Are you a wombat?

Some cherished memories for our Aussie mates across the ditch.

sorry mate but I am going to have to give you a fail, no passionfruit on the pav.

Bugger, had to do an edit, had a second look and saw a couple of seeds, sorry mate, not having passionfruit on pav is like wiping your arse with newspaper, just not what we consider kooth and kulcha

I was born the the US but I breed in Thailand.

How does this relate to the topic?

Last night i took a shower and went to bed.

Americans well most of them have to stick their nose into things. this topic is about Aussies and their Australia day . I do not got to American postS when it is their 4th of jULY.

Since this topic is in NO way Thailand related, anything goes "mate".

Until you realised you'd thrown away all your lollies and had to go buy a violet crumble at intermission with the only one and six you had left. Money well spent though because once you'd scoffed it you could turn the shiny wrapper inside out and toss it at the girls down the front. Edited January 26, 2014 by Songhua

You know you’re Australian when…

1. You’re familiar with Neighbours, Home and Away, Playschool, A Country Practice, Norman Gunston, Barry Humphries, Blue Heelers, Ray Martin, Bert Newton, Lisa McCune, Jon Burgess, Number 96, Molly Meldrum, Kerry O’Brien, and of course, Kerry Packer and Rupert Murdoch.

2. You know that Burger King doesn’t exist. It’s Hungry Jacks.

3. You know that snow is a memorable and freakish occurrence. Sometimes it’s even fake.

4. You know the difference between thongs and a G-string.

5. You know that “stubbies” are either short shorts or small beer bottles, a “gimp”, “bogan” or “geezer” is a random idiot, someone in trouble is in “strife” and you’re liable to burst out laughing whenever you hear of Americans “rooting” for something.

4. You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, lezzo, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto etc.

5. You know that some ppl pronounce Australia like “Strayla” and that’s ok.

6. You know that there is a universal place called “woop woop” located in the middle of nowhere… no matter where you actually are.

7. You know that while we call our friends ‘mates’, we don’t use terms like ‘sheila’ and ‘shrimp on the barbie’, contrary to popular belief.

8. You know that none of us actually drink Fosters beer, because it tastes like shit. We export all the crap to pommie land.

9. You’ve seen Gallipoli, Crocodile Dundee, Young Einstein, Muriel’s Wedding, The Castle, Beneath Clouds, Strictly Ballroom, 40,000 Horsemen, and maybe even WolfCreek.

10. It makes you happy when someone in Hollywood is actually Australian… Mel Gibson, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Baz Luhrman, Elle MacPherson, Olivia Newton-John, Midnight Oil, ACDC, INXS, Greg Norman, Cathy Freeman, Dawn Fraser, Pat Rafter, Ian Thorpe…

11. One word: Skippy.

12. You know that Sydney 2000 was one of our proudest moments in history. We just fuc_king rock.

13. You know that you are not going to die of cholera or other Third World diseases (remote Aboriginal communities are a different matter)

14. You know our country has never been conquered by a foreign nation (you don’t count 1788).

15. We know that the Metric system will always be better than anything inches, feet, pounds and fahrenheit will ever offer.

16. You drive on the left-hand side of the road.

17. If you’re a pedestrian and cars are stopped at a red light, you will fearlessly cross the street in front of them. ‘Hit and runs’ just aren’t cricket. Because Aussies stick together.

18. You know that New Zealanders are basically our naive country cousins, who have a weird fush-and-chups accent and, for some bizare reason, think that they invented pavlova. They are to be pitied. They have no hope of gaining the upper hand in the endless sporting rivalry between our two nations.

19. You know that you can’t eat Fantales alone… Otherwise who will you play the ‘Who am I…’ game with when you’re reading the wrapper?

20. You know that Sydney should be the capital, because Canberra is a hole.

21. You know that Americans think we’re all Steve Irwin clones. And crickey, they couldn’t be more wrong.

22. You know that lawyers wear wigs and gowns. And we make it look good.

23. You have some time in your life slept with Aeroguard on in the summer. Maybe even as perfume.

24. You feel obliged to spread salty black stuff that looks like congealed motor oil on bread… and actually grow to like it. You’ve also squeeze Vegemite through Vita Wheats to make little Vegemite worms.

25. You believe that democracy means the freedom to draw caricatures of good ol’ Johnny Howard.

26. You have the ability to compress several words into one – ie ‘g’day’ and ‘d’reckn?’. This allows more space for profanities.

27. You’ve ever used the words – tops, ripper, sick, mad, rad, sweet – to mean good. And then you place ‘bloody’ in front of it when you REALLY mean it.

28. You know that the barbeque is a political arena; the person holding the tongs is always the boss and usually a man. And the women make the salad.

29. You say ‘no worries’ quite often, whether you realise it or not.

30. You know what fairy bread tastes like, and you can’t imagine your childhood without it.

31. You know the first verse to the national anthem, but still don’t know what “girt” means. And you’re ok with that.

32. You’ve drank your tea/coffee/milo through a Tim Tam.

33. You know that backyard cricket is a nice way to bond with family and the rubbish bin. And the ‘one bounce, one hand’ rule always applies

34. You know that we are home to the just about all of the world’s deadliest of animals. That’s why if anybody messes with us we’ll get some funnel webs on their <deleted>.

35. You see people walking bare-foot on the footpath and don’t scorn…. because you’re doing it too.

36. You know that in summer a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron.

36. You know what trop-fest is and it makes you happy.

37. Sausage rolls and meat pies. End of story.

38. You firmly believe that in the end, everything will be ok and have offered advice that included the words, “she’ll be right, mate”.

39. You have a story that somehow involves an excessive consumption of booze… but you can’t remember.

40. You own a Bond’s chesty. In several different colours.

41. You’ve ordered a steak the size as your head and only paid $5 at your local RSL.

42. You know that Italy should never have been granted that fateful kick in the 2006 Soccer World Cup.

43. You know how to slip, slop, slap like it’s nobody’s business.

44. You’ve heard the Prime Minister dismiss anyone who disagrees with him simply as ‘un-Australian’, and that’s enough to make us sit down and shut up.

45. You know that the value of a public holiday is measured in terms of alcohol. God bless the queen and her 4-day birthday.

46. You refer to someone you like as “a total bastard”, but call someone you don’t like “a bit of a bastard”.

47. You know there’s no lbw in backyard cricket, and over the fence is out.

48. You know Drop Bears exist. Positively.

49. You know you that roo meat tastes pretty good, but not as good as barra. Or a meat pie.

50.You know Australia IS the best bloody place on earth. Bar none.

I'll be cooking a some lamb chops and snags on the barbie, and washing them down with a few tinnies

Happy Australia Day!

If you had bought $1,000.00 of Qantas shares one year ago, you would

have

$49.00

today!

If you bought $1,000.00 AIG shares one year ago, you would have

$33.00

today!

If you bought $1,000.00 worth of Lehman Brothers shares one year ago,

you would have

$0.00

today!

BUT..... if you purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank

all the beer, then returned the aluminum cans for recycling....

YOU WOULD HAVE RECEIVED $214.00!!!

BASED ON THE ABOVE, THE BEST CURRENT INVESTMENT PLAN IS TO

DRINK HEAVILY AND RECYCLE!

AND,DID YOU KNOW...

A recent study found that the average Aussie walks 900 MILES A YEAR!!!

Another study found that Aussies drink, on average, 22 GALLONS OF ALCOHOL A YEAR!!!

THAT MEANS THAT, ON AVERAGE, AUSSIES GET ..... 41 MILES TO THE GALLON.

MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE AN AUSSIE" DOESN'T IT?

Wasn't the healthiest food around, but this is how it was back then.

I remember years ago working late and popping into the local takeaway to buy chicko rolls, potato scallops [potato cakes] and washing them down with some red. Coming to Thailand probably extended my lifespan

On Australia Day we come together as a nation to celebrate what's great about Australia and being Australian. It's the day to reflect on what we have achieved and what we can be proud of in our great nation.

You know you're Australian if

You believe that stubbies can be either drunk or worn.

You've made a bong out of your garden hose rather than use it for something illegal such as watering the garden.

When you hear that an American "roots for his team" you wonder how often and with whom.

You pronounce Melbourne as "Mel-bin".

You believe the "l" in the word "Australia" is optional

You can translate "Dazza and Shazza played Acca Dacca on the way to Maccas.

You think "Woolloomooloo" is a perfectly reasonable name for a place.

You call your best friend "a total bastard" but someone you really, truly despise is just "a bit of a bastard"

You believe it makes sense for a country to have a $1 coin that's twice as big as its $2 coin.

You believe all famous Kiwis are actually Australian, until they stuff up, at which point they again become Kiwis.

You know that certain words must, by law, be shouted out during any rendition of the Angels' song Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again.

Hamburger. Beetroot. Of course.

You know what it's like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose.

When returning home from overseas, you expect to be brutally strip-searched by Customs - just in case you're trying to sneak in fruit.

You believe the phrase "smart casual" refers to a pair of black tracky-daks, suitably laundered.

You get choked up with emotion by the first verse of the national anthem and then have trouble remembering the second

You know, whatever the tourist books say, that no one says "cobber".

And you will immediately forward this list to other Australians, here and overseas, realizing that only they will understand.

KEVVY.......................... AUSTRALIAN BORN AND BREED

I must say the Ozzies as a whole do seem to be the least obnoxious farangs here - they just seem to adjust more easily regardless of their socioeconomic backgound - maybe it's their intuitive aversion to the whinging mentality so prevalent amongst most of the other white tribes passing through.

Gee whiz OldCroc. Fantales? Now you're bringing back some memories. Throwing those and Jaffas at the movies...years ago, of course

I can remember the stink bombs clearing out the Fiesta theatre in Scarborough.

Jaffas worked well when we were forced to go to see the ballet with school. THey went a long way to the stage from the gods and created chaos.
