The Australian Lifestyle

Over the last five weeks I have been trying to pick up on some of Mal’s more interesting sayings just to see that I haven’t stereotyped him as a Home & Away , Neighbours type of Australian. We are all led to believe that all Australians have a lot to say for themselves except for our very own Mal. Since he’s been over here the only people he seems to dislike are Kiwis (obviously some jealousy over sheep) and his fellow Australians who don’t hail from New South Wales. During his short stay he has had to endure some of his team-mates asking ridiculous questions about what they do and don’t have in Australia i.e. tea, electricity and strong lager. Being an Australian he does like a good Barbie (I don’t mean the plastic doll either, though who knows ?? HA HA HA Sorry Mal !!!!). He has also been known to utter the words like "Ripper",

“Shrimp” and “Inbred” . So that just goes to prove my point that every single Australian soap is a true to life experience of Aussies. So the next time you look at Mal think he could be a Soap Star back home.

The Real Shropshire Star Interview

When the shropshire Star got wind of a Perkins overseas player they immediately got on the phone to Slim to find out what the score was. The Interview that was in the paper was totally made up and not exactly what Slim said. This is the true version, Stuart dunn’s questions are in normal text and Slim’s reply is in bold. “So Garry you’re bringing over an Overseas Player”
“Yeah we’ve decided to try and get this on through customs”
“Do you mind telling me what nationality he is ?”
“From what I’ve been told he’s Austrian !!”
“Austrian”
“No sorry, Australian” 		“Well now that we’ve got that out of the way, what’s his name?”
“Mark Serpent”
“No that’s not right, Mike Surplus, yeah that’s it”
“Are you sure ?”
“I’d know I am the Captain” “What does he do Bat,Bowl or keep wicket”
Interview continued …..

“He’s a right handed, Off spinner”
“So you were looking for another spinner in the team”
 “We haven’t got a spinner in our side !!”
“But I thought you were a spinner “

“Oh right I am”
 “So where does Mike come from”
 “It’s a little village called Syderney”
 “Are you sure it’s not Sydney”
“No I was told he was from a village”
“Do you know anything about this player at all ?”

"Yes, I’ve just been stringing you along all day”
“Garry I’ve got to put something in the paper !!”
“Sorry, I’ve got to go, Notts Forest are going to go top of the First Division tonight”

And that’s what really happened, Honest
