what i heard

i heard this morning on the radio there will be a non-violent protest against racism in the bourke st mall at 5pm tomorrow

does anyone know if this is happening?

what are the chances of it getting ugly?

i had a dream last night that i was somewhere in a city and there were lots and lots of people. for some reason i had to keep out of sight. princess wasn't with me, i was on my own. two fierce dogs came running down the laneway behind me, passed me and went around the corner to the right. i follwed them because i thought they looked dangerous and was worried they might hurt someone. just around the corner there were two police officers. i was amazed they had done nothing about the dogs and when i asked them about the dogs, they were dismissive.

i really want to go to the protest but it might go bad.

what do people think?

i got a text and email this morning...it's def. happening.

sublime-ation said...

your dream is scary...I don't know if it'll get ugly, hopefully it'll be a peacful protest. I hate violent protests. Perhaps we should all go together?

dell said...

it 's in good spirits... & for a very good cause

Chai said...

I think it should be OK.. Melbourne people are not energetic enough. Worst case, you can hang out with my bikie friends and I (who will be there). Look for the sight impaired guy hanging with a motley bunch of fashionistas (you'll know what I mean when you see us). That'll be our group.

BEVIS said...

Go for it, MG!

BEVIS said...

(Just remember to press record to tape the Neighbours finale!)

sublime-ation said...

bikie fashionistas? I wanna hear their slogans.

Melba said...

i'll see what i can do. maybe we can jump on the train. i am very pressed for time around 5pm. i'll look out for chai with buddy holly specs (!) and cotton with a shiv. i just wish i knew what a shiv is.

but chai. are the fashionistas the bikies? isn't that an oxymoron? me no get.

oh and bevis. won't forget vcr. you are right. harold is going to go off. how about all those close-ups. it's so funny. sorry, am i allowed to say it's funny? but it won't be him that does paul.

princess and i are so excited. i think princess though izzy looked particularly fetching in her sexy santa costume. i however thought she looked cheap. as.

Chai said...

Generally, I like to keep my remarks a little abstract. Meet me halfway here.
[pause for effect]
OK... The key word there was not fashionistas, nor was it bikie. It was motley. *winks with good eye*

Melba said...

that was the other thing chai. i was going to ask about motley as well.

[wrings hands in anxiety]

Melba said...

are you a pirate then? best get elaine along.

Chai said...

I dont think you *really* get the bit about being abstract. There is no way any description of mine can beat your wild imagination, which I rather like. Pirate? I guess there are many forms of piracy but no, that would be illegal *looks over shoulder*.

Chai said...

motley.
I guess Jim Rose and gang could be described as motley.
And for subl's benefit, our slogan is "Nobody puts Baby in a corner". It was that or "Where Eagles Dare". We voted and the rest, history... Them crazy bikies.

BEVIS said...

Yes, Harold's nasty glares at the back of Paul Robinson's head have been bringing a smile to my face for a few days now, too.

So you don't think it'll be Harold who offs Paul? They could have been setting up a 'mislead' all this time; you're right. We'll have to see who it is, then. I hope they let us see, rather than make us wait for next year.

And I actually hope the attempt on Paul's life is unsuccessful. He's been a big part of the improvements I've noticed in the show this year. I love that he's back and hope he isn't killed off.

But there have been a lot of near-death experiences this year that never ended in tragedy (Alex being the only exception I can think of), so maybe it's time someone's luck ran out.

I hope not, though.

As for my thoughts on Izzy in her Santa girl costume: What's halfway between 'fetching' and 'cheap as'?

elaine said...

I'll be there, non-violenting in a strange looking work-type ensemble that I threw on this puning when I remembered that I hadn't done any washing.

Again.

BEVIS said...

I threw on no such garb this puning.

sublime-ation said...

I expect to hear those slogans today, Chai.

elaine said...

ack! That's what happens when you don't look at what you're typing.

Even my eyepatches are dirty.

Anonymous said...

No sir, I don't like it. Maybe I'm far too cynical for my own good but I can't help but feel that any peaceful protest is bound to be disrupted by some sort of yahoo, hooligan or ruffian. Definately take a shiv... maybe a tazer if you can get your hands on one.

Justine said...

as an Australian, I'll be there to show other Australians that they shouldn't treat other Australians badly.

Or maybe I'll just hang out in Coburg where I live and be nice to people like always. Yup I think i'll do the latter.

Melba said...

nobody puts baby in a corner

love it!!!

chai, my imagination is rather wild.

bevis, i reckon the bomber will be the one to do paul. he won't die, princess said she doesn't want him to die, he's nice, she said. she's only seen him getting izzy a kitten and with a big cheesy grin on his face recently. she hasn't seen him be a real baddy. the plane bomb has not been resolved at all, or not to my satisfaction. this will be it. not harold, though harold will do something untoward, or crazy.

i know what a tazer is, and mine is out of batteries that's why i am here typing this instead of being there, distracted from the purpose of protest and trying to spot a mad pirate type with eyepatch and bikies, while missing the real pirate, glamorous in her work clothes.

(elaine, this puning i just didn't want to get out of bed. must have been a hint - everything that could go wrong bureaucratically has, while all that could have gone wrong practically hasn't... a mixed day)

but i still don't know what a shiv is. and i am still very supportive of the no racism rally. am sending my vibes there, and hoping there is no trouble. i just couldn't make it. you couldn't have picked a worse day for me this year. and i'm not just saying that. will just have to do my own little bit my own way, like justine says. be nice to people. to everyone. it's not easy at times, but it's important.

14 minutes to go bevie.

am v v excited

BEVIS said...

So whaddya think now, eh?

Melba said...

how wrong could i have been. i don't know, i guess i was just expecting far too much, in terms of twists and subtlety.

am slightly disappointed with it all to tell you the truth. i thought there would be a more interesting ending...

what do you think?

BEVIS said...

Check out my blog for my thoughts. :)

Chai said...

The words "Neighbours" and "near-death" do seem to go well together, for me at least. Just a drive-by snipe. Just letting you know I'm safe. There was no need for me to wear my runners after all. I took photos too. Phillip(*) will be pleased.

Gianluca Di Milano said...

The racism is a problem for alls. In italia we have big problem with the football fanatics that are not like the black players. i am think about this subject for a long times, and was read many books in the matter, and after many thinking I am make a conclusion - this peoples are cunts.
For answer your question "who is an australian?" For me australian is that one which wears a fether in the hat, likes shoot the apple on the little boys heads for proof he is a hard, loves the mozart and others rubish musics, always go skiing and accepts no responsibilty for that contrys war crimes because all is fault of the germanics.

BEVIS said...

That's it, Gianluca - you got us in one.

Melba said...

ah those germanics.

BEVIS said...

You lost me at "Make no mistake".

Aleks - Anarcho-Syndicalist said...

There was a similar rally in Sydney. There were between 5,000 and 7,000 people who attended, which was great to see.

Have a safe and happy holiday period.

Riss said...

Merry Christmas to you and Princess, MelbourneGirl. Have a lovely holiday season.
