A mid-January reminder to go grill some lamb? Is this something y’all do every year?
Also, apparently a Neko Atsume movie is a thing.

The first appropriate perspective from anything that is approved to be aired here without being overtly negative to any one party.
Every month at my house.

[/quote]While I heartily approve of monthly lamb grills, I’m more curious about the commercial. Is it the lamb industry going, “Australia Day’s coming up, don’t forget to eat some sheep!”?
Yep. That’s pretty much it. They always unleash a lamb ad around Australia Day and they tend to be high budget productions.
The current one seems to be trying to address the “change the date” debate. Australia Day commemorates the first landing of European settlers. The idea that this is pretty damn rude to our indigenous population, many of whom refer to it as Invasion Day, is starting to gain traction. Fremantle, a town in WA, have even changed its official celebrations to a different date this year. The prime minister was not amused.

All our meat producers fight it out for the local market share after signing contracts for the exports of the best quality meats. Chicken is cheap so lamb and beef fight it out on the basis of quality and phony nationalism.
Since we create so much meat in this country and we make it at the highest possible quality many Europeans, Asians and Americans want to have our meat in their mouths.
Here lamb is easily our best meat produce for the local market as the worldwide demand for high quality lamb is lower than the worldwide demand for high quality beef.
Lamb is not as popular worldwide because sheep are poorly reared in most other countries (excluding the EU) and as such the meat turns out chewy and dense as the sheep live all their lives under stress. As a result our lamb producers need us to buy high quality lamb produce and not the leftover beef or cheaper chicken and pork.

[/quote]Ahh. That makes a lot of sense.
There is definitely a lot of Australian and Tasmanian meat in Japanese supermarkets, but I can’t recall ever seeing it in the US; I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Yep. We’ve gone from the siightly odd Sam Kekovich(Ex-footballer, sports commentator and deadpan comedian):

His reviews are quite entertaining and his video editing is quite on point.
I’m surprised that a number of Hindi words have been added to the London slang since I last lived there. Well thinking about it now that’s a decade of change so it was bound to bounce around a bit.
A pretty significant portion of my city is closed off today, due to Pacific Rim 2 is filming in my city this weekend and next weekend. I wonder what city we’re standing in for this time?
The real name for it has totally slipped my mind but the London slang has sort of entered its own language now, like an evolution of cockney. Its a fascinating cultural mix of Jamaican, Hindi, English and, for want of a better word, rap slang to create its on vernacular…that is totally incomprehensible to the rest of England. Then again that is the case for most places in England.
I was able to get the meaning of peng and piff. I’m not able to figure out what he means by spless? Kind of sounds like bless…
Somehow the other day I YouTube’d something that led me to a bunch of those unreal engine Zeldas and some of it looks really good. Some of it looks still not good.
