A treasure of Albany. Where Woolworths sponsored ANZACS left from. Complaining about what a craphole it was. Literally couldn’t wait to leave and fuck up foreigners. In their own countries. ANZAC day can piss off now. We looted Damascus so we could have parity with the Kiwi Copec? I don’t fucking think so.
I’m not sure which is more hideous, TLA: the mother fucker of pearl inlay, or your grammatic contortion in the second sentence. A well-observed worst regardless; up there with the mallee root clock, etc.

Anzac “celebrations”: Bread and Circuses anyone?
‘Auntie’ ABC is flooding the airways with endless boring repetitions of this historic crap, and the SBS is much the same. (I have no idea what the “Free-to-Air” commercial charlatans are up to.)
Expensive jingoistic clap-trap of this kind is the last thing we need in a world fractured by sectarian violence and militaristic imperialism.
My sense of humour is waning fast.

Don’t forget, those who left Albany returned and a few years later voted to seceed from Australia, the biggest subversion plot in the history of the country. Not a word of how grandad voted by the old families lining up for freebies. How many remember Lighthorseman Enie Bain riding his white horse down the Terrace? Most interesting bloke – retired to Wattle Grove from the Gascoyne and never lost his Scots accent, don’t know how his horse understood him.

If it was a White Horse then it was clearly Scotch too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Horse_(whisky)
A white horse walks into a pub and asks the barman for a whisky.
‘That’s funny,’ says the barman, ‘we’ve got a whisky here named after you.’
‘What?’ says the horse. ‘Eric?’
no waning here.

I have to write a stern message to the Lazy Aussie here…
Much as I admire him as speak his name in hushed tones in the highest circles, I feel the photos I sent him of the (hideous) Kalgoorlie souvenir mug for sale in gumtree for a mere $2, yes check that folks, $2, was far more worse worthy.
And that bargain of a lifetime came with 2 Liquorland shop a dockets so you could rodent futtocked with said mug.
Or maybe he snapped up said bargain so he didn’t want to miss out by posting it…pretty sneaky LA…
