The only real place that I would love to live the rest of my life is Ibiza.

Welcome to the English language. Only Americans and Canadians emphasize every single "R". To the English (the one's who invented the bloody language in the first place) and Aussies in words like "Carly", "Sharp", "part", "porter" etc the "r" just lengthens the preceding vowel.

The other prob with American/Canadian accents is you don't pronounce your "o"s properly - you make an "ah" sound instead. So "shopping" sounds more like shAH-ping or "sharping". And the way you would pronounce Collie, sounds more like CAH-lee or Carly to the rest of us. you literally don't have an "o" sound. if you were to sound out the vowels "a, e, i, o, u" the "a" would be nearly identical to the "o".

But then if a word ends in "A" they add an "R" to it, for example:
Instead of saying pizza and spatula, they'll say Pizzer and Spatuler.

Never heard this before... they must be from Tasmania or something :P

I've heard it plenty of times from Brits. Like I said, it's usually when a word ending with a vowel is followed by a word starting with a vowel.

I've been through 49 countries either as a tourist, working or travel and while I haven't got citizenship in Australia, its home and there isn't anywhere else I would rather live. For those that dont know me I come from very humble if slightly murky beginnings of being half English and Cape Malay (bits of Indian and Malaysian) from South Africa. So I wasn't welcome in the place I was born and wouldn't ever be accepted in a place like England where Im actually a citizen without some grotty chav yelling out 'piss off paki' from one end of the country to another.
But here, I'm just another person with a bit of a tan.

I've seen people in other countries start civil wars from one end of Africa to another and the stink of death for petty causes along with the misery of caste based poverty made endemic by ancient social secularism. All the while women in what they profess to be developed countries called the USA clutched their handbags nervously upon my presence of being a 'dirty foreigner' who wasn't as white as them, regardless of the fact I was wearing a $2000 suit and worth more in assets than they could ever dream to be.

Australia gave me a chance no other country would.
I think it would be called 'a fair go', landing here in the early 90's after having to leave England to live with my aunt and uncle, got a good education for what it was worth, good health care and employment opportunities which, while they started small eventually taught me what I needed to know about making a living as a entrepreneur later in life. Being young and naive I thought there must be more to the world than this and I travelled.
Turns out there isn't really watching a pall of smoke from a my mothers farm being torched, nightmares for as long as I draw breath, couple of hundred thousand in my pocket, some shares in my account and having to start all over again as a refugee.

So I came home.
There's none of that crap here, I now own 6 houses and 8 smaller properties in a thriving industry which doesn't seem to slow down for anything called a 'recession'
You can make of it what you want as country, fact remains its been pretty good to me.

Behold, my arse.

I want one of said houses.

You can't get cask wine in America? Cask wine is the staple of underage parties.

We have something similar. Boxed wine. It is in a urethane "bladder" in a box. That is rarely drank at underage parties though. It is usually the regular hard alcohol and beer.
