Πειράματα με εστιατόρια πάντα θα κάνει κανείς. Το θέμα είναι, όσο μπορείς, να τα περιορίζεις. Μη ρισκάρεις, ας πούμε, να χαλάσεις την αργία της 25ης Μαρτίου επιλέγοντας ένα φαγάδικο, όπου δεν έχεις ξαναπάει και μάλιστα με υψηλές προσδοκίες να απολαύσεις ένα παραδοσιακό καλοφτιαγμένο μπακαλιάρο - σκορδαλιά. Μην κάνεις δηλαδή ακριβώς αυτό που έκανα εγώ ανήμερα της εθνικής επετείου. Το περί ου ο λόγος μεζεδοπωλείο βρίσκεται στη Φωκίωνος Νέγρη, ήταν γεμάτο και με ευδιάκριτη την παρουσία ηλικιωμένων (αν προτιμάται από νοικοκυρές κάποιας ηλικίας, υπάρχουν πολλές πιθανότητες να προσφέρει καλό ‘σπιτικό’ φαγητό. Αμ δε!).
Τα πρώτα πιάτα έφτασαν μετά από περίπου μια ώρα,όταν ήδη είχαμε καταβροχθίσει και την τελευταία πράσινη ελιά του ‘κουβέρ’ (το οποίο μας φέρανε και φυσικά μας χρέωσαν χωρίς να μας ρωτήσουν... πάλι καλά, από τη μία, διότι πώς θα αντέχαμε τόση ώρα νηστικοί!). Το δήθεν ψητό χταπόδι ήταν καραβρασμένο και βρώμαγε. Ο μπακαλιάρος άψητος, χωρίς τραγανή κρούστα ... Ο ταβερνιάρης, αναγνωρίζοντας το ατόπημα, το πήρε πίσω για να επιστρέψει άλλες μερίδες, καλύτερα τηγανισμένες αλλά με ελεϊνά κομμάτια μπακαλιάρου (ουρές, ό,τι είχε περισσέψει εν ολίγοις). Ο λογαριασμός ήταν εσφαλμένος, συνελόντι ειπείν, το όλο γεύμα μπορεί να καταγραφεί στο top 10 των αποτυχημένων μου.
Μόνη ευχάριστη νότα, το διπλανό ζευγάρι ηλικιωμένων. Η κοκέτα ογδοντάρα κυρία επεδείκνυε φιλοπαίγμονα διάθεση προς το σύντροφό της και οι μεταξύ τους διάλογοι ήταν πολύ χαριτωμένοι:
-«Πως σου φαίνονται τα μαλλιά μου;» ρώταγε ο ενενηντακοντούτης κύριος, εννοώντας μάλλον την ελαφρά βαφή που είχε περάσει και έδινε στην κόμη του μια μωβέ απόχρωση.
-«Χαχαχα! Γελάσαμε!» απαντούσε η κυρία. «Ουρές θα κάνουν τα κορίτσια!» κ.ο.κ.

Whole world Needs A Leader Like This!
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd - Australia Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..
Separately, Rudd angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. '
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'
'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'
