My Fav is Sad 'am Who-sain from Eye Rack. and the Eye-racky people.
at the end of the day though it is all academic.....where we say six the aussies say sex and claim we say sux.... I was in Westfields in Paramata and asked a shop attendant for directions to a store and was told to ":Take a left at the left" which I finally got as "take a left at the lift".....my brother who is australian has as much fun over here.
G'day Fixey, mate, wot's rong wiv yer, Australians don't say sex, for six, it's the bloody Kiwi's,(that lot from over the Tasman Sea), they're the ones who talk reeel funnnnnny, they ask for fush un chups, (fish and chips), lift is left as you wrote, apart from that, get it right mate.
What would Australia do without the Kiwi's? I don't know, don't ask me? Maybe get off the dole and do the menial tasks?
As for Merkians calling things **** about face, when "Colin Powell" became the household word in Australia a few months ago, it really ****** me off when all the TV Commentators and newsreaders started calling him "Kolen Powl". It soundeed like a nasty communicable disease, and very painfull too?
I'm thankful for the input to this board, I've been pissing myself laughing for the past ten minutes it's absolutely priceless humour, keep it coming, yo all?
The Merkains might be a funny lot, but you've got to love 'em, after all they give us in the "English" speaking world a great laugh, now, don't they, be honest, don't they? (do they not) sorry Fred?
As for the bridge between Scotland and Ireland how much is the "TOLL"?
It will save my wife from getting sea sick on our way to and from Ireland?
You've been keeping that one secret Limerickman, naughty, naughty?
With regards to Smoking, my old Dad God rest his Soul, collapsed in 1952 in a "Pea Souper Fog (Smog) he rode his bike home from the docks in "Canning Town" God only knows how he saw where he wass going anyway. I'm sure some will remember the fossil fuel ******** that went on in London back then, when everybody burned coal and the smoke **** went up the chimney and polluted the fresh london Air?
At the time he smoked an ounce of cut tobacco a week, rollups, for those who don't know, he was 56 years old at the time and had been smoking since he was a fifteen year old lad. Well, the doctor said "Bill stop smoking or it'll kill you". He gave it up immediately and became the biggest advocate (wowser) for not smoking and lived until 2001 and attained the good old age of 105 years.
Here in OZ we have new regulations, that came into frorce today 1st January 2005, No Smoking on the Beaches, (Gold Coast) etc., No Smoking in Hotel Bars (pubs), No Smoking within 100 metres of a Childrens Playground, No Smoking out in front of Public Buildings. The list goes on and on and the smokers are not happy, cigarette advertising and sales are limited to a square metre of space in shops and supermarkets.
But with all of this, I'm not convinced the government is really serious about the problem, because the get a fairly hefty tax from the product. They go through the motions, but I question their resolve on the matter, we'll just have to see what transpires eventually.
Synical, you bet your boots I am? Rebellious, yes that an' all?
Don't look back, unless it's to see who you dropped on the last climb? TBC
