youve got to love the irish
Dad wanted to go sight seeing at stuff today in Perth, so we drove the hour up there and went to the Perth Bell Tower, which is a very modern building that has bells being chimed in it, the clue was in the title really and it was as interesting as it sounds? (sounds, bells, no pun intended)
However I gets to the top and a very nice lady let me play with her rather ample set of chiming bells with no extra cost involved, which I was rather pleased with.
We then went to Perth Mint to see gold bars being made by men in 70s TV space suits, but on the way seen a cool harley trike and some seriously fast cars outside a rather unusual named pub. I had a rather nice bucket of fish on the decking region of the lucky shag pub. It had two way glass in the toilets and you could see people walking past as you had a pee.
Bizarrely you weren?t allowed to wear baseball caps, but you can watch people while you pee ???? Go figure
Finally, we went to King someone or others park which overlooks the city and the river,
We bumped into an Irish guy this who was rather the worse for wears as the aussies have shared barbecue areas with gas burners provided in almost every park so you can just turn up and cook your food. Imagine that back home all the gas burners would be nicked by now or used to set stuff on fire, like that boy fae doon the street that?s due you a brown for some vallies and that likesay ken. There was loads of people just milling about the park, eating, lazing about, picnicking and looking at amazing view over the river.
Anyways, we heard the Irish Accent and Ive shouted across, conversation as follows;
A: Hoy Irish, You?re a bit far from home are you not ?
I: You?re a bit far home home yerself there scottie, what you fecking saying to it ?
A & I; Converation about why we were there, he had been six months working etc
I: Oi actually came as a feckin electrician but oi soon packed dat in loikes on account ye need a lie sense. Av not even got common sense never mind a feckin lie sense, je know what oi mean ?
A: Oh right, so what are you doing now
I: Oim just sorto dodging about an that, bit oh work here and a bit oh work there but mostly just living large you know, maybe a bitto casual whork an that?
A: So your being an Irish Pikey then ?
SILENCE FOR 5 SECONDS
I: Now, if yer were English oi might take offence to that? that boy over theres English and he?s a coont, now will you be having a drink with us you fooking Scottish coont or summit to eat, av got some whisky, but its irish moind??
Later same night?
I: Oi Scottish, you?re a bit far from home aint ye?.oive finished the whisky (throws bottle)
I: Old yin, how bigs yer jock, no matter how big it is, its not bigger than moin, oi can tell ye
I leave the day feeling satisfied that no matter where you go in the world there will always be a drunk irish/scotsman in every place in the world, from train stations to the corner of the globe to entertain you no matter how far away from home you are.
