Things you don't see often

[Shell]

Did you then keep it, place it under your pillow & make a wish?

Did the Leprechauns then visit you that night in order to retrieve it & replace it with a pot of gold as payment?

Um no. Idk cant remember what happened to it.

If you rock up to a shopping center early morning you'll occasionally see a bunch of people walking around as a walking group for exercise.

What I don't see often is groups of joggers around streets. Its usually just one person or group of 2. It'll happen once every few months but I'll then see a group of 20-30 jog past.

Whats humorous is seeing the last one or two people lagging behind the rest of the group.

I'm not insulting them for giving it a go.

Nah its all good.

Went for a long walk the other day and this fairly large man was jogging along sweating like crazy. My mate and I nodded to him and when he went past we said "good on him for getting out and doing it" but at the same time there were these blokes fishing (full Bogan looking) could hear them say "look at this C**t"... and "why bother mate"

Was tempting to tell them where to go but didnt want to get stabbed

There are a bunch of joggers who run in Fitzroy Gardens nearly every lunch time. About 10 of them. They fly up both sides of you like a pack of wolves.

Saw a family of Asians yesterday speaking perfect English.

I've never seen a kilt shop.

That’s a good point ha ha

That’s kinda racist.

You think that if someone is Asian, they cannot speak perfect? Ever think that English might be the first language for them, that they were all born in Australia?

It's a generalisation.

No, I did not say that.

Stating facts is not racist. I don't think I've ever seen an Asian speak perfect English.

My mate Sam for starters.

I’m Asian, my family has been in Australia since 1964. My mother came here at the age of 3, from Fiji, an English speaking country. I was born in Melbourne. Our family speaks perfect English.

 

[akkaps]

Or it could be that I’m exposed to it a lot more than you are.

You mustn't know many?

On the contrary, I talk to many everyday, through work and the area I live in.

I did not.

Im gonna give cruffy the benefit of the doubt here. He has not seen an asian family speak perfect english all together. Doesnt deserve to be crucified for it.

Perhaps Cruffy hasn't mixed with asians. or australians who look asian. Its quite possible.

But for mine indians are asians, and sri lankans. English is one of their languages, and they speak naturally, generally speaking.

Stating facts is not racist. I don't think I've ever seen an Asian speak perfect English.

On the face of it they may have an excuse (second or third language). For "white" aussies who don't speak proper english, what's their excuse?

Wait, how does one see someone speaking?

You must be fun to be around
