"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

Noel Me Mate and I were talking to some Irish girls at a pub in Port Melbourne tonight. Noel asked one of them whether she was Catholic or Protestant and she replied Catholic of course. Noel told her that this was a Protestant pub and that the Catholic pub was across the road (a la Northern Ireland). She apologized and was getting up to leave until he told her it was only a joke. Noel went on to joke that it was nice of them to share their flag with Italy (India and Mexico too sort of was my contribution). Chairman Noel says that Irish girls are either sluts or nuns. We didn’t find out which category these girls fitted into because we were too busy taking the piss. Still, it was good craic anyway.
