This is Sally from Brand Power.
She tells me that Milo (an Australian milk drink) is all natural and packed full of goodness rather than sugar and crap like that.
Obviously I believe her. She has nice tits.

Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson - Monkey On A Wire
They make no sounds, They ring no bell
Leaving no traces, They got no tales to tell
They find no home, They make no love
Casting no shadow while balancing above
Oh oh here I go me and my desire
Everyones got their own monkey on a wire
Oh oh down below, leader of the choir
is waiting for the next monkey on a wire
They keep no fear, no second prize
Walking like Jesus with voodoo in their eyes

Sweet toothed thieves caught in sticky situation | The Australian
THREE sweet-toothed thieves with the late-night munchies have nabbed a chocolate vending machine in Melbourne. A night-shift van driver patrolling Camberwell in the city’s east spotted three men trying to lift the $10,000 machine onto a ute in Albert Street about 1.15am (AEDT). Police allege the trio had unplugged the machine from the foyer of a Hawthorn East hotel and pushed it a short distance up the street before returning to one of their houses to get the ute. “The men told police they stole the machine because they felt like (having) chocolate,” a Victoria Police spokeswoman said. A 21-year-old Bairnsdale man and a 23-year-old Hawthorn man are expected to be charged on summons with theft. Police are yet to speak to the third man.Good morning, Melbourne.

Almost nobody who follows me is Australian, and those that are might not agree with my politics, but I think this, THIS, is perfect.
An apology without compensation is nothing more than symbolic sleight-of-hand.

“ We are sorry,” Mr Rudd told a gathering of 1,000 of the victims at Parliament House.
“Sorry for the tragedy - the absolute tragedy - of childhoods lost.”
“Sorry that as children you were taken from your families and placed in institutions where so often you were abused. Sorry for the physical suffering, the emotional starvation and the cold absence of love, of tenderness, of care.

Me: Let’s move to Australia, they have great food and culture and seem to be a generally nice bunch of people.
Matthew: No way man, fuck Australia, have you seen those spiders?
Me: Really? You’re gonna discount Australia because of the giant spiders? Fuck those spiders. I eat spiders for breakfast.
Matthew: They have a shit ton of snakes there, Lia.
Me: Fuck that. How about Canada?
