If, like me, your reply to the question, “what’s up” is still, “fine, thankyou very much, how are you?” then<br />
mazel tov, because in the face of enormous pressure from far too many Americans, you have maintained your<br />
identity as an Englishman, Austrailian, or Scotsman (that’s you, Philp!).<br />
Nevertheless, ignoring the fact that the Commonwealth is, unfortunately, deep in the minority here in<br />
Yerushers ( I refuse to beleive that Bill is ‘The Leader of the Free World’ - G-d save the Queen), BASP and<br />
Hebrew U has been bloody fantastic. Resnick is very cool - picnics on the hill; getting very pissed in random<br />
rooms; and wondering around in the early hours in pyjamas (I know for a fact that’s not just me!); the Orient<br />
- getting very pissed (again), and dancing to various musical efforts; 2 for 1 at Hershele, and wild nights at<br />
Talpiot.<br />
Also mustn’t forget the ridiculous number of pulls generally - everyone seems to have done their utmost to<br />
further international relations! Wicked trips to Masada, Sea to Sea etc. and Club 11 maintaining everyone’s<br />
healthy diet with veggie shnitzels, hamburgers, and even more excitingly, sausages. Luvly jubbly! Oh yes,<br />
how could I forget the course - well, we did all come to study after all! Quite a few stimulating trips to the Old<br />
City with Chaim Weizman, Sir Chroig, Jesus Christ, Prince Joe, and the Rambam, educational yet enjoyable<br />
lessons, and, of course, the one thing which is universally adored - Hebrew! It’s true that some of us attended<br />
more classes than others (admittedly under threat of expulsion and deportation) but it was good to be together.<br />
Well, what can we say? A big thankyou to Dotan - we love you, to Yoel who made it all possible - we love<br />
you too, and to all our teachers who put up with us (lets face i t , some better than others - that’s you Queen<br />
Sharona!)<br />
But cheers to everyone for being such a blinding group - we’ll definately see each other in Oz, Britain or<br />
Switzerland, and probably somewhere in between. Perhaps we’ll even keep in contact with random<br />
Americans and Canadians. If you are one of these and reading this, let me tell you something: yes, of course<br />
we find your accents highly irritating, no, shag does not mean kiss, and if you now understand words like<br />
‘blinding’, ‘geezer’, ‘sound bloke’, and ‘snog’, then congratulations! Instead of your mutated form of the<br />
language, you now speak the Queen’s English!<br />
