Re: The New Joke Thread

I remember an Australia where once an hour outside the capital cities the **only** coffee you could get was Nescafe.

Describing the process of making real coffee (like grinding up the beans?) would get you stared at open-jawed as if you'd just arrived from Mars.

Until you found a town with greek or italian, maybe yugoslav immigrants, Coober Pedy the underground motel had real coffee. . .

Nah. Doesn't work, does it...??
I think I might like Australians, if only we spoke the same language.

Re: The New Joke Thread

Ref one of the comments above.

We're reaching the point where we need to relocate for health reasons with my wife. Options?

USA, since I'm an American citizen.
Austria, since that's where we both maintain legal residency.
Bavaria, since my wife is a German citizen.

Discussions went back and forth. Decent medical care vs costs of same. Quality of life. Cost of living. Political climate. Climate climate. etc..

Then my wife played the trump card. (Not THAT trump.)


Bavaria has the best beer. And it's served in decent sized mugs.

Imagine retiring in Bavaria.

Re: The New Joke Thread

I was eating breakfast at a hole in the wall in the middle of the Nevada desert. With my travel buddy who was from Germany. One customer to another. “I met this couple from New Zealand.” And they were really nice!” And they spoke really good English!”

Go figure.

Must work though, as apparently "Aussie coffee shops" are a 'thing' in New York and such places.

Although, to be fair, that might have something to do with that brown-coloured beverage Americans call 'coffee' which, to a European or Australian, accustomed to espresso, is about as close to coffee as the pale, insipid liquid Americans refer to as 'beer' is to that product.

Mate, there's a reason they had to export it.....

So if you were silly enough to drink it, just remember that only a few 'Mexicans' ever drank it over here!

[Mexicans, in this context, being Victorians from the perspective of a New South Welshman - they being from 'south of the border']
