“Here’s to all who went down under,
Who tore their Mammy’s hearts asunder,
Who chose the thongs over shteel-teo wellys,
And tried to tan their pashty bellys.
However this song was wrote because,
There’s friends of ours below in Oz,
Who daily take a sun drenched stroll,
And shed a distant tear for home.”
Bondi Junction, the new anthem of Irish emigrants in Australia.

“I have an appointment to receive a new Public Services Card. In section 2, it states I need to bring a “Property lease, Tenancy agreement or Receipt for payment of Household Charge”. I’m a home owner but haven’t paid the Household Charge and won’t be paying it. Is this another way of keeping tabs on the ordinary citizen?”
Anyone?

That’ll learn them.
