Aussie bashing
-
Just got back from the Ashes Test at Edgbaston. There were some great posters promoting Marstons’ beer.
Any PI members fancy having a go at this with PS, Ireland has/England has, Kerry has/Dublin has, Leinster has/Munster has etc? Gentle banter, nothing abusive.
:lol: :lol:
Funny! In this day and age I suppose racism is allowed if beer is involved.

I don’t find them funny, especially the second one. Maybe just because most of the English people I know have this attitude.. and they are not joking.
I was going to buy a tee-shirt when I was down in Kerry but of course it was to expensive
but the slogan saidI SUPPORT IRELAND
ASWELL AS ANYBODY WHO IS PLAYING ENGLAND
The english want to be a bit carefull with this kind of atitude. They are not really well liked in europe.
Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven God went missing for seven days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him. He enquired of God “Where were you?”
God breathed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds. Look son, look what I’m after making”.
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said “What is it?”
God replied “It’s another planet, but I’m after putting Life on It. I’ve named it Earth and there’s going to be a balance between everything on it. For example, there’s North America and South America. North America is going to be rich and South America will be poor, and the narrow bit joining them will be a hot spot.
“Now look over here I’ve put a continent of whites in the North and another one of blacks in the South.”
Then the Archangel said “What’s that green dot there?”
“Ahhh, that’s the Emerald Isle,” God said, “that’s a very special place. That’s going to be the most glorious spot on Earth, beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and exquisite coastline. These people here are going to be great crack and they’re going to be found travelling the world. They’ll be playwrights and poets, singers, songwriters and photographers. And I’m going to give them this black liquid, which they’re going to go mad on, and for which people will come from the far corners of the Earth to drink.”
Michael the Archangel gasped in wonder and admiration, then seemingly startled, he said, “Hold on a second, what about BALANCE, you said there was going to be balance..?”
God replied wisely, “Wait until you see the ones I’m putting next door to them!!”
Ach wise up you lot. The English might not be everyone’s favourite
people, but they enjoy a bit of banter with the Aussies and no one
in the world can dish it as enthusiastically as they can.It’s only bullying
if you pick on someone who can’t fight back.Oh Pete, I knew I could rely on you to understand what the relationship is between England and Australia where cricket is concerned. This is not racist, they are Aussies and we really love them but they have given us so many kickings over the years that we need to sledge them and remind them of their pedigree.
Jeez, lighten up folks – John they’re great, within the spirit you intended them.
The only one I know is
“Dublin for the Sam Maguire – Kerry for your holidays!
