Whoa, stone the bloody crows. What the f@#k 's going on here?

I work with a fantastic elderly American guy who's been out here (Gold Coast) for about 8 months now and he still can't get over how we unashamedly bastardise the english language. He is still looks at me like I've grown a third ear every other day and asking me to translate for him. I even bought him an Aussie slang book to help him with our native tongue. He still can't grasp how we call a redhead bloke with freckles Blue.

But he loves orstraaayliyaaaah and everything we have on offer including our fruit salad mix of orstraaayliyens which is made up of us, kiwis, wogs, poms, yarpys, yanks, ruskies, japs and chingers. This is our language and we make no apologies. We also bear no grudges nor let the past impact on living our lives with those from elsewhere.

But anyway I hope that 'sleepless' does actually take a sleeping pill and has a little lie down, chills out and goes to sleep then wakes up all happy n stuff like the rest of the guys (n gals) on this fantastic site. Settle down sunshine.

BTW my yank mate calls Jap imports 'rice cookers', he didn't raise an eyelid when I told what we call them. Believe me, he is not racist.

Back to the topic, if any runs are being organised in SE Qld I'm in
