Aussies (and Kiwis) 2

[November]

Since the last thread is over 200 posts I thought I should start a new one ( I duno if that rule applies to this section or not but I figured it wouldn't hurt) And Kiwis can join in too🙂

Its always nice to see local talent around when you're abroad hey DoI, Mind you, I haven't really been overseas (cept USA and Rotto hehe) but I know I got all excited seeing a Perth band in Sydney once 🙂 LOL

I dont have Foxtel or anything Bunnies so I watch Buffy or Angel quite often when Im drunk on DVD 😛 Especially OMWF hehe. Its when I get most of my mates to at least watch some form of Buffy. But I think I turn them off with my singing pretty quick.

Anyone else already incredibly bored with the state election? Im glad it is not too far off, I have no idea when I am going to get down to vote though, I'll be hell busy all day. Oh well do they do postal votes on state elections? They are soooo much easier.

Anyway I hope all my fellow Aussies around the world are happy and healthy and having a good day 🙂

I'm pretty sure they do postal votes for state elections too, I saw someone in my lecture today filling one in. Buuuuut I could have been mistaken as to what it was.

I haven't even been paying attention to when it's actually on. Knowing me I'll totally forget on the day and cop a fee for not voting. FUNFUN!

 

[ItMustBeBunnies]

I must admitt Im terrible when it comes to politics! I dont pay attention at all! I just go, vote for Labour or the Greens then get the hell out!, I got a question for you, is the Air I Breath or Southland Tales out in Australia? never saw em at the movies (I dont think anyone did!) so I am waiting for them to come out on DVD so I can rent them from the video store.

I'm a young Lib so i'm not 'allowed' to be fed-up with the election already lol, but i'm feeling you, cause when i'm not involved in them they are SO BORING and everywhere 🙁

i miss the election stuff, i'm usually at boozy political dinners every night around this time! damn, i should totally go home!

 

[November]

OOh yeah Lily come home and take me along to these boozy liberal parties!!
Aleris, is there an election in NSW too? Im hoping I can do a postal vote but I duno if they know my new address?? hehe ooops 😛
Bunnies Southland tales should be in the new release section of your local video shop, I saw it just recently. I wouldnt get too excited about it though.

ok thanks! oh boy Ive had a rotten day, Kinslayer is tring to cheer me up by sending me Aussie Jokes.....damn they are terrible! really off colour and sterotypical! I dont think Ive ever said "G'day" and meant it! Gotta love kin, hes just trying to help! lol. Do aussie sterotypes bother you guys? they dont make me furious or anything but, I do get frustrated that other countries think we are all a bunch of bogans! lol.

Ok, so I can´t do a joke to save my life so what do I do? I ran to the nearest aussie I know and asks for help. Get some bad jokes but thinking still better than nothing. Feels bad about it so I run to google for help. Seems the cheering up needs to be done real fast so I don´t bother to read the jokes. Just sending her links and throw in a little Monty python as well. I try my best but jokes isn´t my thing!! 🙁 Who said I was a funny guy? But I can send you some jokes about swedes if that would make things better? You know, many of us are blondes so that makes for some jokes. 😉

Love you bunnies! :hug: And Aussie, Lily, Aleris, Doi, Bubble Buffy, Drusillarox and everyone else I forgot. :grouphug:

Oh, and I forgot. Yes, ALL of Aussies jokes rule. 😉

Can you tell some Aussie jokes? I don't know any yet 😀
This reminds me of a situation I had a couple of weeks back. Inge and I were riding the bus to Maastricht, when we heard some oldish lady make a joke about Germans...well the funniest thing about it was that I actually understood all of it, with my nice Dutch skills, and complete played like I couldn't understand a word of what they were saying.

 

[Lily]

mwahahah i love doing that on the train, I speak enough french to understand at least the jist of conversations and it is so hilarious hearing the french tourists bagging out the other people on the train, I usually just smirk at them, and keep quiet, but this one guy about a month ago was being SUCH a jackass, as I got off the train I insulted him in French, it was so fun to see his face go all pale heehee

I don't know many Aussie jokes, I know a few about other countries that Aussies like to rag on, but that's about it 😀

 

[DrusillaRox]

mmm......canada gets a bad rap. anyone whos seen family guys knows what I mean! hey all

Hi ya I was just wondering have any of you met any of the cast of buffy or angel?, Id really love that, but everytime a convention or something was on I never heard about it, I guess coming on here ill be up on whats going on. The idea of going to a convention always seemed a little (makes that star trek gesture with her hand) "go forth and prosper", but now I really wanna go to one! There is only one friend I could probably drag to one...man if any of my friends knew I was chatting online and it was about buffy they would give me such a hard time for it! thats right you guys are my dirty little secret! lol. I have managed to meet alot of bands. At fox studios when they use to have bands play at channel v we would go down, Ive meet Queen's of the Stone Age, Garbage, Grinspoon, Foo Fighters and Powderfinger that way. Oh and just last month I somehow ended up in The Living End's dressing room having drinks with them! that was freaking awsome, they are really nice guys!.

 

[November]

Oh I'm so jealous! How did you manage that?^
There was a convention thing not long ago with a few diff sci fi personalities called SupaNova. Jewel Staite (Kaylee from Firefly) and Jared Padalecki (Sam from Supernatural) were there. I didn't go as they were the only thing/people I wanted to see and no one would have come with me either 😛 I think it is on every year but I'm not too sure. Here's the link anyway-
SUPANOVA POP CULTURE EXPO | Welcome
I duno of any others - especially in WA.
I get shit all the time for loving Buffy from my mates but they know its not guna shut me up so they dont really keep it up, and I have a few converts now so I dont mind 🙂

DrusillaRox - I have PLENTY of kiwi jokes hehehe

 

[DrusillaRox]

hmm......like what? I dont really know what my contry's stereotype is

 

[Washburne]

Can you blame me for sneaking in here? You´re all so lovely. *kisses ass*

I was just wondering have any of you met any of the cast of buffy or angel?

I know a Liverpool gal that has met some. ME buffy/angel peeps! OK, so I don´t know her personally. So sue me.

 

[DrusillaRox]

Oh yeah! SHEEP, I saw the movie Black Sheep, that was a 2 hour long kiwi joke

 

[Lily]

god that movie was terrible!
my best friend met Nick and James and I think ASH when she was at a a couple conventions, she's one of those people that will drive 8 hours and go by herself, I'm not like that, I'd have to have someone come with me, but she has awesome phtoos and I don't, so I guess it paid off! She went to the Sydney con that Sarah went to one year, but Sarah didn't do any autographs or photos *sigh* so that was a shame cause that's all I wanted!

 

[Tueuse de Vampires]

COmpletely random, but I have to tel this anyway 😀 I went to a bar tonight with one of my roommates, who goes to UCM, well there was some kind of UCM welcome party at that bar. Anyway, turns out there are TONS of Australian exchange students from Sydney going to UCM for this year...oh I just love to hear them talk English, haha. Well, unfortunately me myself, I'm not UCM (I'm UM) and since I have one of the few studycourses that is completely taught in Dutch all the people in my class will be either Dutch, Belgian or German...so no Aussies for me 🙁

 

[Lily]

aww you miss out on the aussies 🙁 I'm sad for you... because we're all highly amusing 😀

 

[November]

man if any of my friends knew I was chatting online and it was about buffy they would give me such a hard time for it! thats right you guys are my dirty little secret! lol.

Now here I thought 'Spuffy Fanfic' would be your dirty little secret! 😉 hehe I had to go look for some after that thread and :jaw_drop:!

And SS, you are missing out, there is sooo much more to Aussie blokes then the accent heh (Ok there are some duds too 😛 )

 

[DrusillaRox]

Hay! I would love to hear some kiwi jokes!
