Skippy the Bush Kangaroo .

[little curly alan ball]

In a refence de culture - and with a nod to the impending Ashes series later this year - , I feel I should mention a seminal Television programme I have just enjoyed .
It's topic was that icon of animals , beacon of bouncers , prince of pugillists , and the very essence of all things , Aus' , Skippy the goddamn Bush Kangaroo !!!
" Tut , tut , tut , ... Yeah , Skip . Dad's motor insurance sure has risen since last year . What ? He should have gone to , ..."

Anyway , even Germaine Greer bowed down to the Kingly Kanga' .
Mind , a few dark secrets emerged . Gender being the most prominent .
First , Skippy was a Flatty . He was not the All - Aussie Outback Shearer , in fact it was much more , Muriel's Wedding . More Kylie than Jason , all day long .
Analogy for Global perception of Trad' Aussie Manhood thingy , aside , of course , ....- cue , nose-tapping by rest of world's manhood - .
Anyway , turns out there wasn't just one Skip' , but 10 . Moreover , the bewildered beast was kept in a hessian sack in-between takes , thus ensuring dazed - docile , and refraing from escaping - demeanour for filming .
She was years ahead of her time on the Aborigine issue , too .
Then , the bastards go and show the Roo' feet . Loads of them . They used them as bottle openers , the sick bastards .
They showed pics of the production staff - off shot - operating them .
IT WASN'T SKIPPY . So , all those knots untied , radio recievers picked up , pianos played , all blag .
The magic has gone .
Still , the [Poor language removed] could tell YOU how to do it , even if she couldn't manage it herself , eh ???
So , in a homage to the Antipodean Animal of them all , - and to buzz off McB , et al - ,

Good on yer , Skip' !!!

" What's that , Skip' ??? The [Poor language removed] wants another bottle opening ??? " .....

TOP TEN THINGS BRITISH PEOPLE DO WHILE MCBAIN IS WAITING FOR A FLAME WAR LIST..

10. Put some more tires on the hearth. Wood probably ran out on your island around '97.
9. Check out what Pete Docherty/Amy Woodhouse/Russel Brand are up to in 'The Sun'. You love those really talented people you give so much time and money to...
8. Chuck on a bit of Susan Boyle to get you in the mood.
7. Renew your subscription to 'Snow Shovel Quarterly' and top up your Snow Salt supplies
6. Have a good old complain to anyone who'll listen in your funny accent.
5. Look up the word 'Dentist' for a laugh, and find out they really DO exist!
4. Pull out your prayer rug and pray to your Queen, maybe offer her a few sacrifices to keep her happy.
3. Put on the TV, provided you've paid up your 'stamp license'
2. Take a moment to remember what the Sun looks like...or have a look at the photo you took of it on the couple of days a year you can see it.

And the Number One British People Do While McBain Is Waiting For A Flame War is...

Check on how your Application for AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP is progressing!!!!

DID SOMEONE SAY WINTER OLYMPICS MEDAL TABLE?

 

[StDomingosGringo]

Oh oh is there a fence I can sit on here?

On the subject of Aussie wildlife I mowed the lawn yesterday and came across one of the most dangerous animals in the world. No I'm not talking about the Gringette in a hormone moment. I'm talking one of these bad boys.



Eastern Brown Snake 2nd most deadly venom of any land snake apparently. Mine was only about 2 foot long and maybe 3/4 inch in diameter but it still could have been bye bye Gringo. Of course as the Pom I am I was like, "Cool lets get a good look at you fella, ooh you're cranky" rather than killing him with anything that came to hand.

Save the whales, puppies for life and deadly animals in my yard, me.
