Happy Australia day! For all those who are unaware, Australia day is when we celebrate... something. It's all about being an Aussie. Drinking beer and throwing a shrimp on the barbie and arguing over the intrinsic merits of what constitutes a knife. It is the anniversary of when we took a land owned and governed by a local government and decided that it was unowned and therefore we could take it, or something. Or it might be to do with having once been a penal colony. Or a man in armour shooting up Cobb and co coaches. Or something. We get a day off to drink and eat though, so happy day anyway! Pup
- I'd raise a glass, but I don't really like the "beer" your country produces. How about I put on my stereotypical tourist "Drizabone" Aussie hat and raise a whisky? Good on yer anyway - you've got a decent country there, apart from that big hot bit in the middle. --UU - natter

- Whoops, i nearly forgot to raise my glass. Made it with 45 minutes to spare being in QLD unlike the daylight lovers down there :P. Of course, we don't need daylight because we drove all the grues out of our state into NSW eleventy years ago. Overthetop3 13:16, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Oh yeah ur, Happy Australia Day. Kinda late but I have a good reason. Got nice and sunburnt because I spent about an hour standing around outside with no sunblock on. You can still clearly see the red line on my skin where my shirt was. Sequence 02:06, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

- Actually now you mention it that reminds me of something I saw on Ten News. Apparently some guy was stopped by the coppers on Australia Day because he was carrying booze past Bondi when there was an alcohol ban. When the news guys interviewed him about it he said "It's unAustralian not to drink on Australia Day". That person votes. Sequence 15:26, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

- To paraphrase former prime minister Bob Hawke - "Anyone who stops someone drinking on Australia Day is a mug!" Pup
