This Australia Day get some lamb chops on the barbie.

Anything else is unAustralian.

Alrighty... now I'm confused...

Who's Sam?
I thought it was "throw another shrimp on the barbie"?
I thought lamb was a kiwi thing?

I thought we weren't supposed to celebrate Australia Day?

"Shrimp on the barbie" was for the Seppos.

Kiwis don't put lamb on the barbie.

Aussie Day is a holiday. Of course we celebrate.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... that makes so much more sense ;)

Yes we bloody well do put lamb on the barbie!

There's no such thing as shrimp in Australia.

They're called prawns. :P

It's funny, I love those ads, especially for the controversy they create (vegans wanted it banned last year)... but the only thing that bugs me is that if you watch his eyes, he's obviously reading. :P

Bothers me when Holly does the same thing on Red Dwarf. ^ ^

If he'd been a little bit more animated (head movements, expressions, etc.) like the TV nuze "talking heads" on the anchor desks, you wouldn't have seen his eyes tracking the scrolling TelePrompTor text.

Still fairly-well done, though.

(However, most of us Yanks don't have a CLUE who the ranting guy is...)

I actually thought I (Irish guy, living in the US) might be "celebrating Australia Day" at a winery (http://www.loxtonwines.com/) (as I am a member of his wine club) in Sonoma County, California, owned by a fine Aussie wine maker, Chris Loxton. Chris makes bloody fantastic wines.

Alas, it falls on the same day (heck, at the same time--6pm) as my company "holiday party"! Blah. Also, the company party is free, at a space science museum (http://www.chabotspace.org/) with telescope access, whereas the Australia Day thing is $65 (US) per person.

So I guess I won't really be celebrating Australia Day... though one of my colleagues is an Aussie, so perhaps we'll raise a toast to Australia while we're there or something. :) Ooh, actually, it would be kind of fun to go up to everybody at the party and wish them "Happy Australia Day". Do-de-do. Heehee.

"Ya know it makes sense" except I missed about a quarter of what he said due to those "down under" expressions going over my head. Lamb/mutton is fairly rare in Canada (and I am not talking how it is cooked) so I have to say I've never had it barbeequed. During the coldest time of the year in the "great white north", not many people cook out doors but as a kid, my Dad would take us out camping at least a couple times a month no matter how nasty the weather. I remember making campfire stew (put veggies, meat and ice cubes in two layers of foil and toss on the coals then pour into a bowl when done) during a 35 below zero degree celcius snow storm then having to walk 10 blocks home from the local park because the car got burried in snow and hopelessly stuck. For old-times sake, I might give "lamb on the barbee" a try on this warmest winter on record here.
