aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi

Hey Jolibee,

I told my US fiance that he is an ameristralian now and therefore must celebrate Australia Day . I said he could have the day off (that will go down well in the military NOT ), and to cook prawns on the Barby, no shrimp allowed, oh and drink aussie beer!

The only other one we've been able to find here is a beer from Tassie- Cooper's. It's ok. Stewart will drink it when we go to outback.

I don't know what we're going to do, but I want to make it special for Stewart since he's away from home.

wow, i didnt know you could get coopers here- at the outback? i must have a look around. My husband is also converted aussie in some ways. he gets the slang and uses it on me, which is heaps good. I am happy that he is supportive on special days like this. hey Girlfromoz- what branch of service your boy in? Mine is a marine.

Awesome Caroline, I didn't know you could get Coopers at Outback either, I will let my fiance know to try it.

Hey Jolibee, my fiance is in the Army so we will be based in Colorado. I think he will be deploying to Iraq again later this year. Is your hubby with you or deployed?

I have been teaching my man the slang also...he doesn't get the saying 'flat out like a lizard drinking' and when he says G'day and it sounds so funny. I told him I had a bingle in the boot of my car and he said 'what ?' so I had to explain that it's a dent in the trunk! We have some very funny conversations about the differences in our language.

hi ya

one christmas at work i found we were selling aussie flag lights...so as i have done before i will be hanging them on the balcony and inside and putting out the aussie flag on australia day....

might make some meat pies and have them for tea along with a pav...used my last magic pav at chrissy so will have to make this one from scratch

robbie is very aussie there aint much slang that comes out of my mouth that he dont know now..but it still sounds funny when he tries to say some words...he even goes to work talking like an aussie lol

at the moment im enjoying the australian open...being from melbourne im so enjoying seeing the sites of melbourne .... its such a great looking city...robbie sez while watching..been there.. been there...lol hes funny...

wish there were some aussies in the neighbourhood...miss the aussie accent...it sounds so different now that i have been away from it ....

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY WHEN IT COMES AROUND

Hey Girlfrmoz,
aaack on deployments. Well we are lucky for 1.5 - 2 years as we got hooked up on him teaching in the ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps)program( the amry has one also) so he is based at the University of South Florida. he is prior Drill instructor so hence he was qualified to get this job. We wanted to be together where he was safe for the first years of marriage and we have been blessed!( he has 2 deployments to iraq since we have been together- ouch) however his promotion should hit probably in 1.5years time and its likely a deployment would hit but until then he is safe and we will enjoy every minute sorry your boy might be going at the end of the year. The army go for 1 year yeah? will u go home for that? During the summer here i will head home for 3-4 mths while my boy will be training the marines in bootcamp! so i cant wait to be home!!
Thats so funny you using thos saying to him, i actually forget slang sayings. its just words i am soo use too. But i know when i am home i just slip back into the normal routine of slang pharses! everyday there is always a new word i come out and we have the language barrier for like 5 secs and then we laugh.

happpy aussie day guys!!!
