republic 4) Ireland 5) Moldova 6) Hungary 7) France 8) Reunion 9) Burmuda 10) Germany. Your country, Spain, was 16 on the list. Australia? 37!Sort of blows your stereotype out the window, doesn't it? Maybe we shouldn't trust Europpeans. No Qantas flight have had fatalities, but plenty of Europpean ones have.Common sense anyone?

What the fuck are you on about? How can that not be racist or xenophobic, you arsehole? How many Australians do you actually know? What are you basing your "stereotype" on, a bunch of people who go to Spain on holiday on Contiki tours? Jeez. As an Australian I am offended that you would think all Australians are too drunk to function as human beings.How about you get your racist head out of your arse and see Australia for yourself? You ignorant prick

The thing with stereotypes is that there is always a certain element of truth with them.If I was in a plane and found out the pilots were australian I would feel very unsafe.This isn't racism or xenophobia, it is simple common sense.

And you're speaking as someone from a country where every year you gather in the hundreds to run away from angry bulls. You tell me what sounds the more intelligent.

Well, then you've not only highlighted your own lack of intelligence but your immense ignorance as well.Have a look at the vast list of things invented in Australia, including the black box recorder, penicillin, bionic ear, ultrasound in medical use, IVF. Maybe then you can pull your head out of your arse and stop making ludicrous stereotyped comments.

take it easyI honestly didn't think Australians had the intellect to fly heavy machinery.when you think of australians you think of drunk people behaving badly.

What the?
