Britain has invaded them contries in the past. Without the British the USA Canada Australia and NZ Wouldnt been formed.

Lol, it doesn't make them English though... Only Australia, New Zealand & Canada are part of the Commonwealth now anyway (with The Queen being their had of state) but many Australia want to become a republic...

[lynz]

Would that be why she said he is doing it for Australia? His mother seems to have an Australian accent and it does sound as if they think of themselves as Australians even though they, as most Australians had British ancestors.

But they have English roots though so they are linked to Britain.

No he's Australian as he was born there & brought up there... He does however hold a British passport because his parents are British..

A bit like me... ;)

Yes it is true. You can blame Christopher Columbus for descovering America. He was going to India and he went of corse. That is why the Native Americans are called Indians.

Not really. I get what you are saying but people from many different countries have emigrated to Australia in the past 200 years... There are many over there with Greek roots etc... Britain may have shipped its convicts over there 220 odd years ago, but people with British roots are probably actually very much in the minority nowadays, though I do have British roots as my parents were born over here, emigrated then moved back when I was a teenager...

Actually most Americans have Irish roots... ;)

[as90]

Not most, many irish in america became criminals, the FBI have been fighting them for years :hugesmile:

Plenty of spanish, scots, anglo, french and many more roots in america.

There are a HUGE amount of Americans with Irish roots... St Patrick's Day is MASSIVE out there...

I would go into funding of certain Irish "groups" too, but don't want to get into dodgy politics on here! :joker:

[Fuzzylogic]

Australians in my opinion are a far nicer and friendlier bunch of people than us Brits.

And Australia is an amazing country, I'd move there in a heartbeat if I could.

[SoBig]

Well then he is a British-Australian, fair enough?

[flamingGalah!]

No, he's Australian :D
He was born there & raised there = Australian.
His parents were born in the UK = British

He only holds a British passport because his parents are British, he will hold an Australian passport too. He is an Australian citizen, not a British citizen.

I am in the exact same position as him (though I now live here) & I am Australian, with British roots...

I agree for Australians and NZ'ers (except for the aborigines and recent immigrants) since they were English colonies.

But try and say that to a French Canadian and you better be real careful, people have met a lot of trouble from French Canadians from saying less.
Also in Canada the most common last name is a Asian last name and Canada has the largest East Asian population outside of Asia.

I'd say American's are more Irish than English...doesn't seem to be much of an English culture there, bar the language...you can definitely see the Irish culture there though.

I'm British although I was born in spain I've lived over here since 3yrs old. My mum is British, dad spanish, the law changed after 1983, but because I was born before 1983 I had to be naturalised.

You are whatever you feel IMHO

[AusFan]

Seriously how could someone try and say he is British when he was born in Australia?

Most Australians do in fact trace their ancestory back to western Europe (especially UK). And Britain didn't exactly ''invade'' us as someone put it, us Anglo Australians (our ancestors rather) were the Brits who came here. Many Australians do have a strong connection to the UK despite the rivilry we have at sport. I personally support the English football team (along with the Socceroos of course).

John is obviously proud of his heritage and it seems to have increased since he's been in the house (surrounded by everything British) but I think he's a true Australian at heart and just didn't want that comment to come across as a ''Us against them'' message when Big Brother should have nothing to do with someone's nationality, it's not the World Cup.

[Bigbrofan25]

:shocked:

:bawling:

Yes and those british caused all the troubles in ireland too and in other countries nothing to be proud of if you ask me I am ashamed:sleep:

[fizzy]

JJ said Britain was his favourite holiday destination, it can't be because of the weather, maybe he doesn't feel British, maybe he's just an Anglophile (that's a lover of Britain).

Clueless haters focus on him being Australian and get all nationalistic. This isn't the ashes

Hell yeah. Mr gameplayer had his gameplan torpedoed by his own Mother. A Mother who he claims is English and wants to move back here with him in tow.

Funny, I didnt get that impression. She's sounds more Aussie than Steve Irwin and her comment about him not doing anything stupid in the final weeks was very telling.

Told ya he was here for the prize money. :xyxwave:

"A Mother who he claims is English"
what are you on about? She is an oz citizen born in the UK. She's been here since a child. That means JJ1 can apply for a uk passport. Pretty simple really but somehow for you this all adds up to "Told ya he was here for the prize money". lol!! Make sense will ya?

[WOMBAI]

I think it would be a bit of a shame if an Aussie won the last ever series of the British big brother - it should go to one of our own! No doubt an Aussie won the Aussie bb!

[ange7]

disagree.
The best hm should win, whoever it is...and I'm not saying JJ1 is. Not wanting a hm to win based on their nationally is petty and small minded.
"No doubt an Aussie won the Aussie bb!"
Pointless given that in 8 bb au series I'm struggling to think of a Brit who entered.

[Zippy]

His Mummy was talking about her babba like he was an athlete here to win the gold for Australia. Which Im sure is how he spoke about it to her beforehand. Treating it like a gameshow with a big cash prize.

She just confirmed what I always knew; he is a gameplayer here for the top prize and will play every trick in the book(sobbing, bullying HMs he perceives to be disliked, fake romances etc) to do so.

GAMEPLAYER GAMEPLAYER.

And YES the final BB winner should be a Brit not some phoney foreign mercenary who flies in and flies out. He's a lying twat.

JJ definitely isn't the best - but he may win because the teenage girlies fancy him! So our last ever series goes to an Aussie because he is a hunk - according to the tweenies! :nono:Would make a complete mockery of the last series!

"he may win because the teenage girlies fancy him"
change the record. He isn't that good looking, people support him for many reasons. You seem desperate to attack his fans as well as him by making these sweeping generalisation. Try string a few ideas together into an argument instead of trotting out the usual cliches.

[ange7]

Well said.

:hugesmile:

mahahahah!!

I'd say American's are more Irish than English...doesn't seem to be much of an English culture there, bar the language...you can definitely see the Irish culture there though.

Actually, the largest immigrant nationality in the USA is English. Source: Ellis Island Museum... if you feel you need to check.

I know that - I don't think he is that hot either - but try telling that to the masses of teenage girls on this forum - whose tastes are still pretty undeveloped - hopefully, one day they will improve! :joker: Unfortunately, not in time for bb though!

LOL. You could see him cringe afterwards. All the work he'd done to play up his British heritage and desire to live here etc. Then Mummy cheers him on like the foreign invader coming to snatch the gold medal from under our noses!

As for her saying its mentioned in the Aussie press...yeah right. A tiny article in a low rent rag more like.

[karezza]

A victory for Crab Eyes is a victory for Australia.

Possibly because there aren't many stupid enough to travel half way across the world to go into the BB house.

I'm trying to think what the reasons could be. Because he picks on girls. Because he spent the past few weeks under the duvet with Josie. Because he doesn't even stand up to Sam when he is giving Josie so much grief? Erm - cant think of any more.

I think all who put their hands up for BB are a bit fame hungry. If they asked people to go into a house as social experiment but told them it wouldn't be televised some would still love to enter for the experience. But none of these lot. :P

Corin wins that trophy though surely. Fake tan, $$$ for fake boobs plus a fake gf. She needs a return on her investment. Her bank manager needs to forclose on those tits. hehe
I was meaning to create an animated gif of her during the save and replace task against Keeley. It would be her going up and down, up and down....

I doubt that anyone did that to get into BB. Many woman have boob implants - even in Australia, many have fake tans and there are countless woman in lesbian relationships. Who mentioned anything about the price of air fare?

[lynz]

"Picks on girls" No
"Spent the past few weeks under the duvet with Josie" Yes
"doesn't even stand up to Sam" No

Somebody obviously hasn't been watching BB. Missed him picking on Rachel, Sunshine and Corin (although Corin gave him back as much as she got), and Josie (crabgate) even though it was Steve who said it. Now even Josie is upset that JJ has not stood up to Sam for her.
