Can't agree on the words to their anthem, when they can be bothered to sing them.

Do not sing at all but prefer a large brass band to perform the anthem.

Spend most of their lives glued to the idiot box.

Don't, but only because they can't get more American channels.

Add "G'day", "mate" and a heavy accent to everything they say in an attempt to get laid.
