Unofficial Australian Republic Comm Thread

OK...let's all just accept this loving, drunken rampage through the forums from Kit. I, personally, have enjoyed it greatly. Cheers to any other Aussies on the boards.

Oh, Kit - could you just write me a cheque for, say, $US10,000 and mail it to me? Thanks, mate...

1... 0... a comma or a period? Dunno Aussie numbah system... 0... um... where am I at? Now this is made out to Mrs. Wombat, right? Uh... why am... dollars or Kangaroo money? :notsure:

but where is the republican guard? jeez, kit, when you're on a roll, you're on a roll....

LOL

Bloody republicans. You lost the referendum, ffs - get over it already!

GOD BLESS THE QUEEN!



Hehe, that ought to get them posting here...

Calling ALL Australian Republicans....

The ANZACS need you... Please sign up and join the ANZACS.. ALL australian Republicans are welcome

No! These ANZACs are closet queen lovers! Stay seperate! Your unique identity will be absorbed into a nest of constitutional monarchists! Be warned....

/quack drags the body of the first president of australia around the forums

...


Hello? HEL-LOOO? Republicans? Where are you all?

...

yawn...

1. God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!

2. O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all!

3. Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign;
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!

4. Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world over.

5. From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!

6. Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the King!

Why don't you ALL start afresh?

Come on over and join me at the Republic.

Then you would REALLY have a Queen for President.

Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea:
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare,
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands,
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.


Just for you, Killa

And Rainbird - where ya been all this time?

I would guess in the tropical rainforests of the North. But I could be wrong.

Dear Killa. You are never wrong.

*Gasp* That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home

I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Comin' for to carry me home
A band of angels comin' after me
Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home

If you get to heaven before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I'm comin' there too
Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home

I'm sometimes up and sometimes down
Comin' for to carry me home
But still I know I'm heavenly (freedom) bound
Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home

If I get there before you do
Comin' for to carry me home
I'll cut a hole and pull you through
Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home



Just thought I'd post this for the upcoming Rugby World Cup

This looks interesting! . . . And whats more the Thread title doesn't have the word 'ASS' in it!
I'll have to keep an eye on this space!

I hate our oppresive Constitutional Monarchy as much as anyone (which is a lot considering I don't really have any clue about systems of governence anyway) . . .

[Message Edited]

once a jolly swagman
sat by a billabong
under the shade of a koolibah tree
and he sang as he sat
and waited till his billy boiled
you'll come a watzin' matilda with me

altogether now....

WALTZIN' MATILDA, WALTZIN' MATILDA
YOU'LL COME A WALTZIN' MATILDA WITH ME....

"OK, come quietly. Into the back of the divvy van. There's a good boy. Nice 'n easy. Drop the can, son. That's it..."

sigh, i know, but you can't have everything...

I actually like the system we've got - hell, a lot of countries don't even have preferential voting.

Not enough ASS in the thread? Well, if we go republican, we'll have to take the HM out of HMAS, and we'll have enough ass ships to make all of you happy - AS Kanimbla, AS Manoora...

(shudder)

I'm sorry, I can't let you do that. You must be punished. Play the song of the condemned:

You're goin' home in the back of a divvy-van
bam bam, bam-bam bam, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam bam

You're goin' home in the back of a divvy-van
bam bam, bam-bam bam, bam-bam-bam-bam, bam bam

LOL

Well, Singapore's Navy is the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). So yours would be RAN, Republic of Australia Navy.

~SDC~

Death to the Queen(the fundamentalist Foreigner)

A call to all "Real Australian's"

Come join the "Australian Republic"

Where you will never have to swear allegiance
to a "Foreigner"
And never sing the true national anthem below

Australians all let us rejoice
For we have come this far,
Go down to the pub at night
And throw up in thr car,
Our land abounds in toxic dumps
Of beauty died and gone,
Our land will face total disgrace

Advance Australia where.

Our wicked hat and sun burned backs
And beer cans every where
Our tits are blisted beyond repair,
But we don't really care
Our politcian lie but our girls aren't shy

Advance Australia why.

anyone want to play two up... come and join the ANZACS

LOL

Come in Spinner......

Well this is odd... :notsure: Is this the Official Australian Republic Comm Thread now? It's been stolen from me! :notsure: Pretty cool actually. But to be an empire's official comm thread y'all need some G.R.O.S.S. raiding... Hand over yer finest booze! Arrrgh!

That's the spirit, Kit!



That's a good one, but why would they want to trade a foreign Victorian queen in for a domestic hellion queen? Kind of defeats the point of a good revolution. But, it is quite another matter to be the strong-willed, go-her-own-way female president.

Hi Never Never.
Glad to see I woke you up. LOL

Love our new national Anthem.

RAN Republic of Australian Nany, sounds good.
All we need now is a flagship.

Oh hear this. Oh hear this. I now announce a nation wide compettition to name our flagship.

The winner gets to spend a day with the President.

well the australian naming tradition has to be upheld, republic or not. fortunately for all, it is thematic...

Anzac Star Ship = A.S.S
Australian Republic Starship = A.R.S.S

just me 2 bob's worth....
