They're very big on restaurants and coffee shops in Sydney and yes they are all related. There's a Nick in our area in Sydney who owns 4 coffee shops, that I know of. I have an Australian/Greek friend who is a part-owner of a little restaurant just near my apartment here in New York, her name is Bettiina and she is as mad as a cut snake but absolutely delightful.

Mad as a cut snake?!?? I'm gonna steal that one.

LMAO! How did I know your comment was going to be about the snake?! I think it fits you too, to say it that is.

I know it's another Australian expression, but it is what I always say. When a snake is cut in two, both pieces keep moving frantically for some minutes later so you can tell it's really mad.

Did you hear about the two Greek tailors, Euripedes and Eumenides?

That one's even older than I am!

Con and his Aussie mate Stan opened a tin and opal mine. What was it called? The Constantinopal mine, of course.

Groan! Keep 'em coming.

LOLOLOLOL, oh dear, that's brilliant!

I used the think that Active Acidopholis was a Greek triathlete until I saw an advertisement for yoghurt.

Did you hear about the famous Greek Arctic explorer? Chilli Con Carne

All originated from Con the Greek fruiterer comedy TV series here in Australia. Funny show.
