i got the impression it was like, "hey i'm gonna level with u here", kind of similar i guess

here we say it in that tone when we're mad exasperated with someone so it's kind of comically o_O to hear clarke say it 10 times to atherton, say

haha

sports use is down to media training i reckon - gives user time to formulate (bland) answer without sitting there saying nothing

that bird from packed to the rafters

This Australian tonal usage is now pervasive throughout Irish sport, btw, presumably through the influence of your rugby coaches.

Incidentally there's a rough equivalent with English working class football people, where they'll suddenly say, "but no" and follow it with something serious, as if switching from a BANTER mode that often wasn't actually present.

Pollies do it too, a bit. "look the thing is, [insert massive load of bollox here]"

is courtney barnett very famous in australia

At least among the young/indie/JJJ crowd, yeah for sure.

My friend looks like her.

mine looks like Penn Gillette.

But seriously, how did Australia get away with not doing putting a supergroup together to fight hunger in the 80s? UK did. USA did. CANADA DID, WITH VERSES IN FRENCH EVEN.

You had the Peter Garrett, Colin Hay, the INXS dudes, Olivia Newton John... Could've called it "Southern Cross (To Bear)" or something like that.

Some curly-headed dude going balls out on the chorus, rest of the world goes Wow, who's that? And you all are, IT'S JIMMY BARNES, MATE. YOU'RE THE ONES WHO HAD STEVE PERRY AND BURTON CUMMINGS IN FRONT ON YOURS.

Hm... no, we did do one, I think. Wait here I'm gonna look it up. I think it involved the chantoozies or some horror. LOOK WHAT YOURE MAKING ME DO.

OK so we did a concert. No singles I can recall.

I dont ever recall watching Oz for Africa tho, it looked like balls.

A concert. May as well have done an ice bucket challenge too.

S-' friend really does look quite a lot like courtney barnett.

rest of the world goes Wow, who's that? And you all are, IT'S JIMMY BARNES, MATE.

ahahahaha!!

kinoath.

Can any fellow Australian interpret this for me? Maybe it's regional:

"whazzat mate? You want me to give you a fair go? There's no need to bung it on with me, you stunned mullet. Your pals left you like a shag on the rock. You managed to sneak by the doorman but I know a ring-in when I see one. Once I reach into my utility pouch it's all over for you. You've got me hopping mad now."

"What was that, good sir? Do you implore justice in my judgement? Sir, you are an imbecile and, as such, your buffoonery is quite transparent. Your friends left you complete alone. You may have initially fooled them into acceptance but I can detect a charlatan when I see one. Prepare for the end, good sir. It will come at the hands of an item in my gentleman's pouch. Possibly a tool of some sort. You have certainly vexed me. "

Chuzwozzer.

where should I go in Canberra to drink good local craft beer and whisky

Sydney.

My man knows of what he speaks.

Wig and Pen in the CBD (Civic) isn't too bad.

For beer anyway.

Be aware that the assholes in Canberra dont let you smoke anywhere you can drink, not even outside :(

Awesome, Wig & Pen is just around the corner from where I'll be holed up.

so how was it?

Flying out Saturday. Are there any kinds of American candy that Australians like and can't easily get a hold of?

Flying to the land of Tim Tams and Kinder Surprise, and you ask them if they want Reese's Pieces?

yeah, I don't know what I was thinking.
