I was wandering through some of the less savoury threads as was my want at the time.
Some of those posting their opinions were at best buffoons at worst villains of most undesirable character.
Rather than raising the temperature of the threads and applying a blow-torch to those I have found wanting, I shall show my displeasure by snorting with contempt and derision in their approximate directions.
Baaah!!!
T8D
Indeed.
I have found the blow torch to be a great tool when applied to a stubborn drongo.

Stone the flaming crows Shifty! Its just occasionally some flaming galah with their brain switched off and mouth set to dribble excreta makes some comments that are about as welcome as a fart in a phone box. After that the yobbo thinks that they are as flash as a rat with a gold tooth.
Some of those fellas arguments couldn't pull the skin off a custard.
Any way Hooroo, got to do the Harold Holt and see what the trouble and strife wants.
(See what I did there Shifty)
And then they try come the raw prawn when asked if they are fair dinkum.
And even when caught out red handed they try and act like a dingo stole their baby.
Feh, I say. FEH!
Bubble, splash, bubble
Why all the hate?
Why all the hate?
Adds his own snort of contempt for the simpering fools who have gone overboard because a low ranking militaery officer has announced his engagement to a middle class salesgirl.
Feh!!!!

Mate, try ockering up with a few more integrated adjectives:
And occasionally resting with a schooner in me mitt,
And on one of these occasions, when the bar was pretty full
And the local blokes were arguin' assorted kind of bull,
I heard a conversation, most peculiar in its way.
It's only in Australia you would hear a joker say:
"Howya bloody been, ya drongo, haven't seen ya fer a week,
And yer mate was lookin' for ya when ya come in from the creek.
'E was lookin' up at Ryan's, and around at bloody Joe's,
And even at the Royal, where 'e bloody NEVER goes".
And the other bloke says "Seen 'im? Owed 'im half a bloody quid.
Forgot to give it back to him, but now I bloody did -
Could've used the thing me bloody self. Been off the bloody booze,
Up at Tumba-bloody-rumba shootin' kanga-bloody-roos."
Now the bar was pretty quiet, and everybody heard
The peculiar integration of this adjectival word,
But no-one there was laughing, and me - I wasn't game,
So I just sits back and lets them think I spoke the bloody same.
Then someone else was interested to know just what he got,
How many kanga-bloody-roos he went and bloody shot,
And the shooting bloke says "Things are crook -
the drought's too bloody tough.
I got forty-two by seven, and that's good e-bloody-nough."
And, as this polite rejoinder seemed to satisfy the mob,
Everyone stopped listening and got on with the job,
Which was drinkin' beer, and arguin', and talkin' of the heat,
Of boggin' in the bitumen in the middle of the street,
But as for me, I'm here to say the interesting piece of news
Was Tumba-bloody-rumba shootin' kanga-bloody-roos.

Aren't you overseas or something?
Ah to be out in the GABA. (The Great Australian Buggerall..ie 97% of the entire country)
Ah to be out in the GABA. (The Great Australian Buggerall..ie 97% of the entire country)
Not much on the other-side of the Great Dividing range, except Yowies, Wokkademons, dropbears, serial killers, Mad Max style road gangs, Min Min, Bunyip, dessert, Lassiters lost reef of gold, the Greys, Hanging rock, Wave Rock, Uluru, Black Mountain, Land Crocks, giant poisonous snakes, carnivorous Kangaroos that hunt in packs like Velociraptors, The Demon Duck of Doom, bogans, westies, the inland sea, unexploded nuclear weapons and the platypus.
I guess that's all out beyond Black Stump.

The Platypus is the most dangerous - the Vorpral Bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail has nothing on a Platypus....

Becasue they are BOTH sides of the Great Dividing Range...
Actually there's a lot of really nasty stuff in the Australian wilderness, and I've had two annoying scorpion encounters.
Less talking, more derisive snorting. GAR!
Meh.
Less talking, more derisive snorting. GAR!
Pfft, Whateva!
Huh!!!
Huh!!!

Yeah I was tossing up an alternate Oz with a heavy Dreamtime influence, like I mean, what if the Bunyip was for real? What crazy stuff might be lurking deep in the red centre? What if Ayers Rock (Uluru for the PCSquad) was the lair of the BBEG?
GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN!!!!
Pshah!!

Dang you got my hopes up.
Blech, feh, snort.
Adds his own snort of contempt for the simpering fools who have gone overboard because a low ranking militaery officer has announced his engagement to a middle class salesgirl.
I must be getting old... I have gone from a staunch Australia must be a republic to - send us one of the less inbred Germans you have ruling your country and we will make them our monarch... So we dont have to share rulers... I wonder if the Danes would let us have one of Princess Mary's brood then they would at least be half Australian.....

Our Federal Constitutional Monarchy (Some times called the WashMinster system because it shares elements of the US and Westminster(UK) systems of government)works ok - its not perfect in any way. The problems with the Australian government do not come from the top but from the multiple levels of government below. I think we need to tighten that up before we start fafing about with the head of state.
I like the fact that we don't have "Presidential Style Elections" that drag on for months... I like that all parties have a limited time and that the funds have to be declared. If we replace our head of state with a President then that person will then have no customary or historical restraints on using the powers that the Monarch or their representative the Governor General have.
In a presidential style of government it is the leader that is most important and when they are stuffing up they can not be removed by their party unless it is pre-selection for an election (even then I don't know if an incumbent president has lost the support of their party and been replaced for the next election).
The to be Prime Minister you have to be leader of your party. This means a that the Prime Minister can be replaced. A prime example of the way the Australian system works is the recent sacking of former Prime Minister Rudd by his party and his replacement by Julia Gillard - Rudd according to his party was not performing his job well enough and the Party held a vote he lost and was no longer the leader of the party and could not be Prime Minster.
I wonder how many Republicans wished that they could do that with Bush or how many Democrats wish that they could do that with Obama.
Why the um change of heart?
Because our last election showed two inalienable truths.
We can't make a decision to save ourselves, and our best two candidates for the top job in the land were complete crud.
Simply put, we have lost the ability to sort ourselves out and gone backwards to low-rentville
Bring back Paul Keating.

Paul to manage the money and tell the useless bastards where to go and Gough for his vision and his crash or crash through go for it attitude.

Pah...Presidents...if we had one it would be Tony Blair and that is just horrible beyond imagination.
Oi Blair...NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Paul Keating was the best PM the World has ever had, and his comments belong in this thread.
Blarrgh
How about Reptile Cult of The Crocodile out in the remote Kimberleys?
I've come across heaps of awesome places travelling the outback that would have made excellent 'encounter areas'.
Trogs/Lizard men shamans, and pet Salties... all on a river bourne adventure.
I'm back baby. All survived the harrowing experience of a 5-star Fijian beach resort.
Good loot?
