View Full Version : Bonfire night in Oz? mickeyb 10-30-2007, 12:55 PM Do you guys celebrate it? Guy Fawkes/Bonfire night??....... ....... just wondering. mgkirkpatrick 10-30-2007, 12:58 PM i think we use to.. im pretty sure i've heard my old boy refer to guy fawkes night.. fireworks are illegal pretty much everwhere in aus.. i remember going up to darwin and they are allowed fireworks one night a year.. might have been a guy fawkes thing.. it was pretty cool but i know why it's banned.. we were a bunch of kids running around lobbing explosives at houses and people mickeyb 10-30-2007, 01:05 PM i think we use to.. im pretty sure i've heard my old boy refer to guy fawkes night.. fireworks are illegal pretty much everwhere in aus.. i remember going up to darwin and they are allowed fireworks one night a year.. might have been a guy fawkes thing.. it was pretty cool but i know why it's banned.. we were a bunch of kids running around lobbing explosives at houses and people Yeah that pretty much is what goes off in England too. I was just wondering if the tradition had travelled and remained to Oz thats all. Oh well. Bonfire night is coming up soon! :). Then after that... its the run up to Christmas! Get in! mgkirkpatrick 10-30-2007, 01:17 PM haha get amongst mickey you big kid. hmm got a pickle for this christmas season.. work banana picking.. hard physical labour.. early starts.. lots of hours...

Banana picking. Your a strong lad - if the works hard you won't mind if you've got your pal there and you don't have to put up with cunts. Plus regular hours and nights off means that you can relax and have more time to yourself. it wont be such a drag. I bet if you take the first option, you'd be thinking "thank **** i did this instead of option 2." and vice versa. mgkirkpatrick 10-30-2007, 01:28 PM yeah this is true. the biggest hassle will be re adjusting my body clock.. its 330 am here and if i work that job ill have to be getting up at 5am. summer heat will be a cunt but i think the bananas are probably the best option. haha by the way sorry for the thread hijack mickey i thought i was posting in the lang :S mickeyb 10-30-2007, 06:07 PM Its ok mate. You answered the questions. I'd say go with banana picking. To be honest - i've worked nasty, boring and **** jobs... but they always seem palatable if the workmates are cool. But its tough working the best job in the world with absolute wankers. |
