I had a great Australia day yesterday - BBQ at a friends house, good beer and rather silly drinking games afterwards. I like you Aussies!

People acknowledge Australia Day overseas? Cool.

I do know Hamish and Andy had a special Oz-Day show on BBC6, but that's about it.

Oh, and I luxuriate in your jealous rage, Tiste.

Shut. My rage is oh so jealous. Karnivool, Mastodon, the Freaking Mars Volta? I hate you with a passion/want to be you! And most people don't acknowledge Aussie day, but I have a good friend who lives here but is a Dinkum. She put on a BBQ plus an Australia day quiz to see how much we know about it. I failed miserably. But shes hot and I had an awesome epic steak so it was a great evening.

An Australia quiz? What sort of stuff would be on an Australia quiz? I'd probably fail one of those...

Well I learnt that Drongo means idiot, and there was a bunch of questions about different aspects of Australian culture/sport/history etc. Beforehand I even learnt that Kevin Rudd was the prime minister, and it didn't even come up...

TBH I can't remember most of it as I was very busy drinking an absolutely marvellous Australian Shiraz of some description...

not much. well, I guess I'm still alive, that counts :>

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

This is beneath you Mezla.

The Burlington Society (shit Uni postgrad club) had a 'Burn Australia' party which combined Australia Day and Burns Night.

Drongo is vernacular for idiot, true. This is because the drongo bird was reckoned to be quite dim, even by avian standards, thus the appellation for people of perceived diminished intellectual capacity.

Place I've been trying to get to employ me (because the work is a strange blend of simple and varied so it's actually not very tedious for a data entry job if you're easily amused, AND they actually have hired me for temp work in the past) has vacancies again. Granted, my work history is pretty shit, but I'm better than a lot of their permanent staff already and I'm going to fucking ACE that assessment when they get that far.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

my new 18-inch lasppy is sitting in the corner of my bedroom now, all pristine and sleeek and stylish in its innocence and glory.

I am now seriously looking forward to the weekend when i'll actually have time to take all the crap out of my old laptop, and put all the stuff I want in my new precioussss....

Wrong thread, but I just read this in a facebook group:

Quote

can someone please give me an answer (not debate me) on why if the earth is millions/billions of years old(the amount seems to keep changing) why is this only the year 2010? Just something I've always wanted a proper explanation for.

Basically I can just point at my avatar for general reaction purposes now.

Didn't have to go straight to work from guard today. Our boss cut us away because there was no reason for us to be there, so I came straight home just in time for the rain to really start pouring down on my corrugated iron roof and went to bed.
