Anzac Day is a national public holiday in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I and also to commemorate the soldiers who fought in France and Belgium.

there you go

Lest we forget.

Who cares that it falls on a Saturday? That's ANZAC day man. Dumb ass Rudd government.

Lest we forget indeed.

That's weird...I live in Canberra atm, and I get the day off uni on Monday for ANZAC day, and I go to a federally-endorsed university. So I don't think it's the Government. Maybe some people aren't giving it, and others are? Who knows.

My groove is all out of whack because I have a uni assignment due on Wednesday that I forgot to do over the break. Sigh.

Which Uni? ANU or UCan't?

Cheers,

La Sombra, pick which one I went to

[MTS]

UCan't? Haha that's hilarious. UC cops so much crap haha.

I go to ANU. I'm guessing you went to UC?

Nope - ANU, I'm an (ex) ANUS. Some might argue the "ex" part.

We almost had UCan named Southern Highlands Institute of Technology, until some bureaucrat realised the acronym.

La Sombra, lived at Toad Hall. Yep, it exists

[MTS]

Toad Hall? Haha never heard of it. Where is it?

[Centzon Totochtin]

Just like they almost has the Curtain University of New Technology over in Perth. Lucky they realised that one before naming it officially hehe.

It's a hall of residence, behind the Union, just off Barry Drive. For SHAME, boy! Your penance is to get drunk there by the banks of the mighty Sullivans' Creek on the first night of winter.

I like that one, and the Tasmanian Institute of Technical Studies.

Cheers,

La Sombra, ahhh, is a youth spent wasted a wasted youth?

Oh, I never go near the Union so that's probably why lol. I only spend time on res around Bruce and Burgmann Halls and UniLodge outside of classes.

Not at all. You're being most alive when you're wasted, living life to the full. Although you do spend a lot of time on recovery...

No joke: I know a guy who studied at the Toyko Institute of Technology.

Too bad he's an older family friend and not someone I can bellow "TITS" at during parties.

[MTS]

My mates bailed on a pub crawl tonight cos of uni, which left me at home alone with nothing to do but drink beer and be bored. sigh.

[Thelomen Toblerone]

Bloody philosophy dissertation is progressing sloooowly. To be on time I need to have done 3000 wordsof it by now, instead I've managed 1000. Heidegger is too boring, bah.

[MTS]

What is your philosophy dissertation on TT?

[Ain't_It_Just_]

Philosophy? Add beer and you get this:

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whisky every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.



Oh right, I'm supposed to be depressed... um....my leg hurts?
