Hey Brootal, careful, parklane is in Canada (That country we whoop in the C'wealth games). (The games they claim not to care about, 'cept we whoop 'em in the Olympics as well) I hope I haven't started a bad thread idea with this.

Yeah... I know, but it's the same as the English, Scotthis and Irish all being POMS!!!

Now that should get them going (if there's any here.)

THONG = Choco's favourite footwear, usually purchased from Truckstop 31, Marulan as it's the last true place where you can 'double-pluggers' for $6.

I thought they were called "go-aheads" cause you can't go backwards in them...

These yanks will think you are talking underwear.

Interesting. I had to buy a pair of Japanese safety boots over the Christmas break and could only find single pluggers after my last good double pluggers blew out. They're just not the same, and you certainly don't have that strong secure feeling when breaking into a sprint.

X38 · March 02, 2005, 04:10:32 AM

Quote from: "TISOK"Now these Americans will see only some one like Carps gives such an fair dinkum ear bashing.
Perhaps they will also see he is full of it

Trust me, they already know!

For those who are unaware. I was a member of the original Rodders Roundtable way back when the dubyuh, dubyuh, dubyuh was in its infancy.

There's also a reason why the people here won't have any trouble coming to terms with the young lady you guys know as Dolly, because she is the love child of the RRT and a butt ugly and very scary fellow named Ravynn.

Of course she's presently very busy with her beau, Ted Shoemaker, helping him win his next motor race.

Quote from: "Mr Cool"Yeah our language can fill a book.

As my kid would say..."DERRERR!

The book is called a dictionary.

And here's a little snippet of information for ya. It's widely agreed by linguists arouund the globe, that the American version is much more pure and closer to the original English language than what the Poms currently use.

Quote from: "dusty"spent some time in Browns Plain, and also in Goolagong, about 8 years ago

Really?

Thats where I live - been here off & on since '82. Why would anyone come here to visit? :?

As for Goolagong, I think you may have that one mixed up with another place with an equally difficult name, or I have been caught out again not knowing all the place names in the country.

Quote from: "38HAULR"until I was informed that NSW produced more bananas than QLD

We did this to death on the HRI - we don't grow more bananas, we just bend more. They truck the straight ones up here for bending.
