Please give me a break! / fish & chips
Since I came to this country, I have heard the same sentences over and over again. My friend Eyal in the editing room was kind enough to make a sound clip, for you all to enjoy my daily torture. Along with these little golden phrases you can hear, there are also questions (that just need to be asked) frequently: Why are you not American? (really I get asked this all the time) Do you know Monty Python? Why aren’t you watching the football, you're English right? Why are you not drinking more (same reason as above)? Why did you leave London to come here, it’s better there. All these questions are just not worth answering because they are so stupid. Of course I know who Monty Python were, but unlike in Israel they are no longer popular where I come from. I feel no obligation to watch every game of football. I drink proportionally to someone 1.65m, and I left London because I don’t like fish and chips or tea with milk. Now can someone ask me something more interesting? (The above was an example of English humor, I understand if you don’t find it funny) |

it's a two way street. this post is advancing my understanding of the israeli culture by years....
and I thouht you were the only one who would affect me.....lol
lol
love the comments here
you get the best out of us sister
*snap snap*
you're very tough.
she's a total pussycat really.....
and yes I do care when it gets on my nerves, but the truth is since writing this post, I have come to understand it's the same for everyone, and I feel better about it.
ahhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa the sentance that started the whole thing off....
all right?
fancy a pint????
הולך, אבל רק אם אתה אומר את זה בדרך לציד שועלים
לבוש בקילט ומלווה בבורדר טרייר...
:-)
for heaven's sake, i am so sorry for the inconvenience i caused you ...
this is such a lovely day...
(במבטא הכי מנופח שתדמייני)
ever get the feeling that people are moving on with their lives without you.....
יקי,
אם כבר אז בגרסה האנגלית
i take tea...
father - i have a confession to make...
i drink tea with milk since i was a child, and dont hate me for saying it - i love it!
ok ok so i work in TV and no one here ever says
fish and chips
or would you like a cup of tea....
because they are all so european.
but still i get it everywhere else....
but thanks for reminding me....boy am I lucky.
שכחת עוד שאלה.. או בעצם הערה:
"איזה כייף לך, את עובדת בטלי"...
אמנם אין לזה קשר למוצא שלך, אבל זה עדיין משהו מרגיז שאת שומעת יותר מדי.
oh catholics in france and Ireland are always asking me that, although their accents were different of course.....
it really shocks them when you tell them he was jewish.
I am so glad everyone has added their (and their friend's) stories....once again I discover I have no real clue of the world outside my own bubble........tnx
בהמשך לירון וליאור:
מסיבות כאלה ואחרות, חבר שלי היה במעצר בארה"ב לפני גירוש. אחד הישראלים הבודדים שם, יחד עם מקסיקנים רבים. וכמעט כל יום הוא היה צריך לנהל את הדיאלוג הבא:
- Hey, where you from?
-Israel
(פאוזה)
- Tell me, why you kill Jesus?
(לקרוא חסוס, ולא ג'יזוס)
very deep insights...little did I know this morning when eyal and I were making the recording, that my bitterness would leave to understanding and infact worldpeace!
Thank you. Without you it would have been just plain old bitterness.....lol
בעצם בטיולים שלי ככל שהתעמקתי, ראיתי שלכל אחד יש סטיגמות על מדינות שהוא לא מכיר.
אנשים משתמשים בהם בסך הכל כדי לפתוח בשיחה ו"מאיפה אתה" זה דבר בולט יחסית.
כשאין ידע נרחב אז נתלים במעט דברים שיודעים (הסטיגמות).
אני זוכר רגע של הארה, כשעמדתי עם זוגתי על מדרגות נעות באחד הקניונים המפוארים והמשוכללים בברזיל, הגדול בדרום אמריקה. ברמה שבארץ לא מתקרבים אליה אפילו..
בין חנויות של מיטב המותגים, הבנתי.
בשביל זה שלחו אותנו לפני הנסיעה לעשות חיסונים !
כדי לא לקבל צהבת מוורסאצ'ה.
כדי לא לחטוף מלריה מזארה
ולא טיפוס הבטן מ C&A
I have my days
plus it's always good to refresh my english
That's the way!
You know since I have been here 11 years or so...I must say I have become very azbanit....it could be all this type casting?
עבדתי קצת בקבלה של איזו אכסניה בפלורידה והיו מגיעים לשם טיפוסים מפוקפקים, אז מצאתי שיטה מעולה להפחיד אותם.. מיד הייתי מזפזפת לתוכנית אקשן ומתחילה "ספירת מלאי": thats an AK 47, Hmm.. Uzi, this is a Galil- and so om"
worked like magic
no one even tried to mess with me...haha
well I am learning alot....
I feel better....as always it's good to find out I am not the only one being cliched on...
by the way when people in the UK ask me why I moved to Israel, I simply answer
I LIKE DANGER.
that shuts them up.
Yaron started it and i'll cave in and bring the female version that kept happening to me in the States..
"wow, from Israel, so you're trained to kill people with bare hands' right?"
(so help me god, I got that one more than a few times, and i'm even smaller than you 1.62...)
"you guys ride camels right? "
yah, I guess i look like the motored vehicale is realy new to me..
the funniest by far was: " hey, you've got an accent, where are you from? Israel. oh, never heard of it.." (now, there are very few news broadcasts that didn't at the very least use the word..)
un real
cheers
gadol your a genius!!!
we were talking about this at work today:
and yes people said they have been asked
alot about hummus...
do you live in a kibbutz?
alot about killing....
and quite alot about how backward the technology is....
funny isn't it....
a little easier to handle when your only on holiday!!!!!
You are from Israel?
How is the war going ? (been asked almost everywhere)
Do you live in a tent? (in the US - some of them can be really stupid sometimes)
The holy land!, do you know Jesus? (in South Africa)
Arnt you supposed to wear black clothes and a hat? (in the US)
Have you ever killed someone? (In Brazil)
Do you have cars there, or youre just riding camels? (again in the US)
I love Hummus. (in Germany)
How do you get internet in the desert? (can you guess where?)
Are you a terrorist? (a Drunk woman in Brazil)
Do you know Roni Rosenthal? (a taxi driver in Liverpool)
and many more...
People just have to react when they hear you are from Israel.
you say the nicest things....
as to avoid a red star from my so called friend....
I have to explain...
no rehamim.....means i don't deserve any sympathy at all....because I am just spoilt and polish and can't stop complaining....
or something like that
כוכב אדום
we don't kiss ass in the UK we suck up....
peasant. (lol)
we said no private jokes, so I won't justify you with a comment.....
so all you know are 3 clowns and a football player?
you better get back to the queen court and start ass ki
we're not speaking after the time we were playing monoploy and I asked her to lighten up....sorry...
אין רחמים
well almost right....
I don't like rain, I hate cold weather and I think the english are a bit reserved for my liking (although here I am the english one, basa)
I am jewish and it's nice to be surrounded by other jews of course (as long as they don't talk about religion or keep shabbat, lol)
I do feel at home (or rather I don't feel at home anywhere, so why not here)
I love so many things here and hate so many things.....but London I just love as a place to go visit my friends....
and finally no, the more tanned man is not actually my number one choice....
in men the english got it right.....in my opinion.
well...i'll have to say the most interesting question is why did you choose to live here if you can live in london? i can guess the answer by my self- here you feel more at home, tel aviv is much more sunnier then london, and you like more the tanned israeli man. am i wrong?
a) I gave up on him
b) 1.65 is a fine height....it's the fact that I look very breakable that's the problem.
c) I am waiting for the intelligent question with excitment.....
and no way to high heels, I like to feel safe on the ground.
neshikot booba
כן יקירתי.
מה קורה עם הבחור שנתקלת בו באקראי והבטחת לי שתאתרי אותו למען האהבה?
(את רק 165??? המון רעש את עושה בגובה הזה....:)).....לא לשכוח עקבים.
עכשיו אני הולכת לחשוב על משהו אינטליגנטי לשאול אותך.
:)
we're very close....
but I must say not as close and me and Beckham, I am like his personal advisor.....hehe
