Actually, I have to make an exception for a great lad who was in a hostel in Mexico I stayed in. Couldn't have been friendlier and a great conversationalist. A huge Pogues fan. Had dodged time in the IDF too, now I recall. |

Was an Israeli living down my way at home too with his Irish girlfriend(kind of Irish, she was from Wicklow), he shared my opinion of the Israeli state and used to give me the odd lift to college, his love of Jamaican culture and my discomfort in cars made me source alternative transportation, interesting fella though. Have met quite a few who dodged their service.

Stayed in a hostel in Limerick in my younger days and it had a few pikey birds staying there, not bad looking but thick as shoite in a sauce bottle, very obliging girls but it took 2 weeks of scrubbing me dickie rock to get rid of the smell of them

Like something an Aussie said to me once after I hit a daisycutter that rolled all the way to the green: "it's like being with an Abbo, you're up there but you're not happy".

- heard much worse in Oz itself. I went into work the Monday after a crazy rooftop Saturday party. I said to a colleague I didnt know how no-one fell that night. He told me someone did, when I looked shocked he said " don't worry, it was only an Abbo" and laughed like the galah that he was. (And it was true, the poor girl ended up paralysed). On a sales road trip in deep country NSW, I noticed a group of houses all boarded up. I was told that they were houses given to the Aborigines who smash the windows in the summer when too hot and burn the floorboards and stairs when too cold in the winter before asking for another. I was warned that some might jump in front of the car looking for compo and that's why they all have 'Abbo bars' on their utes. There's no talking to them...I thought the main pub in the town was great at the time though, normal bar with topless lounge girls. |

Worked on building sites in Sydney for most of a year many moons ago, the foreman was an interesting character, born in England, his (English) oul lad was an Oxford professor of something or other, highly intelligent & a very dark sense of humour. Interesting character who had done a bit of travelling, even making a living doing commercial fishing in Iceland for a few years, but also the worlds laziest man as regard work. Only giving a bit of background because the following comment could (and probably will be) taken the wrong way, and it was said with humour that would be typical of the fella, but not to everyone's taste. It's still one of the most 'Australian' things I've ever heard........ Morning smoke break- usually spent by meself & foreman taking the piss out of various Aussie fellow workers, even though a lot of the sarcasm was lost on them. This particular morning, for whatever reason, there was only the 2 of us sitting in a corner and yer man says to me; 'Got a letter last night from me son from me first marraige' (he was on his 3rd marraige at the time) Me' Right. Whats the craic there then ? ' Him ' He says he wants to meet me, he's 18 now' Me ' Are ya going to meet him so ? ' Him ' If I wanted to fcukin meet him, I never would have abandoned him in the first place' If anyone has met an Israeli blunter than that......................... |

That one made me laugh I don't think I will ever be setting foot in Australia myself though, I'm not the best around racism.

Never came across that much of it there to be honest, certainly much more over here. I find most people racist though, which is why I avoid most of them!
