I cordially invite the locals and furriners of any particular abode for that matter, replete with the occasional, odd chilled glass of amber fluid, to post your favourite memes of the [land downunder](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOBd0PwQouE) and it’s inhabitants, fauna, flora or feral. Elsewise, may your chickens hatch into emus and kick your dunny down. ---

If I spend the day bingeing “All Saints” on Hulu, will that be adequate? FWIW, I’ll do that anyway. G’day, mate. ---

I’ve been to Oz a couple of times, enjoyed every minute and I’d go back in a heartbeat. My only disappointment was not seeing a Whale Shark on the boat trip I took out of Exmouth. ---

I must say I was monumentally disappointed with the annual Australia Day Lamb ad on the telly. I never watch commercial TV, so had to check it out on YouTube after our return from the Aus Day celebrations at the local sports club (bouncing castles, sack races, water slides for the kids, pie eating comps for the adults yada yada). Cheapo lamb rolls with gravy and schooners, a fun day had by all despite not winning the MONSTER MEAT TRAY or a bottle of Bundy in the raffle. But yeah, Sam Kekovich failed to even raise a half-smile with this year’s offering. I feel short-changed. Happy Invasion Day. And our national anthem should be [We are Australian, at least we know the bloody words to this song.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05f7nG57gq4) ---

Did you know they don’t celebrate Australia Day in Asia? They don’t. And they expect this unlucky bastard to do urgent work today, regardless. Sigh. ---

Philistines 😛 On the upside, it’s only 5 days until Tet! They won’t make you work for THAT will they? ---

I know people say Australians are laid back but I always see Australians still getting mad about that Simpsons episode to this day. ---

Missed this. Hope everyone down under had a great day. 🇦🇺 (Except poor @Princhester, apparently. 😪 )
