Australia Day 2024

Post by Oldbloke » 26 Jan 2024, 8:18 am

Anyone raise the flag? I have one out the front yard.

Anyone celebrating? What are you doing?

I was going to a mates house for the traditional BBQ lunch. It's always a big day for him. Unfortunately he was admitted to hospital yesterday into palliative care.
Two mates are visiting after lunch.
I'll visit with another mate tomorrow. :(

Hunt safe. A bit more bang is better.

Won't be raising the flag but I'll be filling the air with smoke from the grill at around 6pm...!

My stance on gun control depends on firearm, caliber, wind, and obstacles.

Personally, I've always thought of January 1st as when "Australia" proper, came into being.

I don't bother celebrating the establishment of a British penal colony.
Courage is knowing it might
hurt, and doing it anyway.
Stupidity is the same

And that's why life is hard
