I have nothing against you Aussies, I even lurve your accents, but why did you foist Kristy Hinze on the world?? Sorry, I can't stand her! I just can't.

Do Aussie's get into Guy Fawkes Night in a big way? (Or Canadians, for that matter...) We used to in NZ when I was a kid, it was right up there with Xmas. Big bonfire, "penny for the Guy", tossing him on the bonfire, fireworks, firecracker fights with the neighbor kids. Good times. It amazes me I survived. Unfortunately firecrackers are illegal in my state, NSW. You can buy them in the ACT though (along with as much porn as you like, go figure) and then bring it back across the border and blow things up but you'd have to be fairly surreptitious about it. I think they were outlawed when I was about eight - but I have fabulous memories of Guy Fawkes up until then. Just because someone didn't figure out that putting a firecracker down your pants isn't a great idea shouldn't mean that the fun gets ruined for the rest of us!

Nope it was older than when you were eight Yossarian because I used to have cracker night first at my house with my best friend and then next door at her house and we were at least 12 or 13. It was so cool. I miss throw downs. You threw them on the ground and they make great cablamey noises. Stupid public safety. I always figured if you were dumb enough to put crackers in your pants you deserved blown up bits.

Throw downs were so much fun. I wonder if they still sell those in Canberra or just the big ka-boom type fireworks that fifteen-year-old boys like? In other Australian news, ha ha!

^^ I read that, it's hilarious. I'm not sure it's the Australian way though to fire someone for getting drunk and showing their willy. Or whatever Axle Whitehead's got that passes for junk. He'll never be heard from again though, especially since he's now going to concentrate on his 'music'.
I'm from the Northern Territory, in regards to fireworks, anything goes. It's like the Wild West up there.
niddlemiddle, we foisted Kristy Hinze on the world because we didn't want her here.

Radar commentary on Axle: radar.smh.com.au/archives/2006/11/axle_whitehead.htmlI quite liked him - good eye candy, not too smug. What mind altering substances could he have been on to blow the sweetest gig evah? I only remember Kristy Hinze as a swimsuit model. What has she done to earn your collective ire? Just curious - I haven't heard anything about her in ages.

MsHairyLegs, for my part Kristy Hinze hasn't really done anything to earn my wrath, she's just another bland skinny blonde famous for being nothing except genetically lucky (plus the name).
I've been thinking about this Axle Whitehead thing, and I find it a little hard to believe that he got fired for getting drunk at a music award show and behaving badly. I thought that was the whole point of rock and roll.
As an aside, whenever I hear the name Axle I think of Beverly Hills Cop (1 or 2, I can't remember), where Eddie Murphy's character, also named Axle, is trying to teach the gay/European gallery assistant to say Axle. The gallery assistant doesn't quite get it, and keeps saying "Achmel"..."Aaaxmel". It's funny to me anyway.
