Dialogue
So i was hanging out with some peoples yesterday, which included an Aussie chick, who, after an hour or so, i couldn't resist telling, bore a striking resemblence to my sister. "is that because i'm indian" was the indignant response. only sarcasm would do at this point, from me "yeah, i guess, because i dont really meet many indian people, so you all look the same". her comeback: "well, i dunno, I hang out with a lot of ignorant people". touche. "well, thanks for putting me to the top of the pile..."
Is standard of living definable and quantifiable? Aussies will argue that Australia has a higher standard of living than the UK (it is true, the whining at Heathrow is not that of the engines, but that of the Working Holiday Makers = barworking antipodes). Having travelled to Oz, I know this is complete tosh, and Europe slaps all over OZ and NZ. But why? I dont want a BigMac standard, or WHO definition. Why is Europe the place for salubrity?
Just called Denise in Namibia. Her: "Marry me". Me (thinking of the immigration laws):"Err, i'm not sure that would be of use to you". Her: "Come on, i'll cook for you every day". Me: "But... you can't cook!" Her: "All right, every second day".
