The last couple of days have not been the best weather so I've decided to catch up on some trashy T.V. I've become once again a little bit addicted to Extreme make over home edition. I know what your thinking, Ty is annoying as hell, but it has me in tears every time. Sharon who lost both her arms and legs, no head and was raised by dingos, has adopted all the parentless children of the world and lives on 1 dollar a week she Needs a new house....... Maybe not that extreme but something along those lines. So they build her a WHOLE NEW HOUSE!!!!!
The other one is "the block", it seems all English speaking countries have gone home improvement mad.
Well as my bum hole healed over, I decided to get my SIM card for my telephone sorted. Chirnside Park is a shopping centre just outside of Moorloolbark... I did think for a moment I was back in the UK........Chavtastic and over weight acrilyc nail sporting house wives or Bogen as they say here. Needless to say comedy on every corner.
Which brings me to the start of my Ozzie dictionary/phrase book.
Bogen or Bogan: Neanderthal types who drive utes (car style pick ups) wear wife beaters, have shit tattoos, drink drive and generally have the accumulative brain cell of 3 gold fishes.
Greetings in Australia tend to start with "hiya how ya goin" or "how are ya" which usually renders UK and possible Swiss nationals with a confused look and a "what the fuck has it gotta do with you" in their thought pattern. Never the less I have warmed to the greeting and now reply with a "g'day mate fine ya selves"
More entries to follow...
After hours on the technical side of Telstra (OZ phone network), progress was made only because I acknowledged everyone that works for Telstra are special editions. Once sorted I took the sunshine bus back home. End result phone works!
