Sent a few texts, no reply, so proper dummy spit. The thing is I'll be called a convict or whatever, Irish mates there would be called terrorists, potato farmers etc etc People were saying I was out of order, but it's almost impossible not to offend folk these days. So was I too harsh?


      No, next!

            before you make (what you think) are funny remarks about someone, ask yourself how you would feel if someone said it to you, in front of a load of people...

            she's probably feeling humiliated and embarrassed

              Too far over the line I reckon. I take the p1ss a lot but always pitch it based on the audience, if under attack I might take things to this level but only if I knew them really well and probably not in a big crowd. I have occasionally stepped over the mark and even if everyone laughs it's still not OK. Take flowers, say you are mortified and very sorry, don't try to justify or explain. They will still think you are an @rse but it's still the right thing to do.

                  Sounds like you may have worked out the answer to your own question.

                    Oh. My. God. A classless, socially retarded Australian, out in the big wide world, making a complete idiot of himself and shaming his nation and fellow countrymen? This is just so unusual. I am shocked. Really. I mean, shocked.

                    I think if you were to travel back in time, you'd find you're the reason they invented the fence.
