Skippy the Bush Kangaroo .

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 ??? " .....

Blimey mate I cant understand a word of yah. Any possibility you could put it in point form or something.
 
Just humour him mate, and drop a couple of 'bob' in his hat when you go past Goodison.

To the tune of "my ol man's a dustman"

The Aussies love the English, you might find it quite strange
'Cos we sent them all down under, with only balls and chains
And when they see the English, they always shout and scream
But when they had the chance to vote they voted for the Queen!
God save your gracious Queen
Long live your noble Queen
God save your Queen (you're a convict)
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over you
God save your Queen.

This .
 
no such thing cobber.

there is a union flag and a jack is a term used for any flag.
the union flag is made up of all of the flags of the union.
the navy refer to it as a union flag when not flying, but when it is flying it is known as a union jack (as it it is atop a jack).

Don't bother Reid's .
Education would be a pre-requisite , and , as we all know , all convicts spend their schooldays outdoors at the various Academies they never fail to laud .

Tell you what though , I never realised that a Thread on a genuine T.V. prog' would produce such chip-on-shoulder(s) , response from
Down Under .
Oh , and , " My one-eyed trouser snake " , was also true . Barry McKenzie . You-Tube it .
THAT , is the Global perception of the boomeranger's .
FACT .

( I'm still laughing at McB's , " Waiting for your Aussie Passport , .. " , gag . )
Bush Fires , Skin Cancer , General lack of Ozone Layer , Great White's , Fuk Off Spiders Everywhere , Birds with muscles , Glen McGrath , Droughts , Gaffs called Wogga Wogga ,... yet our upside down cousins retain a sense of humour .
Gotta love them , btw .
 
Political Correctness eh? We can still have a laugh over here...



What the What? This coming from the race that tried to bonk everything on Planet Earth? The US kicked you out, the Indians, the Chinese, and now its our turn.



If thats a wind up, I ant wound up.

For the record I love threads like this, gives us a chance to get the cobwebs out, and puts you pommies back in your place.

At the arse end of world cricket that is.
