The quickest way to get into a fight in a 1960s Australian pub
Out On The YouTube ^

Posted on 04/10/2021 4:44:56 PM PDT by SamAdams76

Australian pubs once had a reputation the world over as tough, brawling, hell for leather places where you could get into a fight at the drop of a hat.

Please do not make any Crocodile Dundee references.

There were a few rough-looking ones that must have seen the end of a fist. And with that Aussie sun, I bet the oldest one wasn’t over fifty. LOL

A friend of mine worked in Australia back in the 80s, and he said that a sure way to piss off Aussies was to tell them that even though they spoke English, they were still a third-world country.

If somebody tells you to “F-— off”....do it!

I like the twins at the end, very “noice”. I don’t get it though, why would turning your glass upside down get you into a fight?

Paul Hogan was once known as Australia’s answer to Benny Hill. Look up the old Paul Hogan Show.

Hell for leather is not and never was a thing. The idiom was hell bent for leather and it described being in a hurry not in a bar.

Looked it up on YouTube. You’re right...dead ringer for Benny Hill. My Paul Hogan awareness didn’t start until the Crocodile Dundee movies.
