So if an Australian goes to New York from Hong Kong should I go to the 8 Mile creek Pub?

fiona i stumbled across this page and wish i hadn't cause of you. you're a freak. don't call yourself an australian. go to new zealand. 'loud, ugly accents???!!' i think you'll find no agreements anywhere in the world with that one. maybe yours is. were you brought up in australia or do you just have an australian parent? cause if you weren't even brought up there, don't call yourself half-aussie and bag on them. get a life instead.

Hey, what can I say? I guess I'm self-loathing. But you do have to admit that there are a heck of a lot of drunken Australians in the streets of NYC. For some, a plus; for others, a minus.

No problem with Puerto Ricans. Just Australians. And I feel entitled to bitch about them, because, as I said, I am half-Australian. So there.

And by "Australians," Fiona means "Puerto Ricans."

Have to say that I have nothing against Australians (being half-Australian myself) but I hate them being all over Manhattan. They really don't contribute much and they have ugly, loud accents. Their population is relatively small, but why do I feel like they are all here, getting obnoxiously drunk?

Thanks for clearing that up, Brian...I was wondering the same thing.

No, we'd had dinner elsewhere and just showed up to spend the wee hours downstairs. But one of my friends did kiss a big Matilda with cankles.

I was there on Saturday night for the engagement dinner after-party of a friend and his Australian fiancee. We mostly just did the drinking but the emu carpaccio is very good as well. P.S. It's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer.

Both my kids love to eat and Paul was sweet to say that's because I spoiled them with yummy home cooking. But my food never looked like these pictures...
