I was replying to WhiteRose who came up with some hare-brained assertion that Australia would be afforded something called "oath of protection" from the UK and other Commonwealth countries if threatened. I merely pointed out that in WW2 the US at least turned up (even if it was just to hide in Melbourne, as you erroneously claim). The UK certainly didn't. So lucky we had you covering our arse hey? We'd be eating with chopsticks otherwise.
I had a toy koala when I was little that played Waltzing Matilda when you pressed her foot. I loved her so much, I cried so hard when her batteries ran out :(
@TheWhiterose1603 No the Queen doesn't own the land in Australia. She is just a figurehead and nothing more. The Australian people own the land and it is administered (badly) by the Australian Government.
@TheWhiterose1603 Australia didn't go bankrupted because Kevin Rudd actually pulled a pretty good money spending scheme(Surprisingly) The queen does fuck all but shake peoples hands. She doesnt even have the power to take control anymore. Long gone the time is when monarchies had power, democracy is everything these days. And maybe communism.
@TheWhiterose1603 It was the US and not Great Britain who came to our aid in WW2 when we were under threat from Japan. Having said that, and in all fairness, GB had their hands full in saving their own arse at the time.
@gratedcheese100 Please read some history books. The only thing the us did was hide in Melbourne while we were fighting tooth and nail to defend Aus. I'm not sure who's brainwashed you with that info but they couldn't be further from the truth.
@jeff62rey Really just a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and Australia isn't broken by any means. The Queen is greatly loved and respected by Australians. It might be different if Charles ever becomes King. Even he is not a bad bloke.
@jeff62rey Because they have never done anything bad to us...We are still very British, and majority of people that live her have a great grandfather or great great grandmother etc.. That was from Britain...People have debated that we should, and also that we should change our flag and take away the union jack, but the fact is its our flag and always will be, soldiers have been burred with that flag, its OUR flag....if that makes any sense haha
@MrFroz9 Don't change your flag. Look what happened to Canada when our idiot Prime Minister Pearson whimsically adopted a bloody leaf. It's a disgrace. It's a terrible thing to look upon one's country's flag with disgust. The Australian flag is beautiful.
hope every single Aussie watched that Irish display this morning. We literally walked all over you in every single department. Quite a display from a team that "didn't have a prayer" according to the Australian media.
you're just like many other Irish rugby fans. Bitter in victory and bitter in defeat. And I should know being a Scot having to view your "god given right" attitude in the 6 nations every year. Sometimes I actually believe that you only play rugby to beat the English. Because unlike the Aussies or even the English (and that's hard to admit) you don't have ambitions as high as them. Australia will probably get further in this world cup than Ireland still and good luck to them.
@paraelblog12 I think the Irish could reach the final, Wales then England, I could see that. I think they would lose to New Zealand in the final. I am an American so what do I know!!!
@TrustonB most Australian media never said Ireland were shit or anything. It's pretty well established that Ireland was our biggest threat in the group without disrispecting them but we were the favourites and u won. Btw which paper said didn't have a prayer? Out of interest

@TroystonB They have to pay their own fare? Even being so minted up it's a long way to go for no reward whatsoever. They won't be taking any silverware home. Seriously though, I hope they do really well, because I have a soft spot for the Irish and Ireland.
@gratedcheese100 Just wanted to fill you in on how Ireland are doing. Good news we got the plane tickets!
Then we went down and smashed the shit out of you guys for 80 minutes. I thought the Aussies liked the breakdown? We might not win this thing but you guys won't either and you've got Ireland to thank for that. You got shown up and found out that without Pocock you're literally no better than average
@TroystonB Gee who's laughing now? Yesterday you got beaten by a country with half your population.Wales smashed the shit out of you for 80 minutes. Australia have just beaten the last world cup winners. To paraphrase you," we may not win this" but we certainly finished in front of your guys. He who laughs last and all that. And your country is still down to the bones of it's bum financially. Don't bother to reply. If I want to hear from an arsehole I'll just fart.
@gratedcheese100 It's show how you much you know about northern hemisphere rugby. Union is the number one game in Wales, it's fourth in Ireland. Ya they beat us but at least we can hold our heads up and not say we relied on a ref to knock South Africa out.. If you didn't have Pocock you'd have los by 20 pointst and any Aussie will admit that or they're delusional. You've got one great player in a crap team.
Oh, but we did have Pocock didn't we? You cant just disregard players if they play well. The ref was poor for both sides, and neither side benefited from his decisions
@yourdeaths Did you enjoy that yesterday? Not even Pocock could save you this time. How many of your players were born outside Australia again? Quade-Cooper really looked the so-called genius Australia claimed he was.
dont put some gay ball game with thiss grate song football is so stupid lol who like to watch guys play with balls Australia is the best but not football
@ozzyguy67 I have at least one mate, Matilda. I shagged her remember?
And my English is immaculate, why would I bother to study further? You're the one who thinks that one mate should be referred to as "mates". Furthermore, you think that the singular of woman is "women" and that the second person singular of the vowel to think is "thinks".
@ozzyguy67 What if we only have one mate? "We" refers to the collective who sings the song, as it is sang in a group, then "our mate" is one person who shagged Matilda, yet is not part of the collective singing the song.
I think the only thing Matilda had in common with a blanket is she kept me warm at night, if you know what I mean. ;)
most itunes versions of this are cheesy little kids songs. I believe this version has a true power behind it. Especially with the authentic Australian voice and the folk feel sung in a slow yet powerful tone. The best part is at the end where the crowd passionately joins in. I believe it symbolizes that all Aussies can join together to be part of something greater than themselves.
As an American who studied abroad there I want to say I have the deepest respect for Australia and its people.
Been living in the States for the last 17 years. I'm 19. Grew up here, but almost every day I listen to this song to remind myself where my roots are.
My primary school made us sing this every friday assembly, :) noone understood it but now all of my friends remember it and i will fight until this song is played at our year 10 farewell!.......If you're not australian in nsw you will have no idea why year 10 and primamry school is a long time.......OHWELL WALTZING MATILDA!
Is there some version here on YouTube that isn't all grease-slicked and unctuous like this? I forgot my hanky. Or I left it in my tuckerbag under the jumblatt.

@PandaPawSmile lol nice but maybe if u force it opon him every day me migth get sick of it. And that is not a god thing becase it is sutch a good song ;-)
MY GRAND MOTHER WAS FROM AUSTRAILI. SHE LIKED TO DANCE AND WATCH FOOTBALL--SO I TAKE AFTER HER(my mom said) SHE GAVE ME A FOOTBALL WHEN I WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD AND I NEVER LOOKED BACK. I PLAYED FOOTBALL IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE IN THE GOOD OLD USA!!! AND OF COURSE I LOVE TO DANCE. MY GRAND MOTHERS NAME WAS MATILDA!!!!! SHE DIED IN 1951 IN SAN JOSE CALIFORNIA> SHE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!!!
fukin real tough men u pommies are coming on here and bagging our song and country. how fukin pathetic. go to an aussie bar in england and repeat wat u guys are saying and see if u walk out. but u soft cocks would never do that would ya's? i get it though, this is ur way of being tough after being bullied at work and told wat to do by the missus all day isnt it? haha, thought so. teenagers i can understand do shit like that but grown men?? sad.
@pjmaher78 it comes from you fucking australians who cannot stop insulting people from England. U think English people are gonna love you fuckin people for that? of course they're gonna hate ur fuckin idiot asses cus u hate them (for no apparent reason) so shut the fuck up. if u cant take it, dont dish u panzy ass whiner. new zealand is better than ur sand ridden shithole anyway. LONG LIVE ENGLAND! the father of Australia... an unruly little biggoted shithole.
@Salvus967,u r a massive wierdo. NZ r better than us? Ouch, are u actually a grown man or a kid who's got on his parents computer to rebel after being picked on all day at school? As i said on the first post, i dont know why some1 who hates our country would com on to an aussie page, watch an aussie song with a video full of australians then say how much they hate us. WIERDO, And i bet u have never spoke like that to an australian? we just bash ur type in australia. easy.
@pjmaher78 Drunk when i wrote this. But while I have met some aussies that were very large and mean looking & i probably wouldn't be calling them aussie faggots to thier face, i've met rather normal sized aussies that were no tougher than the next man, maybe they could beat me, maybe not. but that is no different than anywhere else. I'm pretty sure there is a fair number of aussies (males) i could prolly beat up, just as there would be a fair number which i couldn't.
@ozzyguy67 ok man i admit, what i said before was ignorant, cus i was drunk. and just because i might find maori history slightly more interesting than aboriginal, that doesn't make me uneducated, that is just my own preference, u cant change that. but anyway, australia looks like a beautiful country too and i would like to visit it aswell. sorry for offending you, i really have nothing against australia...again, this all began with a few drunk comments from me.
@pjmaher78 *i meant i was drunk when i wrote THAT, as in the previous remark, not THIS. But i still think Aussies spend alot of time bad mouthing the English, who are not sitting around insulting Aussies, so I think it is a bit unfair that Australians can do that but somehow paint themselves as being innocent. tell me exactly what England did to Australia please..dont say Gallipolli because that was just a bad battle and nothing personal against Australians.
@pjmaher78 and yes, i would much rather go to new zealand than australia. for one, it looks more beautiful, and two, i like history and the maoris had a more fascinating history than the aboriginals. and i find new zealanders to be nicer people, with a less cocky attitude.
@Salvus967, we have 100s of reason. i think u need to read up how 1000s of australians got lead to their deaths because the english sent us to the wrong beach at gallipoli. another reason is 30% of aussies are from irish catholic descent and we all know how the english have treated them (and continue to). on a lighter note its prob a case of big brother, little brother syndrome as well. aborigine history is unbelievable mate check it out. but Maori is to. and agree NZ ppl r my fav as well mate.
@pjmaher78 The truth is I would like to go and visit both countries, i havn't read all that much on aboriginals but i do agree that they also have a very interesting history. and australia does look beautiful. so no hard feelings.. australia looks pretty awesome too. and if i went, i would NOT be spewing hateful words, cus i dont REALLY think that way AND i wouldn't wanna get beat up! lol
@pjmaher78 I don't disagree that the British have treated Australia like crap in the past, but if you think Gallipoli was an example, you're very wrong - thousands of British soldiers lost their lives in that campaign in addition to the ANZACs, due to inept leadership. That wasn't an example of the British crapping on Australians and New Zealanders, that was an example of the British government/Allied Command shitting on all its own people (of the time).
@PhallicHeadSpike LOL go shag that so beloved urn u guys desperately needed, after all it's rare u guys win anything eg Soccer and Rugby League!~ Oh snap!
Seeing that "Matilda" was the nickname given to a sort of backpack you were really literally having it off with an old bag. Some of us find the concept somewhat disturbing. But then this is probably as good as it's going to get for some of you guys.
I would love to visit Australia, but I an insane fear of spiders, and people have told me not to go to Australia because of that. I still hope to visit some day.

@ozzyguy67 Of course it makes sense. We shagged her, and so did our mate.

@Bashilful No it would be "our mates". You still thinks it a women? So all women over there look like dusty old blankets?
ozzyguy67 9 months ago
@ozzyguy67 What if we only have one mate? "We" refers to the collective who sings the song, as it is sang in a group, then "our mate" is one person who shagged Matilda, yet is not part of the collective singing the song.
I think the only thing Matilda had in common with a blanket is she kept me warm at night, if you know what I mean. ;)

most itunes versions of this are cheesy little kids songs. I believe this version has a true power behind it. Especially with the authentic Australian voice and the folk feel sung in a slow yet powerful tone. The best part is at the end where the crowd passionately joins in. I believe it symbolizes that all Aussies can join together to be part of something greater than themselves.
As an American who studied abroad there I want to say I have the deepest respect for Australia and its people.

The band plays waltzing matilda, and the old men still answer the call.
But as year follows year, more old men disappear, soon no-one will march there at all.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matila, who'll come a waltzing matilda with me?
And their ghosts may be heard as they march by that billabong. Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me?

@pjmaher78 it comes from you fucking australians who cannot stop insulting people from England. U think English people are gonna love you fuckin people for that? of course they're gonna hate ur fuckin idiot asses cus u hate them (for no apparent reason) so shut the fuck up. if u cant take it, dont dish u panzy ass whiner. new zealand is better than ur sand ridden shithole anyway. LONG LIVE ENGLAND! the father of Australia... an unruly little biggoted shithole.

@Salvus967,u r a massive wierdo. NZ r better than us? Ouch, are u actually a grown man or a kid who's got on his parents computer to rebel after being picked on all day at school? As i said on the first post, i dont know why some1 who hates our country would com on to an aussie page, watch an aussie song with a video full of australians then say how much they hate us. WIERDO, And i bet u have never spoke like that to an australian? we just bash ur type in australia. easy.
pjmaher78 11 months ago
@pjmaher78 Drunk when i wrote this. But while I have met some aussies that were very large and mean looking & i probably wouldn't be calling them aussie faggots to thier face, i've met rather normal sized aussies that were no tougher than the next man, maybe they could beat me, maybe not. but that is no different than anywhere else. I'm pretty sure there is a fair number of aussies (males) i could prolly beat up, just as there would be a fair number which i couldn't.
Salvus967 11 months ago
@Salvus967
1. Australia is far more beautiful then nz or any other country.
2. It's a fact that Australians are bigger then poms.
3. Our aboriginals have a history of 40-60 thousand years far older then the maori.
I've got some pom mates and you just make then look like a bunch of uneducated fucktards.
ozzyguy67 11 months ago
@ozzyguy67 ok man i admit, what i said before was ignorant, cus i was drunk. and just because i might find maori history slightly more interesting than aboriginal, that doesn't make me uneducated, that is just my own preference, u cant change that. but anyway, australia looks like a beautiful country too and i would like to visit it aswell. sorry for offending you, i really have nothing against australia...again, this all began with a few drunk comments from me.
Salvus967 11 months ago
@pjmaher78 *i meant i was drunk when i wrote THAT, as in the previous remark, not THIS. But i still think Aussies spend alot of time bad mouthing the English, who are not sitting around insulting Aussies, so I think it is a bit unfair that Australians can do that but somehow paint themselves as being innocent. tell me exactly what England did to Australia please..dont say Gallipolli because that was just a bad battle and nothing personal against Australians.

UnsounderGnome 10 months ago
@pjmaher78 and yes, i would much rather go to new zealand than australia. for one, it looks more beautiful, and two, i like history and the maoris had a more fascinating history than the aboriginals. and i find new zealanders to be nicer people, with a less cocky attitude.
Salvus967 11 months ago
@Salvus967, we have 100s of reason. i think u need to read up how 1000s of australians got lead to their deaths because the english sent us to the wrong beach at gallipoli. another reason is 30% of aussies are from irish catholic descent and we all know how the english have treated them (and continue to). on a lighter note its prob a case of big brother, little brother syndrome as well. aborigine history is unbelievable mate check it out. but Maori is to. and agree NZ ppl r my fav as well mate.
pjmaher78 11 months ago
@pjmaher78 The truth is I would like to go and visit both countries, i havn't read all that much on aboriginals but i do agree that they also have a very interesting history. and australia does look beautiful. so no hard feelings.. australia looks pretty awesome too. and if i went, i would NOT be spewing hateful words, cus i dont REALLY think that way AND i wouldn't wanna get beat up! lol
Salvus967 11 months ago
@pjmaher78 I don't disagree that the British have treated Australia like crap in the past, but if you think Gallipoli was an example, you're very wrong - thousands of British soldiers lost their lives in that campaign in addition to the ANZACs, due to inept leadership. That wasn't an example of the British crapping on Australians and New Zealanders, that was an example of the British government/Allied Command shitting on all its own people (of the time).

Seeing that "Matilda" was the nickname given to a sort of backpack you were really literally having it off with an old bag. Some of us find the concept somewhat disturbing. But then this is probably as good as it's going to get for some of you guys.
