Randomness :)

So i'm back again (aren't I good??) and I promise to regularly blog again... really...

Anyways, i've finally finished exams and my senior year is officially 1/2 over!!! Which is sad and happy, but extremely exciting.

In other news, i've begun formal dress shopping, so fingers crossed i'll have one by the weekend and post you guys a pic :)

Back to the blogging thing

So, I was playing around on youtube (as you do) and started getting all nostalgic about some ads that used to be on down here... These ads have become legendary down under, with their phrases quoted daily.

During the time of Emperor Nasi Goreng... Too many rabbits in China. This ad is from the then government owned telephone company in Australia.One of the most quoted ads in Australia...

Charter boat, what charter boat? Only shown in Queensland, one of a series of ads from RACQ, our state's main insurance company. And sorry about the quality, it's the only version on youtube.

Not happy, Jan! Useful when annoyed at anyone or anything (and used far too much as newspaper headlines), it's an ad for the Australian version of the yellow pages.

And only 2% fat. Not the part of the ad we were actually supposed to remember, but the line that's stuck anyway. Pauls is the main milk company over here.

  1. As a NSWelshwoman I haven't seen the RACQ ad before, but absolutely love the other three:D...

    I also love the thai ad for the yellow pages :)
