Ethnicity is a state of mind and nationalism can sometimes just be a little too red-neck (being proud of one's tribe at the exclusion of others)...<br /><br />Congratulations on officially becoming an "oi! oi! oi!" member later this month (Oct, '14). Now, can you sing the second verse of the national anthem? :)Pelicula Cinemanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36426299506388637.post-611487495426313832014-08-06T02:19:24.843+09:302014-08-06T02:19:24.843+09:30Lawnmower man is still my favourite!

Still, Albert Khan did it around the world in 1909 (http://www.albertkahn.co.uk/about.html) and HE was from the 19th C!<br /><br />As an unimaginative viewer and immigrant, Louise Whelan still had access to people and places I've yet to privy to. These could still be alternative tourism campaigns to Bingle's "where the bloody hell are you?" :)Pelicula Cinemanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36426299506388637.post-39809015749968811522014-04-30T08:04:31.931+09:302014-04-30T08:04:31.931+09:30Thanks Pelicula Cinema - I couldn't agree more...Thanks Pelicula Cinema - I couldn't agree more!
