Yeah, it’s pretty noice!

It does have some trade-offs, though. I know you like the cooler weather, so this wouldn’t be very nice at all 😂🥵

@ToruOkada

Yeah, nah. That’s some magical thinking to justify doing what he wanted to do in the first place, I reckon.

The colours are always more vivid when the rain’s on the way.

Just passed this in North Curl Curl, New South Wales, Australia.

@Tacitus_Kilgore

I misjudged, too, but sadly I'm not as surprised as I thought I might be if this sort of thing happened 🤷‍♂️

@Satchelpooch

I think probably the latter TBH. You don’t hear it much anymore. Every now and again, some bloke in an Akubra hat will bob up at a sporting event or something and play it, and people will sing along to the chorus, but it’s not a ubiquitous presence.

I remember learning it as a new immigrant in the early 80s when I was in 6th grade, and the kids all thought it was a bit silly. Just a way to get lots of Strayan slang into one song 😂

I think older generations might like it more.

@Satchelpooch

I think there's still some debate.

Some say the swaggie represents the shearers' union's struggle against rich landowners (squatters), but others say that Banjo was just writing a fun thing for his girlfriend. I reckon the truth's probs somewhere in between. 🤷‍♂️

I've always thought that drowning himself to avoid capture was an overreaction, so the theory that he represents the refusal of workers to capitulate kinda makes sense.

Can't help much with the non-stickiness sorry! 😊

Please keep your eyes on a swivel, and be aware that they are actively trying to fool you.

The guy who created the disinformation and paid to have it shared is hiding in the Russian consulate in Sydney Australia because he'd be arrested if he goes outside:

@InUnfunky

Ah! There it is!

I knew I had this stored away somewhere:

@InUnfunky

Just yesterday, I was chatting with a mate about how everyone used to think it was a hoot when Granny Clampett in The Beverly Hillbilliies used to grab her shotgun and holler, "UP THE CONFEDERACY!"

And then there were those good 'ol boys, never meanin' no harm ridin' around in their car named after a traitor and with a big 'ol flag on the roof in The Dukes Of Hazzard 🤦‍♂️ 😬

@InUnfunky

It's a funny ol' place, America 😂

@Tarnagh

😂 Imagine the walk home if that's what happened 😂

@InUnfunky

@InUnfunky

My expectations were not high, TBH, but I thought one might write in Ike or something 😂

@Tarnagh

@Tarnagh

And it's a 50/50 split in Dixville Notch.

3 voted for Harris/Walz, and 3 voted for a barely sentient Cheeto in repugnant human form 🤷‍♂️

@InUnfunky

@InUnfunky

We always watched the buggers very carefully at the Quebec border. The Vermonters were much nicer 😉

@Tarnagh

And they've all voted, so the polls are closed, and the count begins! 🤞

@InUnfunky

@InUnfunky

They're voting in person there as we type. 🤓

@BillyBones

Thanks mate! That works, and there are several other ways to get around the Murdochs if one wants to, but it's the principle of the thing.

This format of cricket is my least favourite, so I can deal with it, but if they ever try to put Test Matches behind a Murdoch paywall, I'm getting my pitchfork out of the shed, and it'll be on!

@stueytheround

Another nation treasure! Aggers et al. FTW! 👏
