Tropers Down Under (I mean Australia you gutter-noggins)

Is anyone at Supernova? I'm not because I have to go to this inconveniently-timed climate rally with my dad.

So apparently the Cronulla Riots happened 10 years ago this week.

TRIPLE POST! Apparently tomorrow's 'Straya Day? Is anyone actually bothering to celebrate?

I'm going to the town celebration on the river. Might not stay long, but, you know, making the attempt and all

I have no plans whatsoever. Maybe I'll watch something Aussie, like The Rage In Placid Lake (it's been so long since I've watched it, it's ripe for a rewatch), but nothing else.

At the celebration now. Got an Australian flag and an Aboriginal flag. Did not get a sausage sandwich

I have done nothing even vaguely Aussie. I got up at 5am and rewatched some Boosh. Which has got to have been the least Australian thing I could've done this morning.

Not from Oz (or even on the same side of the planet as Australia), but thought that some of y'all might find this image, found on Facebook, amusing.

Can confirm, we are all aliens. How else would we not fall off the world, being upside-down all the time?

Woooo! Did they let your pick your own thing to have written on it, or do they all say that?

Mine was "C. Enforcer". As in Chief Enforcer. Cos I used to yell at the rowdy kids to shut up.

I got to choose myself.

Cool

Greetings. I've just migrated to Melbourne this January , and am due for an interview at my new school tomorrow. I'll be going into Year 10 despite being a year older and HOW DO YOU GUYS CHOOSE YOUR SUBJECTS I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP

No response…?

…okay.

Sorry, can't really help. I'm not that familiar with how the Victorian school system does it

At my school (I'm in Brisbane) the first year of high school has every elective for 1 term so that we know what we like.

I think in Victoria, every school curriculum is kind of different despite the national curriculum being in place. You can usually do electives without it affecting what subjects you do in VCE. You can even do 3/4 subjects without doing 1/2. You should be fine. What electives are you doing?

Oh yeah, a Tasmanian, eh? When did you get your second head removed?

I, too, would like to know the answer to this

So, apparently, we might have a double dissolution coming up in July or something.

Can't we just pick someone nice and stick with them??

Lets steal Bernie Sanders.

Possibly!
