Australia Day

Aussie Aussie Aussie
Oi Oi Oi.

Saw a toilet at Manly beach the other day missing the T... spelling oilet... very Aussie.

Australia Day here at the moment. Got up at 5:30am went down to the park to see the hot air ballons take off.

Watched the news and saw that the Australia of the Year is a scientist... much better then chosing another sportsman.

PROFESSOR Ian Frazer, named Australian of the Year last night, may not be a household name but he should be - he has found a vaccine for cancer.

Professor Frazer has pioneered a vaccine for the human papilloma virus - which causes cervical cancer - a breakthrough that could wipe out the cancer.
Cervical cancer is the No.2 cancer among women, with 500,000 new cases diagnosed worldwide each year.

Australia has about 700 cases of cervical cancer diagnosed every year and about 270 deaths from the disease.

Have a great day all you Aussies. :cheers:

In your honour, I'll hang my Australian flag (compliments of barocca and TNG).

I bow to a fellow colony.

Fosters for all!

I was thinking: "Wait a minute, Ozzie Day is the 26th; he's a day early!".

Then realized: "Oh yeah...Int'l Date Line." "Du-uh".

Hope it is (was?) happy!
