ME TOO !!!!!

???

 

I thought all the pome's lived in the UK......

 

yeah, it's only us convicts down here

 

They talk funny.

 

No poms left in Oz ,we hunt them down with packs of savage kangaroos .A good way to spend a Saturday afternoon..

 

Ha, wedge!

Actually, that is pretty typical.

 

First gang I met from Australia was a group of guys that would come over every year, starting on the west coast of the US and worked their way east, stopping at swap meets, buying cars and parts, then shipping their finds back to Oz by air in shipping containers. I met them at the old Indianapolis Motor Speedway swap meet. Nicest bunch of guys you would ever want to meet. Been years ago, but I'm still in awe.

 

My cousin married an Aussie "Syd" from Sydney he had the nerve to tell me that "you yanks butcher the English language".... kinda hurt my feelings.

 

Well, not any of the 4 million Kiwis in NZ say that

 

My little sister is an Aussie...

 

I am guessing you met some girls

 

99% of em are fair dinkum ...just don't mention the 'underarm incident'..

 

Fleet-Master I see you live at Outram ?? You Kiwis cant get through life without sheep can you ?? LOL

 

nope..they keep us warm and fed...

 

To help everybody understand the Ocker culture here's some help with their Bush Etiquette
It is now recognised throughout the civilised world but we all need to be reminded from time to time.



In General:

1. Never take an open stubby to a job interview...

2. Always identify people in your paddocks before shooting at them.

3. It's tacky to take an Esky to church.

4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.

5. Even if you're certain you're included in the will, it's rude to take your Ute and trailer to the funeral.


Eating Out:

1. When decanting wine from the box, tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to bruise the wine.

2. If drinking directly from the bottle, hold it with only one hand.


Entertaining at Home:

1. A centrepiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist..

2. Don't allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners.


Personal Hygiene:

1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in private, using one's OWN Ute keys.

2. Even if you live alone, deodorant isn't a waste of money.

3. Extensive use of deodorant can only delay bathing by a few days.

4. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a no-no, it alters the taste of finger foods and if you are a woman it can draw attention away from your jewellery.


Theatre/Cinema Etiquette:

1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up after the movie ends.

2. Refrain from yelling abuse at characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear you.


Weddings:

1. Livestock is a poor choice for a wedding gift.

2. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A tracksuit with a cummerbund and a clean football jumper can create a tacky appearance.

3. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for the occasion.


Driving Etiquette:

1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if your gun's loaded and the roo's in your rifle sight.

2. When entering a roundabout, the vehicle with the largest roo bar doesn't always have the right of way.

3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.

4. When sending your wife down the road with a petrol can, it's impolite to ask her to bring back beer too.

 

I spent a whole night speaking with a NZ guy. It was quite funny we managed to understand, I m french And my spoken english is far from perfect .
They still remember the Rainbow Warrior .....
I planned to go to SA, but I felt in love with a Canadian girl.
Still here, and love Jacquie Ryan

 

Kiwis are way nicer!

 

Shit Kerry you tell me yanks dont get my jokes , what will they make of your ocker culture list .....LOL

 

Sheeez, your talkin my language there...lol..

 

I actually stole the list from an Aussie

I haven't yet explained to the Yanks that calling an Aussie a poofter isn't an insult !
But a challenge that eventually leads to "cirrhosis of the liver"

I'll let you explain to them what a real 6 pack is [ with "Darwin stubby's" ]

 

pfft, Kiwis, more like Canadians ....but slower

 

Geex man...dont go callin us Poms man...the the LASt thing ANY Aussie wants to hear.

Limeys?

NO WAY, hahaha !!

Do you know all 4 million?

Really - 4 different Kiwi's told me the Joke,
Why do Kangaroo's Hop? Because Australia's not fit to walk on.
And then referred to them as Skippy's.

 

here's why.

 

Yeah, well he's from Sydney. They're a weird mob up there. You're well within your rights to give him a smack in the teeth. For all of us.

 

Too right mate.
Those that say skippy probably have OZ blood running through them...
