Hi all,
Thought i'd put a thread up about what everyone is up to this weekend with the looming celebration of the first fleet arriving in australia!
I will be having a gathering at mine with some family and friends, well have a BBQ, listen to the Hottest 100 on triple J and chill out on the river (my place is on the river), theres a rope swing and im sure there will be more than a few back slaps and drunken fails.
there may be a few games of goon of fortune, which should be interesting.
also this went around on my facebook last year and im in no way clever enough to come up with somthing like this but i thought everyone would get a giggle out of this speal below:
YOU KNOW YOU'RE AUSTRALIAN WHEN: You believe that stubbies can either be drunk or worn. You pronounce Melbourne as 'Mel-bin'. You believe that the letter 'l' in Australia is optional, and it's perfectly ok to call it 'Straya'. You think 'Wooloomooloo' is a perfectly reasonable name for a place. You're secretly proud of our killer wildlife. You believe it makes perfect sense for a country to have a......... $1 coin thats twice as big as a $2 coin. You understand that 'Wagga Wagga' can be abbreviated to 'Wagga' but 'Woy Woy' cannot be just 'Woy'. Beetroot with your hamburger...of course! You wear ugg boots outside the house. You believe that the more you shorten someone's name, the more you like them. You understand that 'excuse me' can sound rude, but 'scuse me' is always polite. You know what its like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose. You know it's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to handle and a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron. You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in "o": arvo, convo, garbo, lezzo, metho, milko, muso, servo, smoko, rego, speedo, righto, etc,....you know that there is a universal place called 'Woop Woop' located in the middle of nowhere, no matter where you actually are! And you can understand all of this, had a giggle, and tell all your aussie and international friends. I love Australia! :-)
Finally, have a great day where ever you are and what ever you are doing!!!
Cheers
Rusty
