Only 6 days a week Jack, we take Sunday off

at least you're not the Irish.

[Craig]

The Irish are great people, the wife and I are heading to Dublin at xmas time this year for a few days

[Jack Frost]

I know Craig, I was just kidding... you know, playing on old stereotype of Irish people. (who happens to love drinks, woman and dynamite)

[Craig]

I knew you where just kidding

[Jack Frost]

last year, while going to the sea, I met an Irish guy in a bus, he was sitting next to me. He looks almost exact like Hugo Weaving, only with more hair.

I swear, I couldn't understand 50% of the sentences he spoke, nor could American guy sitting next to us... and that Irish guy... Maaaaan, he was talking almost 15h of the trip, without pause. His wife literally run and sit in the middle of the bus at some points.

[Craig]

Sometimes I have a hard time understanding an Irish accent

It's a bad thing when a woman working in the bank says she has never heard of the United Kingdom or Great Britian and had no idea they were a Country. And then says really? I'm sorry but I've never heard of Scotland, England Ireland or Wales at all, and have no idea what the United Kingdom or Great Britian is.

It's the year 2011, and that is shocking for anyone living in a first world Country not to know such a thing.

Craig!!! What will you say if I tell you that my father had gone to America several years ago and when he told a police officer, yeah, a police officer that he is from Greece, the question was: "Greece? What's that?"

yep. I was planing on visiting Athens these year, but decided not to because of the unrest in Athens.

Yeah, it's a pity all this. I supose that you know the situation here in Athens through the news, right? The politics sucks and thousands of citizens are daily down town in Athens causing truble and chaos in order to protest for their rights... A week ago they burned residences and shops in the city and this definatelly does not enhance the tourism... I mean, they have to complain but this is extreme.
