LOL....I love being called unaustralian! Just like 'lay down Sally' - the ULTIMATE unaustralian!

The constant grazing amazes me - I've just opened a meeting request for a regular 20 minute staff meeting - bring a plate for morning tea! They have to be kidding - last time we had enough food to sink the Titanci, I just refuse polItely otherwise I'd be the size of a house!!

The ultimate compliment in my book "you are so unaustralian"

That's because they have been up since silly o'clock!!

I call it "shut the f**k up" o'clock, we're still sleeping, you little rugrats.


Just cos they're born here doesn't give them the right to wake up at 4 am and be a pain in the arse.

Apparently that right is reserved for old Australians. and every f**king neighbour with a lawnmower

Horrifies me hearing them in meetings using terms like that, and also annoys me when they talk Aussie-baby-slang - to hear a bunch of Executive Managers agreeing to continue the discussion "with the ambos this arve" or some such meaningless comment just ruins their credibility

Ok, is there any Aussie ways that you guys have adopted!!
That is what i was meant to of said at the beginning of the thread Sorry

P.S I love the no shoes pj peculiarity, I woundnt do it my self though , well maybe the no shoes bit.

yep, back in london I would walk quickly. Now I amble along.

What's wrong with having plenty of excuses to eat cakes? if only i'd known i'd have moved here years ago?!

very true.....
and i have to admit to using "how's it going?"
and silly abbreviations like arvo

when in rome...

Well, I do say "too easy mate" in work alot. But really I mean "you stupid idiot could you not have fixed that yourself".

The thing that I have noticed is the style of clothes. Never in my life have I seen shorts so tight and so short to the point you can see their ladylumps.

At night time it gets worse, there were a group of girls in Freo on Sunday night and a couple wore skirts so short that you could see her blue undies, the other girl had no undies.

And the tight satin blouses are very popular here as well.

But the shorts could really not get any shorter or tighter - perhaps if I had the figure I might wear them but I doubt it.

It does seem to be the fashion.

Fairy Bread..

What gets me about the "no shoes" thing is when they allow little kids to do it, who know no better. I've seen them in supermarket carparks, having glass taken out of their feet, one last week was sat on the pavement while her mother removed a fag end from between her toes. Sorry but I personally think its a dangerous practice.
We had a woman here last week picking up some furniture she'd bought from The Bloke, she was outside in the pouring rain, walking across the street with no shoes on, heavily pregnant and moaning that her feet hurt. I was very good, I didn't say a word, but......

The Bloke walks round outside in bare feet all the time, he's an adult, at least he knows what he's doing () but it winds me up when he then walks indoors and finally gets into bed still with the dirt from the street on his feet.

It's disgusting!..but i tried it, just the once
