Only if the announcer uses an ominous sounding recording.
We need a Big Walk regular meetup. Someone get it going please.
Don't go to the Waltzing Matilda Wikipedia unless you want to get lost in a rabbit hole.
My understanding is that they are seperate. Jordan posted about this a couple of weeks ago. It talks about both issues. I'll see if I can find a link.
Edit: it's Facebook. It's a bit lengthy. I use fb for work, so I'm not sure if this post can be read without being logged in. The text in the images is also in full plain text if you select 'see more'.
The mods and admins would let you know if there was an issue. I think 99.99% of aussie zoners appreciate your enthusiasm and gusto.
I expect these protests to be sizeable. The last round of them were. The group is a Socialist Alternative initiative, along the lines of CARF, Students for Palestine etc. I'm not sure if it's broader than that and if The Socialists or any other groups are also building these protests.
I wouldn't have thought to compare them to what's happening in Europe.
Did anyone go to one of the protests? I totally forgot as I WFH and don't live in Vic. Would be cool to see horse racing ended.
It was high school and also my pop that introduced gambling to me. At school they had that hat draw thing where everyone puts money in and draws a name out of a hat. I'd never heard of it before but all the other kids seemed to know about it. I had two home room groups for some reason and in both groups I drew Lets Elope. When pop called that evening he asked if he could put a bet on for me, which he'd never done before. I only knew there was Lets Elope so I said that.
So after those small wins pop invited me to a couple of races. I really didn't understand the appeal but my aunties, uncles and cousins were talking about how they went all the time.
One day I visited some of those cousins after we had all grown up. Someone suggested going out for a drink, great idea. But we ended up at a club, not a bar or hotel, and they all proceed to head to the pokies and start throwing their money away. I really didn't understand what the fuck was going on. So I just waited for them to finish giving away their money on the pokies before we all went back to their place.
My cousin's all turned out mostly fine, but it was really weird watching them give money away to a machie like that.
There are lots of Nup to the Cup! events coming up, some a bit too fancy for our tastes. I hope the campaign grows and kills the racing industry.
The Lenin stuff is the best part of that whole series, and yet it is so fleeting compared to all the royal melodrama.
You mean Patrick Stewart.
Both films OK. That's about it.
Resident Evil is fine. Nothing you haven't seen before. Which begs the question, why? Maybe this is a "one for me (the director) and one for the studio" kinda film. The only reason I went to see this is because I have fond memories of watching my younger brothers playing the original game for the first time and all three of us screaming in the dark at the first zombie reveal.
Hope is the real disappointment. Coming after previous films The Chaser, The Yellow Sea and The Wailing. What a massive stumble. The film has a great opening but then things go off the wall and not in a good way. It's a mess. I am shocked. There are glimpses of what could have been throughout film. Maybe the director has lost the plot or bit off more than they could chew.
