I know, they aren't nice, can't understand why people like them. My son loves them, he is such little Aussie, bless him, he has vegemite sandwiches nearly everyday
Hope you have a great day on Australia Day

Re: Australia Day??
NB you need to stop it now, your starting to scare me. You're right though, I've spent the money, paid my taxes, given up my home and business, added to the Australian population and regardless of the obviouse reasons for wanting citizenship for the future and to cater for whatever my boy might foolishly decide to do, I feel that I deserve to at least get the peice of paper for all my troubles.

Between you and me, NB is scaring me too.

Yep. He's the master of the little dig and no mistake - never one to see an argument fade away, when a little throwaway line can re-ignite the fires and he can watch from the sidelines - never getting fully involved, but happy to snipe...

Re: Australia Day??
I have several unrelated comments on this thread so far (none of which are Arkon-bashing - there are enough doing that
):
In 6 pages I only counted one post (not until the 23rd - well done Vash) actually refers to the significance of Australia Day
(and yet so many people are ranting on about citizenship - no one mentioned responsibilities that come with it like fighting for Australia in a war)
We have friends who have applied for their citizenship in the ward of Joondalup and the waiting list is about 6 months.
What is the obsession with fireworks??? We went to the ones at Hillarys before Xmas - spent two hours waiting for them and 45 minutes getting out of the car park just for 15 minutes of flash / bang
I have no idea why anyone would want to go into the city for Skyworks in the small hours to set up a camp site so they can be sit in the middle of a riot caused by pi55ed up teenagers just for said fireworks.

My birthday is on Bonfire night so fireworks are not my thing, been around too long to get excited about them I'm still unsure what Oz day is all about, so i suppose i'll just pretend and head to the pub

NB do you spell his name wrong on purpose?
Agree with you there Worzel. Hillarys fireworks were not worth getting out of bed for My birthday is on Bonfire night so fireworks are not my thing, been around too long to get excited about them
I'm still unsure what Oz day is all about, so i suppose i'll just pretend and head to the pub
