Kangaroo495 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Having not been home in 2 years, I'm starting to miss Oz! Especially when I read stuff like this... Brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it? In the beginning God created day and night. He created day for footy matches, going to the beach and barbies. He created night for going prawning, sleeping and barbies. God saw that it was good. Evening came and morning came and it was the second Day. On the Second Day God created water - for surfing, swimming and barbies on the beach. God saw that it was good. Evening came and morning came and it was the Third Day. On the Third Day God created the Earth to bring forth plants - to provide tobacco, malt and yeast for beer and wood for barbies. God saw that it was good. Evening came and morning came and it was the Fourth Day. On the Fourth Day God created animals and crustaceans for chops, sausages, steak and prawns for barbies. God saw that it was good. Evening came and morning came and it was the Fifth Day. On the Fifth day God created a bloke - to go to the footy, enjoy the beach, drink the beer and eat the meat and prawns at barbies. God saw that it was good. Evening came and morning came and it was the Sixth Day. On the Sixth Day God saw that this bloke was lonely and needed someone to go to the footy, surf, drink beer, eat and stand around the barbie with. So God created Mates, and God saw that they were good blokes. Evening came and morning came and it was the Seventh Day. On the Seventh Day God looked around at the twinkling barbie fires, heard the hiss of opening beer cans and the raucous laughter of all the Blokes, smelled the aroma of grilled chops and sizzling prawns and God saw that it was good. well almost good. God saw that the blokes were tired and needed a rest. So God created Sheilas - to clean the house, bear children, wash, cook and clean the barbie. God saw that it was not just good, it was better than that. It was bloody good. It was Australia Also really liked this joke: Three Aussie guys were working on a high-rise building project - Steve, Bruce and Kevin. Steve falls off and is killed instantly. As the ambulance takes the body away, Bruce says, "Someone should go and tell his wife." Kevin says, "OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it." Two hours later, he comes back carrying a slab of VB. Bruce says, "Where did you get that, Kev?" "Steve's wife gave it to me," Bruce replies. "That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you a slab?" "Well not exactly," Kevin said. "When she answered the door, I said to her, 'You must be Steve's widow'. She said, 'No, I'm not a widow.' And I said, 'I'll bet you a slab of VB you are'."
bolivr Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 God bless 'Straya Top post Kanga, what's the outlook on your return?
Kangaroo495 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 Christmas. Looking forward to it, as I've missed the last 4!
Kangaroo495 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 BTW, while we're on the topic of Australia, does someone know what on earth this is? The Principality of Hutt River, previously known as Hutt River Province, is Australia's oldest micronation. The principality has claimed to be an independent sovereign state since its foundation but it is not recognized by the Commonwealth of Australia or any other international entity. [1] The principality is located on a large farming property 517 km north of Perth, near the town of Northampton. The principality was founded on April 21, 1970 by Leonard George Casley (born August 28, 1925),[2] when he and his associates proclaimed their secession from the state of Western Australia. Casley now styles himself "His Royal Highness Prince Leonard I". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Hutt_River
bolivr Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Christmas, good, the way time goes it will be here before you know it. The Hutt River thing is one I have not heard of for ages. Now and again gets in the news but I think it came up in studying the Constitution waaay back in high school. Sure it started with a dispute with the WA government but it kind of pisses me off that people like 'Prince Leonard' probably struggling with some sort of god complex has got tax exemptions etc without acknowledging he is only able to do this from being in a privileged position due to being raised in Australia in the first place. LOL
