Smart people invent their own reasons to buy stuff and throw sales catalogues in the bin where they belong. Celebrate family, not consumer tat. Frankly, IDGAF.

    The sooner us grumpy old men realise that the continent of Australia is part of the global world the better.

    'Our' separate identity as a nation was always going to be a short-lived notion, because it is stuck in the age of empire. Something which Britain is embarrassingly attempting to reclaim! (mostly voted for by grumpy old people).

    We live in the world people. The younger generations are just moving with and creating the times.

    'Our' identity is by definition in a state of perpetual flux.

    I hate the term sale, many are just usually a con to get rid of slow moving stuff, Or it plays on peoples emotion thinking its genuine
    I remember a retailer who used to put up a sale flag on a pole every day out side his shop. I heard customers ask the retailer when did the sale finish as they didn't want to miss out but at the time didn't have funds.
    Did you know that in French the word "sale" means "dirty" in English? Trufax.

    I am one of these grumpy old men.

    Mario, you have my support on this one.
    Dave.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    That'll be events featuring the roughly five B's, booze, boats, briny, beaches, betting and brainless bravery.

    1. Henley-on-Todd Regatta

    2. Beer Can Regatta

    3, Bird Man Rally

    And a couple of others, maybe featuring camels, aka Boats of the outBack.
