Today is Australia day … a day where all Aussies get to take the day off, get drunk and generally have a mere old time.
In other words, a normal day in ‘straya.
Of course, it’s supposed to celebrate the day the British fleet arrived and raised the flag of Great Britain – not England, Great Britain – way back in 1788.
Given how many Aussies want independence from the Commonwealth, I’d suggest the best strategy for the pro-Monarchists is to say, “if you have independence, you can’t have this day off”, though of course, they’d counter by saying they’d celebrate the day they were officially ‘out on their own’ instead.
Oh well.
I have fond memories of Australia Day … no one celebrates national days off like the Aussies – except maybe the Irish – so to all Australian’s out there [except my wife and my team members – yes, that’s you Paula], enjoy your day but remember Vegemite is still a shit version of Marmite, Tim Tams are a poor mans Penguin and your version of Humpty – from your version of Playschool – looks like a pedophile compared to the sophisticated and stylish version that appeared on UK TV screens.
Told you.
Seriously, what were the people at ABC TV thinking!?
If anything explains why you need to stay in the Commonwealth, it’s that.
Have fun … until tomorrow … when the monotony of reality hits you all over again.

What’s worse is Otis’ grandparents – knowing my hatred of the Aussie Humpty – bought him a toy one to play with. I know they probably disapprove of me as a son-in-law but surely that’s a step too far.
Comment by Rob January 26, 2016 @ 8:16 amits unfair on poor fucking otis but i still like jills parents style.
Comment by andy@cynic January 26, 2016 @ 8:55 amYou would.
Comment by Rob January 26, 2016 @ 1:59 pmAussies may know how to party but they don’t know how to make playschool characters. I bet their version of little ted looks like a horse.
Comment by DH January 26, 2016 @ 6:37 amThose ugly egg shape freaks explains everything about why limey aussies turn out the way they do. America has sesame street, you have a school for freaks with Hugh Grant hair.

Comment by DH January 26, 2016 @ 7:44 amYou have characters who live in bins and abuse people. Basically, Sesame Street teaches kids to look down on the poor. We’ll probably discover it’s part of Donald Trump’s election campaign.

I used to like Australians until you drew my attention to their violation of Humpty,
Comment by George January 26, 2016 @ 7:14 amI’m glad you agree George.
Comment by Rob January 26, 2016 @ 8:18 amOtis loves the Aussie Humpty. He prefers it. That’s your boy! Your humpty is green, he looks sick, like an off egg.
Comment by The one you torment every day January 26, 2016 @ 5:35 pmI never post on your blog because I know I’ll never hear the end of it but back off on the Tim Tams. You can not win that battle. Oprah agrees.
So can I have a day off?
I’m not sure if this is Jill or Paula. Eitherway, you’re wrong.
Comment by Rob January 26, 2016 @ 5:36 pmGive Jill the day off. She deserves it for putting up with your shite day-in, day-out.
Comment by The one you torment every day January 26, 2016 @ 5:50 pmAs opposed to you, who just has to put up with my shite Monday to Friday.
