As well as being ‘Australia Day’ this day is also ‘Republic Day” in India

    • …and another India is saying, “Why did that bloke not buy enough Grecian 2000 to do his beard as well?”

      • Some years ago I treated Mrs D to a night out at the theatre

        She was not too keen on my choice of event – a musical/dance/comedy telling the history of the Bollywood film industry.

        She was even more dubious to find we were amongst the few non-asians in the audience.

        Once it started, however, she was enraptured and thoroughly enjoyed it

        There is an Asian grocery store/off-licence right next to the theatre. When the show was over, I nipped in there to buy a couple of bottles of wine, leaving Mrs D waiting outside.

        I should have been gone no more than 5 minutes

        Around 15 minutes later I emerged, clutching the bottles in my fists and muttering imprecations

        ‘Fucken bastards. Couldn’t get bloody served. They were all too busy jibber-jabbering in fucken Hindi to some auld geezer at the front of the queue

        What did he look like? asked Mrs D

        ‘Scruffy git’, I replied

        Pair of trainers, dark trousers (probably pissed-stained), manky raincoat. Looked like a right pervert.

        “Did he have a beard?” asked Mrs D

        “yes”, I replied

        “Like this?”, said she – holding up a copy of her souvenir programme from the show we had just watched

        Yup, you’ve guessed it. The geezer I was slagging off – the ‘pervert’ – was none other than the star of the show, and the guy with the two-toned beard – Amitabh Bachchan :oops:

  1. India may be rising, but they’re getting seriously stuffed by the Aussies at the moment.
