    was it just me or was there a distinct rise in rampant patriotism this year… how un Australian

    i know… bordering on ignorant folly. i mean, real australians don’t wave flags - we’re too bloody lazy. we’re all too busy sinking piss and watching the cricket!

    didnt notice… was seriously hungover, lying face down in Sascha’s pool, then later moved to lying on the couch at uni gang BBQ, making Roddi and Rin kiss and hug me, and yelling at everyone.

    Another good one was a short letter in the paper last week which read:
    “Flags belong on poles, not on the shoulders of drunks.”

    And then there’s the personal annecdote… Walking home after a night out in Montreal (yes, I’m so worldly) we passed a lone person without a shirt (it’s about minus 15) wrapped in the ozzie flag and shouting, over and over again “F#$* you, you French f$%*s. You’re all a bunch of f$%*ing c$%*s! Straya kicks your a#%*s!”

    Just wait for ANZAC day - Zoe and I call it, “Ill-fitting suit day”.

    Well i finished the day in style: hitting the damn metal thing under the bridge at Ross River, wheeling my broken pushbike the rest of the way home, and being all bruised and unable to walk on saturday and limping all sunday and yesterday.

    nice, o?

    poor thing, rodi, i feel for you! Hope to get better and can come to Europe- no more bikeriding for you till then!!
    ciao

    and why did Roddi hit the metal thing? BECAUSE HE WAS DEAD DRUNK!!! Rodrigo 15 minutes before hitting the metal thing: “hey.. *hic!* where’s my bike?! where did I leave my bike…?”

    maybe if he hadn’t started drinking at 12noon, his pedal would still be attached, rather than lost…. : D

    Thanks a bunch Zoe!

    You just ruined my tragic and heroic accident story with those unimportant details about my drinking habits.

    By the way, that tshirt I was wearing that night was stained with red wine on the front and the back. I want to know who sprayed my back with red wine.
