A very relaxing and hot day here today. Enjoying the day off work, haven't done the typical Aussie Day things...but has been good just kicking back and doing nothing!

Didn't have vegemite on my toast this morning, didn't even have my weetbix, haven't had a barbie for lunch nor a meat pie with sauce.....haven't even cracked open a coldie as yet!! Haven't been down the beach wearing my togs, thongs and zinc. Geez, hardly seems like Australia Day (oh except the only things to watch on the telly are cricket or tennis......):mad:

I want to go down under but that's beside the point.

Go Australia! If the Aussies ran the world, things would be so much easier.

Umm back in Australia, no not really.. but since travelling and living here for over a year, I can give it a damn good try! (Noone could believe how much I could drink when I was back in Oz for a holiday last year)..

Will be out celebrating tonight but unfortunately stuck in work at the moment, missing the JJJ countdown, the Big Day Out, the sun, the bbq's... *sigh*

Ahh well, will make up for it on 17/03!

Happy Birthday Dundalk Cailin!!!! Hope you had a great day

cil_aine I love Kath N Kim......I have a tshirt somewhere that says "I'm not a housewife ~ I'm a hornbag" (Gotta LOVE Kimmy!!)

As for Australia being a racist country........I am not a racist, there are plenty of racist people in this world in every culture and every country....it happens everywhere. There have been some very unfortunate incidents in the last few months that were racially fuelled......doesn't mean that all Aussies agree with it. Far from it actually.

*shrug* for a country with pretty much every race represented, there's suprisingly little racial problems.. however there's always a minority in every country which create problems for everyone else. Unless you've spent a fair amount of time living in Australia, it's better that you keep such opinions to yourself.

Thanks daiixi, I agree with your post!!! I am a bit sick of these rash generalisations about Aussies being racist.....and they generally come from people that have never been to Australia in their lives.
