I ask because I'm traveling to Australia and it's very hot, but it's freezing here so I *have* to be wearing so so so many layers of clothes to keep warm. What do I do when I arrive?

Favorite answer: Regions don't create personalities in all the people who live there. There are snooty or mean people everywhere in the world. And there are many very nice people. Brits tend not to be as smiley, "Hi, I'm Jason. I'll be your waiter tonight" or to tell you everything about themselves on first meeting. That doesn't mean they're snooty or that they hate Americans. They may react negatively to a specific person who comes on too strong or the kind of fawning over that American servers and clerks do. 

As an outside I don't get it. What did he do? Or what did he not do? Can you explain, every Australian seems to just hate him, poor guy, I'm sure he didn't want this to happen to countrymen.

You'll know that crossbred punk fella with a bad attitude? If he's an Aussie, well then I'm ashamed to call myself one. Can the Spanish fella put in his place tomorrow? What's your thoughts? Happy Strayan Day Dickheads. 

Favorite answer: All of the UK, our taxes will go up, unemployment higher, mortgage rate goes up, price of food goes up etc - 6 months from now we will be in a sorry state and things will be a million times worse. I am old enough to remember life before we joined the EU when we had 3 day weeks, power cuts, bread and sugar strikes and empty shelfs in supermarkets and high unemployment etc.

Favorite answer: That depends on whether the people are stupid enough to vote Labor 

A government report has been published which shows that Chinese students outnumber all other non-EU foreign students combined. The government highlights the financial benefits of this but they are naive if they don’t think this will come at a cost. You only have to look at Australian university campuses to see that they are controlled by the Chinese government. Look how comprehensively they shut down the debate of Hong Kong independence and used gang-like tactics to intimidate academics. When we leave the EU, the number of Chinese students will surely increase. This is worrying. They don’t share our democratic views and undermine the educational values that our universities are built on. Money isn’t everything, let’s not be sell outs like the Ozzies.

Also do you have any tips for a first time Las Vegas gambler? Places to avoid? Games to play? I’ll be taking $1,500 for a 5 day trip (this is the max I’m prepared to lose)

Suppose your car has broken down in busy traffic in New York near Times Square, then it starts running really rough, and then BANG, smoke starts pouring out from under the hood and the car stops. the engine threw a rod and there is a gaping hole in the side of the motor and you have no cell phone and the car battery was destroyed by the engine rod and flames. The horn and lights are all non working. Which three of these tools could be helpful? Screwdriver Lighter Wrench Fire Extinguisher Drill Harmonica Flashlight Hammer Jumper Cables Jack Which two tools would be helpful and how could they get you unstranded?

For those of you that think government controlled healthcare is great all you have to do is look at the wait time for things like MRIs in Canada. Or closer to home look at how the VA sucks. I have read stories abut old people not even being able to get MRIs in Canada because the government thinks they are at end-of-life and they schedule young people first.

In the lavatory, with your other half?

I’m looking at royal marine bases , and there’s not a single one near (South-east) London. The nearest ones are in devon I believe which would take 2 hours a day (or more) to commute to. Am i missing something? Anyone who lives in London and is a marine , any insight would be appreciated 

When I travel to Philadelphia, Washington DC or even Boston, hotel rates average around $200 per night during the summer. And don't even get me started with Hotels near Disney World. But in Atlantic City, it's only around $50 per night. Why is it so cheap there??

Favorite answer: They are really hurting and I don't know why Trump is not doing more to help them.

With Australia Day looking to be abolished soon, you can join in with the Brits.
