Well the singing is because of an phenomena called excess drinking - it is not just restricted to British Backpackers, lots of nations indulge and I myself have seen hordes of 'Westies' indulging in the same in Kuta
Oh come on, what's wrong with Earl's Court? I especially like that Walkabout Pub with all that iconic Australian stuff, mainly coz we don't get iconic Australian stuff down here. Nothing better than a pie floater when your drunk too, the pea soup helps soak up all the alcohol making you less prone to singing outbursts.
And I can't imagine westies singing to anything, except maybe ACDC. What's a Brit doing in Kuta anyhows? Shouldn't you be in Ibiza scoring with some Essex girs?
And not to get too off topic.
1. Religious intolerance. If it prevents Mormons and Scientologists then I'm all for some.
2. Health Insurance. Government health care all the way. If a government doesn't provide for the health, education and general well being of all its citizens then what's the point of it. I understand that as a younger member of this society that the the medicare levy (government tax for health insurance) I pay is much higher than the cost of the medical treatment I receive (which amounts to around none), but one day when I'm older I'm gonna need a hip replacement or be committed to an institute for the criminally insane and it will all even out in the end. Thats the beauty of a non-profit system.
Cheers all,
Askan
