AUSTRALIANS ALL LET US RING JOYCE - Free Aussie Movie night - Kenny - and a cuppa afterwards. July 19 2008

Australians all let us ring Joyce, for we are about to go and see KENNY the Movie. FREE! Seriously. That meant AustraUSA was busier than a one armed bricklayer in Baghdad taking down rsvp's to add to the guest-list. The Aussies sure came out of the woodwork to get a good dose of aussie humour.

Quotes like "Better stock up the poo tickets boys, this one's gonna get a flogging today"
"It's as silly as a bum full of smarties" and "There's a smell in here that will outlast religion" brought the house down, while some of us played 'Pick the Aussie" in the theatre, as it seemed only 'one of us' would or could find humour in some (or most) of the movie.

Perhaps it just seemed funnier on foriegn soil. Expressions and accents that we weren't used to hearing, brought a slight tear to the eye, disguised behind that roaring laughter. Or were our eyes just sweating?

With faces lit up like Luna Park with cheeky grins, a group of us headed to a local coffee shop for a cuppa afterwards.

A great night - Thanks to Xenon and KENNY, our sponsors.
