how did it go?

I've met many, but the best one was when I was 16 and there was this super hot blonde Aussie girl called Sam who was backpacking around the world and got a job at the cinema I was working at. I was at the time just 16, babyfaced and so looked younger than that. So she was not just out of my league but out of my whole dimension, and I accepted the reality presented to me. Meanwhile every British toothed council estate bloke that worked there was fawning over her and making passes as if she was even going to give their uncultured arses even hint of a chance.

So being a cinema part of the job was to sit on a small fold out chair at the back of the screen to watch the audience. During one of the many times I was avoiding work I'd go into one of the screens and just watch a movie for a bit so the managers could not see me. I went into a showing of as I remember the original Ninja Turtles movie to kill some time. Sam was sitting on the fold out chair and as I was standing next to her she saw me and said "Hey, no need to stand, you can sit here" Indicating I could sit on her lap. (This in 100% true, I'm not bullshitting for GAF cred). You're damn right I took up that offer! For clarity she only did that because I had that babyfaced little brother thing going on, so no she wasn't going to fuck me dude.

So I'm sitting there trying not to pop a boner and another memeber of staff walks in and see us. He then goes out and a few other guys just casually pop in and out seeing that baby Nush had got further with Sam than any of them ever had. I was a legend for about a week.

Damn, I was trying to fend off a rager reading that.
 
10 years ago, I briefly had a girl from Australia as a podcast co-host, It didn't go well, she was a psychopath. She lasted 5 episodes before she had to be replaced.

Many, they called me mate and said good on ya and shit like that. A Starbucks barista in Sydney noted she had the same last name as me. That was fun.

Nice country.

I did, in the UK out of all places.

I was on the train to Peterborough to visit my sister (we’re from Sweden but she had a job there). And next to me, on the train sat this really polite and hilarious Australian guy who just started talking to me. We had a good time, made the train ride a bit more enjoyable.
 

Rest

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Of course not, Australians don't exist.

Yes twice here in the UK when I went to some gigs, chatted to a bunch of them after a Foo Fighters Hyde Park gig & they were a lot more friendlier than the Londoners.

Second time in a hotel booked in manchester with my now ex, receptionist was Aussie, she was chatty, down to earth & funny, she made a mistake with the 2nd night booking & said “just tell the cleaners, sorry” and she’s a bit of a “Dag”, whatever that means.
