Flashback…
Words Australians use: overseas, bond, unit, heaps, far out.
They obviously never say “abroad” because all of the “abroad” they know is overseas. A unit is what they call an appartment. A bond is a deposit and far out means all sorts of things, it depends on the intonation.
Interesting architecture in Brisbane:
St Brigid’s Church in Red Hill
Paddington’s neighbourhood with its queenslander style houses
And Toowong cemetery

This year, I’m downsizing.

By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing… Kill yourself.
No, no, no it’s just a little thought. I’m just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they’ll take root – I don’t know. You try, you do what you can. Kill yourself.
Seriously though, if you are, do.
Aaah, no really, there’s no rationalization for what you do and you are Satan’s little helpers.
Okay – kill yourself – seriously.
You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously.
No this is not a joke, you’re going, “there’s going to be a joke coming” there’s no fucking joke coming.
You are Satan’s spawn filling the world with bile and garbage.
You are fucked and you are fucking us.
Kill yourself.
It’s the only way to save your fucking soul, kill yourself.
Planting seeds.
I know all the marketing people are going, “he’s doing a joke…” there’s no joke here whatsoever.
Suck a tail-pipe, fucking hang yourself, borrow a gun from a Yank friend – I don’t care how you do it.
Rid the world of your evil fucking machinations. Machi… Whatever, you know what I mean.
I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, “Oh, you know what Bill’s doing, he’s going for that anti-marketing dollar. That’s a good market, he’s very smart.”
Oh man, I am not doing that. You fucking evil scumbags!
“Ooh, you know what Bill’s doing now, he’s going for the righteous indignation dollar. That’s a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We’ve done research – huge market. He’s doing a good thing.”
Goddammit, I’m not doing that, you scum-bags!
Quit putting a goddamn dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet!
“Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market, Bill’s very bright to do that.”
God, I’m just caught in a fucking web.
“Ooh the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market – look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar…”
How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don’t you?
