happy anzac day everyone!

anyone go to the dawn service? how rad were those jets a few mins ago.

lest we forget

Couldn’t talk my 9year old son into going to the dawn service this year. Maybe next year he'll be up for it.

By the time I heard the F111's going over they where gone!

I'll be watching the new Gallipoli production on the history channel tonight. It's supposedly very well put together.

.

I did dawn service at the Australian War Memorial. There were a LOT of people there.

Wasn't as cold as i feared.

Having a BBQ to celebrate the defeat of white devils.

4:28am dawn service with gunfire breakfast.

now gonna go to the normanby for an afternoon of steak and beer, my way of appreciating the way of life we owe the diggers.

w00t

went to the jimboomba dawn service, a lot of people, and being just this side of the ipswich mountians, was cold as all buggery. Met an english guy there who said that this was his first anzac day in australia (attended regularly in england) who was very surprised the amonut of children that were there and well behaved.

i'm gonna celebrate by trying to find a cafe or take away establishment that's open

No dawn service here. Never been to a dawn service, that I can remember.

What's 'gunfire breakfast'? :/

milk and rum to some. others have a different mixture.

I made the trek down to the War Memorial as well. It was pretty f***in' cold if you ask me!!!

Just about to head off for some two-up at Coogee RSL.

Just about to head off for some two-up at Coogee RSL.

Don't say that..... it is illegal. The cops will raid that joint now! Good one

^
Sifn't they wouldn't end up with another Eureka Stockade if they did
Besides, I thought Anzac day was the only day that 2-up was legal anymore. It used to be an available game at the Treasury cept it took up valuable slot machine floorspace so they "tossed" it :/

I thought it was that it was still illegal, they just 'ignored' the law. Or something equally as silly.

Anyone wanna explain why 2-up is illegal?
Because its gambling? I thought we were different to the yanks in that we could gamble ourselves?
On a related note, are we allowed to gamble poker etc?

Hmm, best I can find are two references to the only place in Oz where it IS legal is Kalgoorlie
Link 1
link 2

Australia's famed Bush 2 Up, the original and only legal bush ring in Australia, is played here.

I'll ask the johny reds at work for facts when I go back to work tomorrow

its legal on anzac day

its illegal because the government cant make any money out of it.

Security in Turkey will be going crazy with the bombings in dahab! Just got back from egypt sunday night.

mate of mine is a female australian in egypt

i was slightly nervous

nsw and victorian injured this time

im drunk on the internets, props to anzacs, fukn hard australian boys who fought for our freedom, muchos respect

"Happy Anzac Day"?

Is every holiday required to be prefixed by "Happy" these days?

Seems a tad inappropriate on this particular holiday...

I worked today but heard the F111's fly overhead. Has anyone seen Kokoda and is it any good?

Yeah in speedhax's words: "While we're still able to stand on our own 2 feet, lets stand for 2 min silence then get s***faced and act like f***ing gronks for the rest of the day in remeberance of our heroes and the freedom we enjoy today".

If you call that showing your respects then can't imagine what it'd be like showing your disrespects.

how about you don't comment on s*** you know nothing about. two-up and getting s***faced are ANZAC traditions.

luckily for us we don't have bullets whizzing past and our booze isn't made from boot polish.

Hey if you admit to disrespecting your own heroes then by all means but you know you're a f***ing disgrace and you'll never have any of the guts they did back then.

Sip away, just sip away.

drinking to celebrate might be disrespectful in your culture, not mine.

I have a beer or 10 with my grandad nearly every ANZAC Day, if he thinks this is is disprectful to him as a WW2 veteran and his father as an ANZAC he hasn't let me know yet.

I'll be sure to tell him your well educated opinion on the matter though.

Yeah. I was at Anzac Square. Arrived there at Midnight to put all the Barcades up. Then had to escort all the VIP's and Peter Beattie at dawn service. The F111's rocked hard. Then I went to Kedron Wavell RSL to march and for the service there. They had a old fighter plane fly over. Not as low as what he did last year though.

All in all wasn't a bad Anzac day.

ahhhh rofl, shut up f***** like you have any idea

For you information, i'm not the only one thinkning it's disrespectuful, there are aussies out there too that share the same opinion, not just with the excessive drinking and trash like behaviour, but also things holding things like concerts in the killing zone.

I'll be sure to tell him your well educated opinion on the matter though.

Really ? i never thought you held such value to my opinion. This the flag spidz fights for

im far more intelligent than you, and don't ever presume you know my thought patterns, you're just a s***head who wants to talk up your own f***ing opinions and no one f***ing cares, this is an australian thread, LEARN TO ASSIMULATE

im far more intelligent than you, and don't ever presume....

Stop, please stop, you've f***ed yourself over already.

The rest of your post is pure garbage anyway.

*Gulp gulp* YEAH BOOYAH! SPEAKING YOUR OPINION IS UNAUSRALIAN!! GET WITH THE PROGRAM *burp*

rofl Booyah, you are so clueless, yet you think you have a point, id hate to be you

Yeah not drinking makes me unaustralian and not worthy of an opinion.

My self esteem just went down the bloody s***ter =(

seriously, why post in this thread booyah?

yor constant 'you love america' bulls*** just shows how ignorant you are.

Hey do you see me objecting you posting in iraq/iran/muslim bashing thread ? if anything i was standing up for your heroes by saying they had guts for what they did and they demand real respect from you and not this typical partying that you do every second day of the week anyway. Instead i get racial slurs and get told my opinion doesn't count. Go figure.

I'm still entitled to an opinion no matter what i claim to be or where i come from. Isn't that the same freedom the anzacs fought for ?

Thanking you in advance.

1. I drink on ANZAC day with the very heroes you speak of, they have demanded nothing more of me.
2. All the diggers are straight off to the pub after the ANZAC day march, they enjoy a beer as much as the next bloke.
3. I'd be lucky to hit the booze once a month if that.
4. You're entitled to an opinion, but by saying drinking on ANZAC day is disrespectful, is to accuse the ANZACS of disrespecting themselves.
5. Read the muslim threads, I ask geniuine questions about it.
6. I don't discriminate against muslims - I think all religion is stupid.

ok i wasnt sure weather to pst this here or in a new thread but just watch the Gallipoli doco on the History channle and i have to say it was really moving..one of the best i have ever seen told the story of both sides not one sided or full of prpoganda like most usually are, my great grandfather was in the first world war and died in it cause the turks couldnt afford to give all the troop guns(well the syrian troops anyway).

but i have to say how ever you show your respect to those men that died make sure you do cause about the worst thing you can do in my book is disrespect those fallen fighting for there land. on both sides.

i dont even read the f***ing retarded muslim threads, like i give a s***, i dont post, i dont care

Hey, Booyah I agree with your above post but the silly flag pic you posted was very lame, dude.

speedhax give a s*** or not, i wasn't even refering to you about those threads you stupid dumb f***. Just quit already, you've proved your incompetance on more than one occasion.

Slaps, if i really wanted to be a c***, i could've said that the posted flag was the flag the anzacs fought for, but i showed some respect and directed it to a person i hold just about no respect for. Comprende ?

rofl, learn to post you loser

actually the ANZACS fought for the Union Jack, to their detriment :(

At least spidz is half decent at baiting. Zubhax's mum should've just swallowed.

I didn't see that you mentioned your mum in that post.

hahahha, i dont play yo momma jokes, just get a fukn beer into you, and have a good time instead of living your life thinking about politics and horses***, f*** man, if you're as australian as you say, respect we drink, we f***, we party, we have a good time, you wanna join in? fine, we'll accept you, just leave your opinions at the door, especially about drinking on ANZAC day, FFS, have some respect for the diggas

Who want's a mum that swallows??? I prefer my milfs to smear it all over their face an lips so that I can say to the kid "now I know why you kiss your mother with that mouth"

Live my life talking politics ? Actually i try to aviod it as much as i can, cause it usually always ends up in flames.

I really cbf'd nitpicking the rest of your s***ty post, but i think it goes something like this:

like right now, so learn a lesson and stfu, no one cares

Booyah normally I respect your insight and opinions on various things, but I really think you're being ignorant. Most of us respect your choice not to drink, be it religious or personal. I don't know. If people enjoying the day as they see fit as a tribute to the freedom that was won for them, you should respect that. If somebody choses to get smashed on ANZAC day, let them. This is a freedom that was bought for them with the blood of their ancestors and is by no mean ment to offend or disrespect.

How did I spend my ANZAC day? I woke up at dawn for my own moment of silence. I then spent the day doing things I enjoy and treasure having the freedom and rights to do. I read a book, watched a bit of TV, had a nap, went for a walk with a friend, listened to some music and did some work on a uni assignment.

What more could the ANZACS want from us than using the freedom they fought so hard for in the way we most want? Maybe you'd prefer it if we bow down to a stupid rock in the middle east three times a day, made our women hide themselves away in rediculous outfits, stone people to death for minor crimes and blew ourselves up to further our cause.

Hay guys don't drink on ANZAC day okay it's disrespectful????

Now if you'll excuse me I am just going off to cover my arranged flown in bride in a full body gown on a hot day. She better keep it on or I'll stone her good. Also I will generally look down on her as she is a woman.

FREEDOM

I'm refering to those party junkies that are in it cause it's another day off the week for some more s***facing, then go on claiming they're doing it for the anzacs when in fact they have no clue what it is all about.

I'm not asking you to change your life style either. FYI, muslims pray 5 times a day, not 3. They dont pray to a rock, it's the direction that you have to pray towards. Just goes to show the irony of the ignorance you mentioned earlier in your post.

You may as well pray to a rock.

Made any more new friends on xbox live potf*** ?

Some, but my gold membership expired yesterday and I haven't got around to upgrading it again.

Here's another game you can play in the meantime

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/zeezee/Random/wheeloffortunetshirt.jpg

he should be banned imo, he only posted negative lame s***, and is very unaustralian, this is an australian forum, and if you dont like it, f*** OFF

But i like it.

you like annoying people with your opinions

speedhax why dont you go and speed suck some one off mmkay?

So because I didn't drink yesterday (I don't drink at all) was I being disrespectful to the ANZAC's?

no it just means ur a fag

I get what Booyah's saying. Its not that its disrespectful to drink as such, its that its disrespectful in that a lot of wankers just use it as an excuse to get pissed when they really don't give a s*** about the diggers. These are the people that go around saying "I'm getting pissed on Anzac day cos thats what you're sposed to do lol" rather than "I'm enjoying a drink with mates to celebrate the freedoms retained for us by people who deserve our respect".

Also speedhax - unless you're an aboriginal you better f*** off with your assimilation bulls***. They were here first - are you assimilating with them, dips***? And if you say "but now white people are the majority" - take a look at the world f***head - Mohammed is the most common name for a reason....

aasumption, makes an ass out of you and ah.. umption.

Mohammed is the most common name for a reason....

because no tradition apart from islam has a first name given to damn near everyone

aha wtf im starting to think this nub (poofhax) is seriously coo coo upstairs.

That's exactly what i'm saying anarot, but i get replies like "but it's our anzac culture, and oh you bash women". *yawn*

AnaRoT nailed it on the head, and speedhax you really need to grow up.

Can we vote speedhax off the forums? PLEEEAAAASE?

you have my vote

mine too; f***wit

speedhax is just upset his panties are chafing him.

This thread needs about a dozen nukes. I miss Trog.

Just confirmed it with the powers that be at work and it's as I thought

2Up IS LEGALLY allowed to be played outside of a casino (eg pub, bowls club, RSL, someones backyard etc) on Anzac day by way of application for special dispensation. In general though, a blind eye is turned to any unauthorised game (allowing law enforcement a backdoor into shutting down rowdy parties who won't move on peacably etc...).

Other than that, 2Up can only played in a casino on days other than Anzac Day

Why is it illegal though? Its a harmless game.

Its a form of gambling and gambling outside of licensed premises is illegal. Simple as that.

i'll do whatever i feel like on anzac day, gosh!

Its a form of gambling and gambling outside of licensed premises is illegal. Simple as that.

So you and I could sit on the side of a main road, and bet each other as to what colour the next car would be that drove past next, and be arrested for it?

obviously with the kind of money you have at your disposal they probably wouldn't arrest you; similarly with people drinking wine at public bbqs
