Celebrating Australia Day
And why shouldn't Australians have another day off to celebrate somemore? After all, its been a long 26 days since the New Year celebrations ended, so everyone's bound to be exhausted and need a well deserved break to recuperate! This year because Australia Day fell on a Thursday most people took the Friday off aswell to make it into a long weekend... So here I am, an English guy in Australia and I couldn't let all the Aussies get away with it...so I took them off too! So this year has got off to a great start so far!!
How should an Englishman spend his time while the Australians are celebrating their sacred day off?...Well, I would have to recommend going to a friend's barbeque where loads of Aussies are watching Australia play Sri Lanka in cricket and remind them all who won the Ashes and that their team is packed with English convicts!! Miraculously I left the barbeque at my own will and without any bruises... but they did manage to shut me up with a red hot chilli burger!!
