Get laid?

 

[Purplereign]

so nosey

and really, if you're going to ask that question in an Aussie thread you could at least use the correct vernacular, ie: 'didja get a root maaaaaaaaaate'

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Followed by some other bogan phrase that is used by many ...

 

[Purplereign]

Good god, just watching the Liberal Party launch . . . jesus . . . do they think it's 1950? Embarrassment, much


< secretly wishes Australian politics was a little more inspiring . . . it's drier than a weetbix with vegemite

 

[CrashedCarDriver]

I agree with you but are you just going to complain about Australian in this thread? Because it seems you are very unhappy with your country.

im "taking the piss"

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Sure thing.

i'm in as good a form as a nun at the moment mate.

[cobl04]

shattering indeed!

now my old mate Nui from the Herald Sun, in his infinite wisdom that is his stupid "matrix" thing in one of the Sunday liftouts says "Bono is locked in. Trust The Matrix".

while we're on the topic of the Herald Sun, do you know what the highest selling edition ever is? nope, it's not 9/11, nor is it Diana.

it's the Sunday after Collingwood won the grand final in 1990.

Spoiler

Did the matrix say when the tour was going to be ?

 

[cobl04]

nope. Nui's a fuckhead. if it turns out that we don't get a tour, after him saying we will for the past 18 months, i'll burn his house down.

Inspiring Australian politics?

YouTube - ‪Sex Party vs Family First - Real Debate only on Sunrise‬‎

 

[Purplereign]

alrighty so I watched it

Sunrise (David Koch does my head in ) . . .and Family First . . . Fiona Patten, god bless her soul . . . she came across as a rational, confident, thoughtful campaigner for civil liberties who actually looks at the issues and considers both sides of an argument. . . that other harpy . . . mamma mia, shut up, learn how to listen, learn how to debate and say something that makes sense . . . and stop with the freakin' billboard talk

Fiona Pattens' point about the internet just may well be what decides this election for me . . . so far the goalposts re health, public transport, infrastructure and education all seem alarmingly similar . . . and I really really don't like the idea of a 'blacklist' . . . and I really don't believe that this blacklist will tackle or get ride of any of the issues that the parties purport . . . anyhoooooooo . . . pass the iced vovo's bruce, all this political talk is making me tired

 

[dan_smee]

Hahahaha, Wendy is such a mole. First same sex marriage is off the table because it has nothing to do with civil liberties, but then religious orgs should have tax exempt status because "its a free society"??

She has no idea what the difference between substance and rhetoric is. That debate was a perfect example of the difference.

seeing Paul Dempsey on the 8th October

try nz.

 

[The Sad Punk]

try nz.

... Actually have your old land in mind since there's so many art colleges there, but I'm sure NZ is pretty good too. Just not exactly what I'm after right now.

 

[mysterious_jen]

the current election campaign is abysmal, i like julia gillard as a person, but i hate labour , if she were leading the libs i would be stoked .
loved the way she handled Mark Latham, the other day , he was lucky security didn't take him out back and bust his arse for the way he was in her face .

the greens are looking the more attractive option at this stage.

 

[cobl04]

Wil Anderson, his show and Yes We Canberra! =

 

[Saracene]

Can't stand Wil Anderson

nothing quite like spreading your wings . . . hope wherever you land puts a smile on your dial

this. although still not sure about the greens . . .who are their preferences going to? and I think for them to be really effective (cuz unless there is a minor modern day miracle I don't think anyone seriously expects them to win) they really have to make some smart choices with regards to their preferences?

I am so bored by this election it makes me feel a little ashamed . . . although I do get a little annoyed that Gillard is copping it for deposing the Ruddster . . . remind me again how Tony baby got the gig?

Can't stand Wil Anderson

I loved him on the Gruen Transfer and thought he was prett good on the Glasshouse - anywhere he doesn't just ride rough shod over everyone around him and get overly shouty is good. . . gah I hate shouty comedians . . . he's a pretty funny monkey but I can understand why he'd annoy the crap out of some people . . . and I often think of his parents . . .he would have been a handful and a half

 

[cobl04]

when people tell me they don't like Wil i always ask them if they've seen him live.

he's actually an incredibly intelligent, sensitive person, who says a lot of things that people find confronting.

 

[intedomine]

C'mon guys, Sex Party, they are getting my Senate vote on August 21!!

Never really liked Anderson, Glasshouse was just a crap show, Grant and Hughes are horrid. Anderson is ok on Gruen, but pointless as anyone could host that show. I Remember sitting next to him drinking at a beer garden a few summers back. Doesn't seem so overbearing and loud around his closest acquaintances.

I'm gradually becoming less attracted to Aussie women for some reason, my eye is increasingly being drawn by sub-continental or middle-Eastern women. Don't know why... but It's just happening

 

[bono_man2002]

I think I'll be joining you voting for the sex party also.

Cannot stand either "MisterRabbit" or The lady that sounds like she was a character from Kath & Kim.

some of us are not sooooooooooooooooo bad . . .

I'm seriously considering it too . . . much to my hub and parents absolute horror

ooh, nice. have any specific part of the country in mind?
