Even More Things Australian

[mobvok]

My parents are now floating around Australia somewhere for the next month+, so I suppose I should be on the lookout reading this thread for typhoons, further airline strikes, and bogans.

 

[cobl04]

Bogans are never not a threat.

Hope your parents stay safe, Mobvok.

 

[cobl04]

What a sikkunt.

And for a race that hates others, he sure tries to sound like a wog.

Hey Danny you bogan lover , have you been checking out Housos on sbs ? Not as good as swift n shift couriers but pretty damm funny. I find it so close to the truth around here in this area it is almost sad.

 

[Axver]

Haha, Housos has been great.

 

[cobl04]

Nah haven't seen it.

Apparently Capper is doing a show for 9 during the Olympics. "It'll be like Roy & HG." No. No it won't.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I hate Capper so fucking much.

 

[mysterious_jen]

HG going to be on it's a knockout doing special comments. May make it watchable.

Because I'm seeing John Farnham tomorrow night...

Note what is possibly Derryn Hinch's first and last acting performance.


Also (as if that wasn't enough lolz), because I mentioned this to someone recently:

My brain exploded

 

[Alisaura]

Oops, sorry. Need a mop?

Oh good god. It's so frantic too.

I loved how Gruen Planet managed to get three custom ones made, one for Kavity and two for their Greek cousins, Dia and Betes.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Rush is playing Lady Bracknell in the Importance of Being Earnest right now... but tickets were $150

 

[Axver]

Wow, so, for the first time, an Opposition MP is Speaker of the House. Stunned to see Jenkins resigned.

 

[Alisaura]

Is there any basis to the Opposition's (Abbott's?) paranoid-sounding claims about Labour forcing Jenkins out in order to rob the Coalition of a vote?

 

[Axver]

Well, they had a majority anyway, so I don't know what the big deal is, except perhaps as a "fuck you" for the occasions when Abbott - against all convention - refuses to pair when an MP is unavoidably absent.

^ Check out the outro to this track

 

[mobvok]

Just popping in for Cobl04, to say the local alternative station is now playing Gotye, Somebody That I Used To Know. Afterwards, it played another song from The Fucking Foo Fighters, so it's being put right in the mainstream of rotation.

 

[Cin]

ack, Gotye is still being played to death here.....but you probably already know that.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I do not like that song.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I like that song.

 

[cobl04]

His sister was on the week-long leadership camp I just got back from. Pretty cool. Really looking forward to seeing him live over new years.

Pyramid bound too Cobbler-? Maybe we can have our drink this time while we admire Boy & Bear after their 5 richly deserved Aria awards.

 

[cobl04]

Hahaha yeah our tickets arrived the other day so I'm up/down for that!

Pretty bummed Cloud Control clashes with Grandmaster Flash though.
