I bet The Newcastle Song was based on ur Ute. Just hope it was a Holden mate with exhausts tjsts louder than a Barnsey concert

Ha Ha, Loved the Newcastle Song who wouldn't run from a 7ft Hells Angle

I wouldn't pith on a Holden if you held it down. Always a Blue Oval Man meself. Gone for a jap oil burner this time, Elton Triton rules ....

Seems this Pauline lady has been busy doing linguistical research,now is she a lass,a sheela or a 10 pound pom

Later today going to down an Ice cream soda or should I be saying a spider

She was a racist bigot actually, but lets not go there.

I image you can get a Spider at Maya Restaurant in Udon.

Im having a BBQ soon with a few Aussies soon, I suppose Pomps you could fence sit and record whats said and we can translate later ????

I don't think it's the bigoted Pauline that once ran a fish and chip shop wazza.

NZ uses a mix of these words. We'd say potato cake or fritter but not scallop, togs (when I was young), rubbish or dust bin but not garbage bin, drinking fountain, suitcase or bag but not port.

I would have thought we might mirror News South Wales but no we don't.

Would root anything, even a dead dog on a rusty chain.

Dryer that a nuns t!t

Thirsty enough to suck the sweat from an afghans undies

Built like a drovers dog, all pr!ck and ribs

Hungry enough to eat a <...> through a cane chair

The mechanic said "has the car lost power or what"?

I said "stuff the lizards, it wouldn't pull a greasy stick out of a dead dog's arse mate".

Another way of describing Gina from my Sydney perspective and slang when I was growing but very similar to the southern brothers would be

As ugly as a hat full of torn ar,eholes

and or
A head like a beaten favourite

All 4 match her
