Who Gives A Fuck?

Not me.

Honestly. It's just a boat, but a bit bigger.

Australians are like magpies sometimes.

SURELY THERE IS SOMETHING MORE NEWSWORTHY THAN THIS STUPID BOAT??

DID IT MAKE HEADLINES WHEN I WENT ON THE FAIRSTAR WITH MY FAMILY?? NO, I THINK NOT.

GET OVER IT!!

Well I happen to like big boats. I actually got up early to watch the thing from Cremorne Point.

I am also going to have a squiz at the QE2 at lunchtime.

If that makes me a magpie then so be it.

Australians always lose their shit when anything 'big' comes to Australia. How else do you explain the embarrassing hysteria when Paris 'Herpes' Hilton graced us with her presence earlier this year?

We seem to get flattered that anyone/thing would bother coming here.

WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST BE COOL ABOUT THINGS??

I would have liked to see this headline on the SMH:

LIKE... WHATEVER, A BOAT

Town Bike said...

FFS. The stupid boat cause major traffic problems all day.

TRAFFIC JAMS, PEOPLE!! I mean, come on... who are we... backward rural hicks who have never dun seen them big floating barns before?

Cletus says Cousin Merle ain't been quite right lately...

YEEHAW

I concur Town Bike - can anyone say salmonella? The whole concept of cruises makes me feel ill - who in their right minds would want to be held captive on a floating building, with the SAME people day in day out, circulating who knows what kind of germs and diseases.... both viral and of the sexually transmitted variety.... eating food that's been in storage for unknown lengths of time... swimming in pools frequented by any number of aged, incontinent and simply disgusting individuals... and all for the measly price of $250,000... what the fuck is wrong with people?!?!?!?

As mentioned, I went on the Fairstar with my family. It was here that I had my first contact with a condom.

I was 11.

(No, it's not what you think. My sister and I were splashing around in a pool and some hoons thought it would be funny to blow up some condoms and throw them into the pool for us to play with).

I'm also scared of big boats and the open ocean so you won't catch me on a cruise anytime soon.

Eww.

My, my. Aren't we the cynincs?

Me thinks the traffic chaos etc has more to do with our backward state government that anything else.

They locked a whole bunch of people in the Botanical Gardens FFS.

BTW, I may get exctited about big boats, but not so much about big bikes aka Paris Hilton.

Infrastructure was 50% to blame.

Sydneysiders who are too easily impressed were 50% to blame.

I guess the ultimate combination of a big boat AND fireworks was too hard to resist for many people.

Well I was down the Rocks last night as it was my Brother's last night. I took him to see the fireworks and told him I had put them on for his last night.
The ship's were pretty impressive, and loud, my ears are still ringing.

Going to the badge draw is detrimental to my mental health (although so is not going...)

Town Bike said...

I'm not going. I hate the badge draw because I never win.

I hate the badge draw because it allows a tiny spark of hope to grow in my heart, only to be cruelly snuffed out by that stupid idiot with the microphone.

Miss Contradiction said...

I am going for precisely one hour and then heading off home.

I have to get up at 5.30 to go to the gym with Town Bike.

This will more than likely kill me.

I'm not going to badge draw - going to trivia in the city.
I normally win bar vouchers there which is more than I can say for the C-Lounge!
Plus i get free drinks too. More incentive not to go to badge draw!

Town Bike said...

Yes I am dragging Miss Contradiction to my RPM/Spin class tomorrow morning, it will be interesting to see if she comes out alive.

Whoever is on the microphone at the badge draw becomes instantly annoying. What is it with that microphone?!?!

Town Bike said...

Hee. I train at FF Mosman.

You should see my guns.

Anonymous said...

You have prob seen me train townbike im the guy that bench presses a shitload than anyone else lol

Town Bike said...

I can chest press more than most chicks.

My trainer always remarks that I seem to have a lot of chest strength.

Thank God my stupid boobs are finally coming in handy for something. Previously all they've done for me is ruin my dreams of becoming a champion swimmer.

I only go to FF in the mornings though. Early
