You'll have a better chance of getting a Paul Hogan autograph if you live in the USA rather than Australia.
He, his wife and child live near Los Angeles

It always amazes me that other nationalities say that they can't understand the aussies language. We seem to have no trouble in understanding the americans. Actually, I love to listen to all the americans different accents, you appear to have different accents in different parts of u.s.
Aussies all speak with the same accent.
G'day mate!!!

Well we are getting a public holiday this week for Anzac Day. 
But.........mothers day would be nice, and it is only a couple of weeks away. 
Melbourne Cup should be for all of us, I agree with you 100% Pharlap

They've been paid by Pauline Hanson to make up the numbers for her!

Now, we all know that she hasn't got the financial capacity to do that. She's only just paid off her own debts. [grin]

Smart lad
As for Pauline, she hasn't got 2 cents to rub together, not after having to repay all that money to the government. Maybe the old fish and chip business is more profitable than any of us knew. LOL haha

Kazanne---you only hear the cleaned up American 'media' language. You would be standing scratching your head listening to people in some areas of the States and Canada.

Hi Zazzie I thought Michelle was on our west coast...and being an Aussie I was just kidding about the P. Hogan autograph.
He and his newest wife and one child...his first wife and multiple (6, I think) children still live in Australia don't they.

Zilvy On a recent television interview with Paul Hogan, he was accused of not being a true Aussie because he lives in U.S and hardly ever returns home. I personally don't think that where you choose to reside, makes you anything different to who you really are. As for his first wife and kid's, they all live here in Australia.

So why do Australians hate Steve Irwin so much??

Steve Irwin I don't think I'd better comment on him too much. I've been warned that you all like him over there. Personally, I can't stand him, he's a dramatic. I've been to his reptile park here in Queensland on several occassions when he was there full time - people over here find him very obnoxious, overbearing, and quite frankly - full of himself.

Actually, I think we should all squeeze in and get a group hug!!!

Kazanne I've watched his shows a couple of times and I agree....he is a doofus! They even have him doing a commercial that highlights his doofusness (is that a word?)
Hogan was there in September for
the Olympics...I saw him!
