I'm girt

Happy Australia Day for tomorrow!

A quick google of our national anthem will reveal that "our land is girt by sea". So is yours, and a lot of other people's, but we've put it in the anthem.

I plan to celebrate in a patriotic frenzy by not going to work. As usual the government will try to get us excited by this, but posting this message is as frenzied as I get.

oh, and here's an Australian flag

when did they change to that?

Didn't you hear Max,the Aussies finally got their shit together and finally became a republic.Yay them!*

looks extremely boring for an aboriginal flag though- this would be a much better design

On initial reading of this thread, I thought it was Floyd confessing "I'm a git".

Just to be sure: are you, Floyd?

not only did you get it wrong, but i never made an error, so what were you correcting?

KingPhone · 25 January, 2006, 05:08:31 AM

they haven't officially changed to that, but it's the aboriginal flag and hence an Australian flag. I like it.

my first statement was a joke you ejjit, mocking you!

My work mate has almost completed his emigration to Oz, just about a month to go.

So in celebration of his moving down under, we'll be celebrating Australia Day by drinking Fosters in the pub.

G'day!!

Fegbar; I hope not. It's bad enough being girt by sea.

Conexus; I think the aboriginals have suffered enough.

Uncle Umpty; gidday to you! You bewt!
