Cause all your talking (OK, so I mean typing) sounds just like all those proper Pom types from all the 60's and 70's English TV shows that filled out televisions over her oin the 70's.
I'm specifically thinking Steptoe and Son.

I couldn't comment about what they speak over there, there were people from too many countries to be sure. About the rest -
see this reply[^]

Come to America. We don't speak English here. We speak whatever you want to speak, write, read. It's all good.

This sucks. 
From the few lines you have dropped here, either the test is very complicated, or you are a sissy when stressed out, because I do not see why you would fail. Let alone twice !
Are you going to try again ? Is that allowed ?

Probably a combination of the two 
I didn't actually fail, the requirement is around 90%. My score was a little lower. I'm not a native speaker either, they probably deduct points for the way I speak (there is an oral test too).

Foster's is Australian for "beer". Done.
And change your name to Bruce.

Nope.
Foster's is Australian for tastes like s... I'm sure (hope!) we export more of the stuff than gets drunk here.
We don't seem to really care much for lagers.
But I'll still pay your joke. Here, catch - 24 coming through!

Same here. Quality is inverse to advertising.

Don't be bloody silly, that is the stuff we inflict on the rest of the world, don't drink the stuff domestically.

Nah mate, yoove got it all wrong. You keep failing coz your getting to much of it write.
Next time, go in drunk and not giving a flying-elephant. You'll come out with a perfectly respectable pass! Just like a résumé, you've gotta tailor the answers to the situation. The testers just know that something looks funny and ding ya for it. A case of wrong is right, or something along those lines.

Funny that you mentioned it but I seriously considered doing this. The only thing stopping me is it's against regulations to be intoxicated during the exam (though they may not find out)

Haha. That deserves an honorary citizenship. I'd have done so sooner, but have been busy being the best Aussie I can. Someone's gotta (try) to give MM a run for his money. 
Anyhoo, may I present you with your certificate: http://imgur.com/u4kyAVj[^]

Is Windows 10 just another pane in the glass?

The update itself was fine - but I suspect that nearly all the testing was done by people who like (and thus had) Win 8, and the problems start when Win 7 is updated because it expected me to be using a Microsoft Account already. I could be wrong.
Still an ugly b*gg*r though.

Nah. I went from 7 to 10 without so much as a hiccup.
|

So is a Microsoft account a necessity or can you get by without one?

I assumed you could get by without, but then it suddenly went to a login screen, and wouldn't let me use my old local id (the blank password didn't work).
According to t'interweb, you don't need a MS account with 10 - have a google.

That's what's confusing me. Some say yea, some say nay. I think I'll stick with Windows 7 for now as I don't see any great need to change (notice I didn't say "upgrade"). Windows 8 was no good, Windows 8.1 was better but still not enough to make me change. I understand that Windows 10 is way better than Windows 8/8.1; however, after hearing your story, and many other similar ones, I don't feel any pressing need to change before nearly the end of the "free" period.
Good luck with it! I'll watch your comments with interest (as always).
