Australia Day
-
Tommorrow (26th of Jan) is Australia Day. I recieved this in an email today and thought it was pretty funny. I would have posted it in the lounge but its a bit rude. God bless Australia! WE ARE ONE! We are the people of a free nation of blokes, sheilas and the occasional wanker. We come from many lands (although a few too many of us come from New Zealand), and although we live in the best country in the world, we reserve the right to bitch and moan about it whenever we bloody like. We are One Nation but divided into many States. VICTORIA First, there's Victoria, named after a queen who didn't believe in lesbians. Victoria is the realm of Mossimo turtlenecks, cafe latte, grand final day, and big horse races. Its capital is Melbourne, whose chief marketing pitch is that "it's livable". At least that's what they think. The rest of us think it is too bloody cold and wet. NEW SOUTH WALES Next, there's NSW, the realm of pastel shorts, macchiato with sugar, thin books read quickly and millions of dancing queens. Its capital Sydney has more queens than any other city in the world and is proud of it. Its mascots are Bondi lifesavers who pull their Speedos up their cracks to keep the left and right sides of their brains separate. TASMAINIA Down south we have Tasmania, a State based on the notion that the family that bonks together stays together. In Tassie, everyone gets an extra chromosome at conception. Maps of the State bring smiles to the sternest faces. It holds the world record for a single mass shooting, which the Yanks can't seem to beat no matter how often they try. SOUTH AUSTRALIA South Australia is the province of half-decent reds, a festival of foreigners and bizarre axe murders. SA is the state of innovation. Where else can you so effectively reuse country bank vaults and barrels as in Snowtown, just out of Adelaide (also named after a queen). They had the Grand Prix, but lost it when the views of Adelaide sent the Formula One drivers to sleep at the wheel. WESTERN AUSTRALIA Western Australia is too far from anywhere to be relevant. It's main claim to fame is that it doesn't have daylight saving because if it did, all the men would get erections on the bus on the way to work. WA was the last state to stop importing convicts and many of them still work there in the government and business. NORTHERN TERRITORY The Northern Territory is the red heart of our land. Outback pla

Very funny. :) Esp the part about WA not having DST. :-D Jan 26 is also India's Republic Day, but Chris doesn't put up an Indian :bob: because it's Aussie Day as well. And as for our Independence Day, he says it's also the anniversary of the end of WW2. Which leaves us Indians without a dressed up :bob: :| Here's wishing you a very happy Australia Day, Josh and the other Aussie blokes! :rose: Cheers, Vikram.

That would be a Mullah Pathan Bob with a beard and a kurta-pyjama. And maybe a gun. Cheers, Vikram.

I am from South-Africa..............do I need to say more. We REALLY DON'T LIKE AUSTRALIANS :) ....enjoy the hangover, the sheep and the over grown rodents :-D Blou bulle is baas!
Hey fellow Saffa. The only reason we don't like the Aussies is because they keep taking our jobs in London. Oh and that cricket thing they're better than us at... and Georgie Greegan... Other than that were dead similar. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Colib and ilikecameras. K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

LOL Actually Aussies, Kiwis and Saffas are good workers and plenty of Brits hire them. Quite a few in the I.T. sector. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Colib and ilikecameras. K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!
