I wonder if he had to do some type of fundraising to get there. He is in for some serious stick when he gets back. Rum clearly doesn't agree with him.

A timely blow against the hegemony of irritating globetrotting students in niche locations.

Viva Guyana.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegemony I dont think you know what that word means and it certainly dosent apply to going to some far flung place next to Brazil that everyone here had not heard about.

Maybe if it was Africa as a lot of students tend to go there for a year building houses and that lark, even then that word is still just as wrong.

Hegemony is a control of power.

He only asked him if he wanted a shot.

I'm sure you know well - it being AH - I was using the phrase as a sarcastic/jocular piss-take of cultural hegemony to describe some student/backpacker worldviews of host countries and their attitude to the norms therein.

You'll no doubt get a few admiring PMs from other students for your erudition though.

Were great with a few drinks in us:pac:


An Irish teenager has been charged with threatening to shoot and kill the president of Guyana during what his lawyer said was an alcohol-fuelled conversation with two of the leader’s bodyguards.

Cillian James Crossan, a 17-year-old volunteer with an aid group, was joking when he said he would shoot and kill president Donald Ramotar and said it because he did not believe the two men were really bodyguards, defence lawyer Glenn Hanoman said.

“He had been drinking beer since early the morning and had even mixed rum and beer and had them at the same time,” Mr Hanoman said. “I think that was the main factor at play when he argued with two of the guards.”

The incident occurred on Sunday at a rodeo in the rugged and remote Rupununi region along the country’s border with Brazil. The president was not there at the time.

Crossan pleaded not guilty to the charge before a local magistrate and released on the equivalent of about €240 bail over the objections of prosecutor Vishnu Hunte.

“The threat was directed to none other than the president of Guyana, his excellency Donald Ramotar, by a foreign national,” Mr Hunte said. “There is therefore a likelihood that he may flee the jurisdiction since he is not a resident of Guyana.”

The offence is classed as a minor crime and Crossan, who is in Guyana for one year as a volunteer with the British group Project Trust, faces a maximum sentence of a fine of no more than €770.

Pity he's not you mean.

All that would happen in the Guyana president would threaten to shoot Paddy Irishman, nothing would happen and it would all be over.

Gave a quick look, and saw no sign of a thread like it, my bad, please delete, mods.

I had been drinking beer since early the morning and had even mixed rum and beer and had them at the same time, and I guess just lost the run of myself...
