Happy Australia Day

Don't know why this one got the bump but I seem to have missed it first go around.

Celebrated with some Aboriginal mates on a beach. After a day on the piss we sent our fleet of union jacked bark ships out on the outgoing tide and toasted an efigy of Tony Abbott.

noice

Bump.

Rosie Batty (a family violence campaigner whose 11yo was murdered by her psycho ex hubby after the kid's cricket training a few years ago) is Australian of the Year.

I am hopefully off to the SCG with K Jr1 tomorrow.

Piece o' cake!

Pretty grim looking day in the Knee of Syd. Hopefully it fines up for the cricket.

Happy Aus Day 2015 all.

Prince Philip given an Australian Knighthood by Tony Abbott.

You can't make this shit up.

It's recognition of the contribution to Australia by the Greek community

So they couldn't find some other Greek to give it to?

The two Greco-Australian tennis players, perhaps?

Awarded for doing what no one else can do, make Tony Abbott look like a genius.

This forum could have been knighted if they were looking to promote a bit of Ancient Greek.

What an embarrassment Tones is, but at least he's providing rich fodder for the satirists.

And tac would be a Duke.

Rare that I get close to PMSL. But the Abbott trick immediately twigged a thought how the knighthood would go down with the Aussies on here.

It's a good day for the world though:

The birthplace of democracy regenerates itself. However hard the road ahead, and however unscrupulous and virulent the "neoliberal" propaganda will be.

And even better, the rapacious blasphemous gore-maddened butchers finally repelled from Kobane, it seems.

As they used to say in Scotland before the SNP turned up: "bonny fechters". In a good cause of human defence. Cheers to the Kurds. ATGs.

If the poms hadnt "invaded" it would have been the cheese eating surrender monkeys ...and they are so much better at dealing with natives

dont mind have an Oz Day but it is a bit insensitive to have it on this particular date.

insensitive

****** off you negative old dickhead

we could find a negative to any of the dates of the year

if you can find a date with more significance to all australians let me know it

grand final day...but only in years when the pies and west coast do not win

16 October
