I haven't been advised, so I feel they will give me a cheat sheet

there is a buffet after the ceremony

They say if you fail to memorise the anthem you'll be shot on the spot.

Do not forget that there are other Australians who call it Invasion Day.

 

[MomijiTMO]

Invasion day ftw.

Otherwise Australia might be a few years behind. . . . Who knows lol. I don't find the concept particularly offensive but then again I'm not Aboriginal so I'll never understand.



EDIT: If I've offended anyone, I'm sorry. Wasn't my intention to do so.

Hot of the Press.

THE four original Wiggles - Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt, Anthony Field and Greg Page - have received Australia Day honours for their songs about hot potatoes and big red cars.

Makes you proud to be an Australian.

Anyone here want to change our flag?

Maybe drop the English language as well as the Union Jack.

 

[MomijiTMO]

lol yeah well I like our flag.

Oh another one - our national anthem. Yes it is pretty crappy BUT we've had it for so long that we've all come to like it. Plus, a 'better' anthem isn't going to make me feel more Australian.

Happy Australia day.

There is nothing more Australian than celebrating Australia day by suggesting we change things about it; language, flag, anthem and form of government etc. But, why stop there? We could also consider a change to driving on the proper side of the road, get rid of this pesky metric system and get Dick Smith to tow this great land mass (excluding Tassie) to the northern hemisphere.

Me, I'm going to laze around in the pool, put 'men at work' on the stereo, and have a BBQ with as many different types of meat as I can find - including those on our coat of arms - and drink as much VB as I can find. And, as the finale, I'll take a sickie tomorrow.

Anyway, it's currently 25º C here and the mercury will soar to 35º C, I'm grabbing a beer, squeezing into my old budgie smugglers and jumping in the pool to get burnt to a crisp by mid afternoon. Have a great days guys.

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Nah we need to get rid of all things Ford.

Holden is just so much better

That looks like it's just hold'en together

 

[MomijiTMO]

lol nice.

It's going to be bloody hot today in Brissy - 35ºC too. Currently 28....

Heh heh - sorry mate, better luck next year.

Surely you Aussies must have an AC/DC day?? Oi Oi Oi!

Melbourne for the Open is definitely on my list of travel destinations. I've been reading a lot about the city, it seems like a really cool place (with expensive housing

). There was also a great "No Reservations" on Melbourne, made me want to go even more.
