The Stare
This from the Age today:
Bombs dropped near port
An Australian woman waiting to be evacuated from Lebanon says bombs have been falling close to Beirut port.
Angela Zene Hadchite told Sky News that bombs were being dropped by Israeli aircraft close to the port where Australians were waiting to board a ferry.
"There was just two bombs, they just bombed twice very close by to us,'' she said.
"The floor just shook beneath us.'' Mrs Hadchite said she believed the bombs were from an Israeli aircraft.
"We can hear Israeli planes,'' she said.
The Australian-Lebanese national, who has been living in Lebanon for the last nine months, had been waiting with her family at the port in Beirut for four hours since 4am for a ferry out.
The ferry is due to leave at 11am Beirut time (6pm AEST).
And John Howard still says that Australia stands by Israel no matter what???
On another note - how true is the "curry stare"?
You know the fact that people of Indian/Sri Lankan background will stare at you to suss out if you are also Indian/Sri Lankan?
It is so bloody stoopid and yet they all do it.
And you know what it must be genetic given my indian blood, cos I find myself looking at Indian/Sri Lankan people too - and so there is probably some curry in Dandenong blogging the fact that I stare at them near Flinders Street Station too..

People stare at me too but I think it's because I smile and over here you're not allowed to do that; people think just because you're smiling that you're laughing at them and they get very aggressive and growly and snarky with you.
Solution? Start to scowl and grimace like the rest of them (or just look disdainful and bored)- you won't get charged 5 times the local rate for anything, and you'll be left alone.
I really enjoyed looking at your site, I found it very helpful indeed, keep up the good work.
