As for GSTQ, AAF and indigenous recognition I'm reminded of the misquoted Bogie comment in the famed movie Casablanca, ie "(don't) play it again Sam".  Or more to the point, and without disrespect, give us a break from forced cap in hand national, cultural and historic obeisance.  

Because we should be young and free.  Big smile

Looks as if PT has put his "cue in the rack" debating PC. His interchange  backups have also moved on to other threads.

 there were some very un-PC jokes being delivered by a Lebanese gurney-wheeler at the hospital, yesterday. Most were about Muslims and Iraq. A few were about the Canterbury Bulldogs, because two of the doctors treating me were Bulldog supporters. 

 PC is all a media beat-up.

 The average person is very sacrilegious.

 yep. A great songwriter. Love a lot of his songs...The Nearness of You, In The Cool Cool Cool of the Evening, Georgia on My Mind and, of course, the immortal Stardust. My favourite is I Get Along Without You Very Well...sung by Matt Monro. 


 He was also great as Homer's uncle in The Best Years of Our Lives. 

 a very talented man...Star

 OMG...Nat King Cole has the best Stardust...even Pat Boone sings it better than Willie...

 But I love Willie with Julio...To All The Girls I've Loved Before...

 Willie is a great songwriter, too...

I guess "my boomerang won't come back" isn't a viable alternative to GSTQ and AAF these days?

Hoagie, Willy, Dolly, Nat etc fans!
Reminds me of when I had my whole CD/ vinyl collection stolen out of my mini 20 years ago. Broke me heart. I tracked most of them to a local pawn shop and the local cop across the road (in kahoots with the pawn shop owner) asked me to identify them by scratch marks (!) on the covers etc while the pawn shop owner gloated. I got about 6 back because I could remember the scratch marks etc. Some very hard to find bootleg vinyls at the time too. I'll never forget the cop reading through my list and saying "Where's the Cold Chisel and Midnight Oil?" F*ckwit.

 that was a response to My Boomerang Won't Come Back...

 Most overseas people think our national anthem is Waltzing Matilda, so why not throw the boomerang into the ring...

Confused

 this made me laugh...

 I still have all my vinyl records, and when one hits a scratch and jumps, I'm so used to it happening, I sing the jump...

As an indigenous land owner, I take no offence. I can't speak for my "mob" though.

This memory lane thread is looking more like a "thank God for the yanks" or we roos wouldn't have cr@p to reminiscence about.  Can't imagine PT and the possee wanting to join in on that unless someone alleged that Trump had slept with Willie, Dolly, Louie, Hoagie, Etta, Benny, Tommy, and Judy at some point during their sucessful careers.
