Re: OOORUUU
Don't worry, imagine speaking to a 4 year old and limit your vocabulary to that and you will be just fine. Oh and add 'o' or 'i' or 'ie' to the end of everything. "I saw a bikie having a tini with his bickie at the barbie, He had his mates Bono, jono, brad, and jimbo with him" you get the idea....

Sounds like an Aussie version of Cockney slang (which I hate) so thats another thing to get used to!

Hi Flea aka Granny
Well, after having my ear to ground for a few days......
I havent heard it at all - most disappointing truth be told. Shame, was looking 4wd to it.

Re: OOORUUU
wouldnt catch me watching that.....here or anywhere!
I probably avoid any programme where the word would be uttered.
Had a funny one, at the local servo getting some wood for the burner. Nice chap who serves me told me the garage owners wife had been filling bags herself last nite 'up ont border ranges'......I didnt bother saying anything (as I have before) but its offcuts they sell, obviously from the woodyard.
Either hes a bit dim or thinks I am very stupid, 'oh look, these bits of wood happened to fall off the tree looking like offcuts'.....
