Note: you'll have to wait until everyone is drunk to play khe sahn so everyone can sing along with a tear in their eye even though they were probably born well after vietnam.

oh i just remembered my mums sent pp a cd called "AUSTRALIAN LEGENDS" with a lot of these songs on it. Want me to ysi?

sunny successor, Thursday, 18 October 2007 17:52 (sixteen years ago) link

plz.

Also, these all seem like great suggestions so far and I'm very appreciative, but its not like an Aussie party or anything. It's just a club gig in a place that usually doesn't have a dj. And on this particular night there will be an abundance of Australians. So, non-aussie suggestions that might go over well is encouraged.

that age group? anything 80s.

one year passes...

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said: "Winning the right to host the 2018 Fifa World Cup is a Herculean task, but overcoming tough odds is what Australian football does best."

Australians, can you please provide me with some examples of these tough odds being overcome because I sure as fuck can't think of any.

here is one: when i tried out for macquarie university soccer it was january and i'd been in the country for four days. i was jetlagged and it was 36C. after ten minutes i threw up under the shade of a eucalyptus tree, but i still made the team. that is true grit.

caek, Friday, 6 February 2009 01:33 (fifteen years ago) link

admittedly i made the sixth team (of six), but i was their second best player!

caek, Friday, 6 February 2009 01:34 (fifteen years ago) link

getting an entire state obsessed with one of the most tedious sports in history is pretty tough odds

Calling AFL tedious is pretty rich if you come from the US or UK/Europe.

overcoming tough odds is what Australian football does best

Which sort of football, as SS just asked. If he means soccer then it makes sense: we never make it into the world cup, is the obvious one, so the one or 2 times we have everyone acts like we won the moon.

one art, please (Trayce), Friday, 6 February 2009 04:02 (fifteen years ago) link

overcoming tough odds is what Australian football does best

You'd think it was pretty unlikely that a football player could over play again following his partying with a biker days before the biker went on an amphetamine-fuelled rampage that culminated in a murder and two other people being shot wouldn't you?

Tough odds are:

- All major grounds are oval shaped. You can't see a fucking thing!
- "Soccer" is a "pooftah" game.
- Qatar's massive bid.
- Kosmina got the arse from Sydney FC which reduces A-League comedic incidents by about 350%.
- Australian Rules is a superior sport.
- It's just another excuses for the Serb and Croat communities to instigate urban warfare on each other.
- Townsville said they couldn't loan $10 to the bid after signing up Robbie Fowler for the NORTH QUEENSLAND FURY.
- There's still a few people in Sydney who insist that Rugby League is a sport.
- IT'S GOING TO BE FOURTY FUCKING DEGREES TOMORROW AT LEAST
- At least England will fuck it up somehow and won't win the bid.

we never make it into the world cup

We're leading our qualification pool! If we beat Japan next week, we're all but set for 2010.

Soccer doesn't exist, it's football.
