+ 8 - 7 | Jaf(f)as anyone?

Posted on 31 May 07 in Notes and nonsense
JAFAThis is Jaffa, which gives its name to Jaffa oranges and to Jaffas -- orange chocolate filled balls, with hard orange colored candy coating -- well known to Australians and popular at the movies. The man, it seems, is a science fiction Jaffa. JAFA is also the Japan Australia Friendship Association and doubtless other things as well.

But until I read Lia Pryor's column in the(sydney)magazine for June, I didn't realise that when I visited London, I was JAFA -- Just Another F--king Australian.

(Apparently, in New Zealand, Jafa has long since referred to Aucklanders and Auckland is 'Jafaland'. So when I was there, I was Jafa in Jafaland.)
