Djokovic beat the Aussie Hewitt the other day.


Tennis is the most ridiculously boring sport ever. I dont understand the media hype.

what is australia day?

✌➬ 01.23.2008 04:43 PM

I am assuming Fourth of July for them.

Rob Instigator 01.23.2008 04:46 PM

when did australia revolt agains the british and declare themselves a sovereign nation?

I thought Britain was forced to give up all her colonies after WWII?

✌➬ 01.23.2008 04:46 PM

Well that day.

ZEROpumpkins 01.24.2008 12:07 AM

I boycott Australia day.
1. I don't like Australia
2. We shouldn't be celebrating a day where we invaded a country that had already been populated by people then declared it our own as they did not consider the Aboriginal people as human beings. Personally, it makes me sick.

Cantankerous 01.24.2008 12:15 AM

you guys are a bunch of english convicts is all.

So considering its not 230 years ago and you cant change that, where exactly would you like to live instead?

1901. we're still a commonwealth nation tho. I think its mostly for the sports so we can feel like we kick asses.

phoenix 01.24.2008 12:24 AM

and are you shitting me that you dont like australia?

I have one friend who feels the same.. but she wants to live in London. I can see the want for that, mostly since its a bazillion times bigger than syd or melb.


But we are ridiculously lucky with everything we have in this country.

perhaps not lucky. Fortunate.

make sure you tell us when your friend moves to europe,
its amusing how quickly australians move back to oz after they realise the stress n lack of jobs there

i love the aussies

As in on this board, or in general?

As for Australia Day, I'll probably just go somewhere with my girlfriend, or stay home and do nothing by the pool. Invite some comrades over to listen to the hottest 100 or something. I don't know.
