Evening Jeff

'ello 'ello..

I have enough trouble typing in English I am not even gonna try typing in Australian, so I will say Howdy Dave

I had an ozzy coworker for 6 years.. they have a way with english

Don't say sunglasses, say "sunnies"
or nice colorfull things like
"you picked up a right swamp donkey the other night, you didn't drag her home didya?"

Vas had me rolling down the hallway with some of the phrases he uses. It was great

Vas, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaate ,

"About 6k to fix and give the whole thing a fresh up.
Or about 14k for the 5 speed."

Ouch ....sounds painful on the old hip pocket. Although it sounds like you were preparing for this eventuality, so I suppose you have been saving up your pennies like a good boy to pay for it.

Aussies have what could be called colourful language skills, its not easy mind you, once you let a few things go, people expect it all the time!!!

But we are naturally funny!!!

Imagine the fun i had language wise with my coworkers @ the previous gig
One Ozzy next to me
One Northern english other side
One Glaswegian Scottish
And the rest of the building
2 Edinbourough Scottish
Russian
Ukrainian
South African
NZ
American from Oklahoma
American from LA
Mexican
etc etc

i can't really do em on my own, can't remember the details to well, but i'll but i can pick up on those accents and adapt to em in minutes..
Even on the phone, typically by the end of the call, i'm speaking the other guy's accent.
I don't really have an english accent of my own..

last year , somebody from norther england visited my uncle, and i was there.
Ended up talking with em, and they asked if i had lived in Leeds or something, because i had the accent and sayings nailed down so well. (best mate at previous work was from Leeds).

Oh yeah, evening gents!

Ha! Now ya talk'n proppa :D

Stijn, sounds like you worked at the UN! Should have had a "bring some good food from the olde country day", they would have been fantastic,

Heya Azza SmileWavy

I got that a lot when I work with the USAF for a couple of years. They were always poking at me to say something or to teach them a phase.

I remember a guy who heard me call a meat pie a maggot bag once and he picked up the saying, until one day he asked the local baker for a maggot bag and near got himself a flogging.

Time for bed for me. Nite all

And you people say we talk funny here in the souf

Night Jeff
