    If there's one thing the Aussie's excel at, it's barbeque's, a multitude of soap opera's and the best Masterchef format...

    .. oh, and murderous Stingrays!

    They look harmless enough tbh!

    Oh, and that's 4 things.

    So do we just go out and commit a load of crimes to celebrate it?

    Which Australians are you referring to? The real Australians? Or the European colonists? Because if it's the former? Well then surely it's a day of national mourning for them to mark their genocide. If it's the latter? Well.......who gives a fcuk.

    Every harmless looking Animal, Fish and Insect contains enough poison to send you straight to the morgue

    Pull your socks over your boots while camping to stop spiders and snakes sleeping in them at night

    With Aussies? Certainly not, I learned from my London days they're best avoided.

    Tomorrow is bring sandwiches to work day so. I believe the canteen are celebrating Australia Day with Australian cuisine. They can't even do Irish cuisine right.

    Paddys day is more of a session than Australia day, Australia day (which is right now for them) is a good day for the tennis/ bbq and lots of beer!

    Something about sandwiches


    The Fireworks are pretty cool.
    Its just another excuse to drink though. Had one in Melbourne and it was cool. Had one in Perth that was cool, but the natives went on a rampage. Was crazy! :eek:
