Ketchup chips are not unknown in Australia (we would call them tomato sauce flavour) but they're not exactly popular. Salt & vinegar would probably be our most popular flavour. Do you have cheese & onion in America? Sounds like a British flavour. What about chicken? They're pretty popular here.

We have Smarties in Australia too. In my childhood, we only knew about M&Ms from ET because they didn't sell them in Australia until the 1990s. I don't know what they're like in Canada, but I bought some Smarties recently and they are definitely not as good as when I was a kid. They've clearly changed the food dyes -…

Zaphod Beeblebrox. It just rolls off the tongue. "Are you the Zaphod Beeblebrox?" "No, I'm just a Zaphod Beeblebrox. We come in six packs."

This. The law doesn't want to make it too easy for murderers, so the principle, more or less, is that you take your chances when you assault someone that they die as a result of your actions. So if you shoot someone you can't argue that it isn't murder because it was actually the doctor's failure to save them that…

This is exactly the same for Australia. So many of our great musicians, comedians etc never really succeed in the US, and the ones who do are in most cases not the most talented, but the ones who either got lucky or just made the US their top priority.

I can understand that Americans might think that, but you couldn't be more wrong. There is a lot of good comedy in Australia - we just don't necessarily export the good stuff.

The choir I was in as a kid performed on the Young Einstein soundtrack. To date, still my sole contribution to the cinema. I quite like the movie, although it was strange enough to an Australian audience, I can see why Americans would have been baffled.

"What's your name, dude?"
"Mar… Eastwood. Clint Eastwood."
"Clint Eastwood, what kind of a stupid name is that?"

This is not a new idea. McDonald's had a "walk thru" store near my place in Melbourne about a decade ago. It was a really small location with no room for indoor seating, it just had a drive thru and a walk up window facing the street. A few years ago they built a new facade so now it has a really small indoors where…

"I'm late for the trial… as in the late Tommen Baratheon… get it?"

The only feature I need is a channel which shows nothing past season 10. Wait, I have that already, it's called my own Plex library.

Hang on, Tropic Thunder doesn't even make the list of films you left off the original list? No. Taste is subjective, but you are objectively wrong on this, AV Club.

I'd second a lot of the suggestions for "where is" above, mainly Tropic Thunder, The Muppets and Alpha Papa. If I could add one that no-one has mentioned yet, it would be "Kenny", a little comedy from Australia. It was very funny, easily Australia's best comedy since 2000.

I worked with an English colleague who went to boarding school with Sophie Dahl, Roald Dahl's granddaughter. She told me that Roald would arrive at school to pick up Sophie in a "clapped-out old banger" (translation: worn-out old car), much to Sophie's embarrassment. It all sounded so much like a scene from one of his…

Oh there is definitely enough hate to go around. But the Patriots' incessant cheating is more of a recent development. When I was a kid, they were just a bad team to be pitied for their constant suckiness. It makes it hard for me to really hate them. Maybe the younger generation will grow up hating the Patriots and…

Collingwood. The closest American equivalent would be the Raiders. We all hate them, they like the fact we all hate them, but that just makes them more hateable. In the modern era, some people like to hate other teams for various reasons, but I'm a traditionalist.

In Australian football, there's a coach surname Roos and another team called the Kangaroos.

True, didn't think of that until I watched the episode. When your President's term ends, they are just… nothing. Moving in across the road from Homer Simpson. That's got to suck. This episode made me want to know what it is really like inside the White House the night before a new President is inaugurated. Does the…

Have faith. The Thick of It survived the transition when its main characters went from government to opposition. It continued to follow them in opposition and also introduced the new government, who were of course beset by much the same incompetence as the previous government.

I'm in Australia. I also has a colonoscopy recently and I have the bill here - it cost about US$170. Australia is a first world country where medical professionals drive BMWs, so it isn't a question of cheap labour. How can the same procedure in the US cost so much more?
