I have always prided myself on not being biased against anyone but I find that I am against the Podeans, in fact I've become antipodean; seems it's got something to do with lving in Australia.

Have been trying to figure out the humor of living on the opposite side of the planet from the UK. Can only assume that this is a 'down under' joke, so you will have to explain it to me, because I don't get it.

Or maybe I am missing the meaning of podeans and antipodeans.

Woftam got it, he's an anti-podean also.
