is "a sulk" the collective noun for a group of Aussie rugby fans ?

Yea, is the cost of living lower in Australia than here in the States? I can't afford my domestic accommodations as of late. :rapture:

Costs are quite high in Australia though fortunately so are wages. I've heard from multiple Brits who have visited or migrated how expensive we are compared to them and I think the economic stats agree.

Overall though we are doing so well as to be able to afford it, particularly compared to other developed nations since the GFC.

Not sure but they do turn into sooky la-la's when their team loses.
