#4 He said the flimsy walls and cardboard beds made it easy for them to be broken.

The disappearance of the emu and the kangaroo had been a mystery until they were tracked down in Team Germany’s section of the village.

“We were just about to get the ‘Wanted’ signs around the village and post a reward for their return,” Chesterman said. “I’m pleased to report they are back in place and home. I think they went missing around the 28th, turned up again last night and understand they enjoyed a pleasant holiday in Deutschland.”

This might be the greatest Oz comment ever

#5 You guys live in a vacuum if you don't know Olympic athletes blow off steam after their competition. It's happened for decades. Let the live, especially after this c-19 shit.

#6 Japanese beds and walls are notoriously weak. But they're cheap too, so no real foul there. And the vomit must be from all the stupid sashimi thrust at them.

#8 Back in the day I worked a bar in SF that was popular with the visiting Aussie rugby teams. I watched as furniture and waitresses were carried off. They also had some pretty good drinking songs, one in particular sung to the tune of The Candy Man.

#11 You had to know what you were getting into when you invited a rugby team.

#12 Indeed, Mercutio. It's like that guy from The Princess Bride said, never go up against an Australian rugby team when a drunken rampage is on the line.

#14 What do you expect from the descendants from the former penal colony of Australia, tea and crumpets after 4:00 PM... Its in their Blood & DNA, just ask their team captain Fosters Lager.
