What are you doing for australia day?
 

So my favourite podcast is a breakfast radio show, and this week they're doing a "can you bbq it" bit leading up to the weekend and aus day.. And they bbq lamingtons. . . And they are the best thing almost ever. Make you feel sick type of thing, but still awesome. Heh. Australians should go bbq a lamington and try it. Butter on both sides first.

I'll say a little prayer for you.

hopefully ill be back in perth with my gf and friends
drinking and thats it

I'm doing the same as the Australians do for St George's Day.

How come the Australians get a national day and it's okay, but if we had a "Great Britain Day" it would probably be racist?

Maybe it's because we're convicts, always trying to get along, always trying to forget... or maybe we're just dumb...

I know no non australian board members will be doing anything. I just thought I'd post about it. heh.

most likely on australia day I'll sleep and spa and have a few drinks. cos thats a normal saturday anyways.

maybe this should be a thread just for awesome australian people.

mind you, most pple there will be pple i disliked from school who most of my better friends seem to have made good friends with...

likely to be gay

well, i have 6 hours of music to be written by the 22nd feb so ....... hmmmm lets see

Calling for Ricky Ponting to be thrown into a vat of death

There's a sketch involving Australia on one of my old Monty Python records. I'll think about pulling that out and playing it today.

Viva Oztralia!

I'll bust out my Midnight Oil albums.

I have a hat and shorts. I might wear them.

Um, I'll be watching the Australian Open coverage from Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on ESPN2 and the Tennis Channel.

Djokovic beat the Aussie Hewitt the other day.

stuff... that i would have been doing anyway...

it woulndt make a difference to yr team.

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

Im just not such a fan of the oils now that he's meandered into parliament.

But thats very aust.

what about the INXS?

I love their song "Soup 'n Salad Bar".


solid gold imo.

I'll just say a word of thanks for Camera Obscura records.

what is australia day?

I am assuming Fourth of July for them.

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?

Well that day.

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.

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.

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.

CANADA!!!

well last year my housemate and i were assaulted by aussie assholes. this year im not in oz so i guess i wont be in an aussie police station giving cops descriptions of assholes who headbutted my housemate for no reason.

do you want me to slap you.

Its not that different, aside from the snow and having to live next to americans.

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.
