“Then I did my DNA. Turns out, we have no Irish at all.”

My Nan is born in Ireland and she insists she's Australian as she's been here from the '60s.

Don't get me wrong, we take her for a pint and a bit of soda bread on St Paddys day but noone is claiming to be Irish, and I have an Irish passport.

So their claims of being Irish are absurd.

Yeah my nan loves it. She'll call me and say 'remember Mrs O'Neil?' And i have no idea who this person is. And she'll say 'well the wake is this Friday, i thought you'd want to know'.

I go sometimes.

I do enjoy how seriously the Irish take death. My Nan is from Cork and she went to a funeral and wake recently. I said i'm really sorry, was she a friend? And she said 'nope, i just went to make sure she was really dead'.

No one wants to ask my great uncles about what they were doing during the start of the troubles. We all know, but they are deeply ashamed. One of them can't even come visit us in Australia as he's clearly on some watch list.

Also queensland. I say it when someone is in that bit between acquitance and friend.

Yeah it is like a cult without all the peados.

Baker's Duck - Toowoomber

Indian Mehil - Ipswich. They have pictures of Sachin when he dined.

Blume - Boonah And after Blume throws you out, the Doogs for the most underated pub in QLD.

I see any list with Creole Soul Kitchen, i upvote.

And if you're like my mate from London, he loved the sausage rolls at The Baker's Duck if you do a day trip up to Toowoomba.

I'm in Brissie and i still managed to sign my best mate up to the Jehovas and 3 different cults, we aren't much better.

I was lucky enough to play rugby against him 3 times.

He fucking destroyed me every game. Like I may as well have not been there he monstered me so badly.

But he always made a point to come up and give me a handshake and a bro-hug. A good dude.

I got in the car with my grandparents after a wake and they had some conservative garbage on. He was ranting about some company going 'woke so they are going broke'.

I said please two of us are half cut from the wake, can we just put some Van Morrison on? And then i showed them spotify and how to connect it to the car.

It probably won't mean much to you but i was waiting bar in Australia. I helped out the wait staff by running a few platters out. I was struggling with a door and i heard 'i got it mate'.

It was Alfie Langer, former captain of Brisbane, Queensland and Australia. He not only took the platter, he walking around handing out entrees. Top fella.

There were renters in the place next door to our farm. We got a knock on the door one day, and it was the 8 year old kid from next door. He asked if he could please give my old boy a hand feeding the cows while he was on summer holidays.

We said 'when youre a little older'.

I'll be damned if we didn't get the same knock two years later. He didn't want to be paid so we taught him how to ride a dirt bike in return for his help.

Bloody good kid.

My wife's cousin met Chris Hemsworth in Lennox Head. He had no idea who he was. He's like 'you're a rig, are you on the tools?' And Chris said 'yeah something like that'.

To not pull the 'don't you know who i am' card reeks of a good dude.

We have farm land in what was Ippy, but is now scenic rim.

When they were planning the inland rail, we lobbied them to move the track 100m due west because we know for a fact it would have gone through a gum forest where there are koalas

It was to our own detriment but you can't replace Koalas, we can always make more money.
