Ridiculously quiet here in Sydney. No smell of burning meat and no pissed people wandering the streets.

And if you think the current second verse sucks, be glad we ditched the original second verse.

quote:

When gallant Cook from Albion sailed,
To trace wide oceans o'er,
True British courage bore him on,
Til he landed on our shore.
Then here he raised Old England's flag,
The standard of the brave;
"With all her faults we love her still"
"Britannia rules the wave."
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.

Has anyone one mentioned that we gave a self-entitled, privileged, drunken, sexist, racist, completely un-self-aware oval office a knighthood? Toned Abs is a fuckin genius comedian.

Tony gave Phil a knighthood in the hope of scoring one of his own from ERII down the track. I don't think anyone has a clue how Phil is supposed to have "served Australia", let alone with distinction.

I like it when at sporting events the first verse finishes, everyone sits down, but then... the music keeps going??? And the singer in the middle of the stadium keeps singing? And everyone looks around at each other like what the gently caress is going on mate, why are they making up more words for the anthem, that's loving un-Australian is what it is mate.

Also at the Sydney Olympics, when they sang the USA national anthem all the Seppos were standing up, hand on heart, shedding a single patriotic tear and roaring out the lyrics with all their might. Then the Australian anthem comes on and everyone kind of forgets the words after "Australians all eat ostriches" and start vaguely mouthing the words they think are right, trying to see what other people are singing. Is it "history's page" or "history's stage"? I don't loving know! No one loving knows!

To be fair, I doubt many Brits know more than the first verse of God Save the Queen.

And really

quote:

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

is as clumsy as anything in AAF, but Yanks don't care and they'll belt out awkward lyrics anyway, whereas we mumble most of the lyrics under our breath.
