just to tell you guys that more often than not i feel welcome on this forum than any other forum related to wind/kitesurfing..there's this one forum i ask for help and is english speaking too and other forums and i feel alienated in the sense i've been asking a few questions for technical help and not a single soul replies..maybe it's just the wrond kinda thread for their liking but nevertheless just a quick short reply would suffice..what do you think is wrong with them?!?more powerful winds to you "blokes" and what's the term for the ladies???

jp we call the ladies sheilas, greeny he needs to learn our language so let him!

well blokies and sheilas are , greeny's? i can take a beating from him nada a problem..my pizza's soggy anyways by the time i finish eating one..understood mineral1 and big gill, come here we look for a few uninhabited islands, like the cuyo islands windy as hell as i was told and a 5km. lagoon as i can afford to bring you(including greeny), if am there in the land of oz i'm gonna try catch those famous baramundi...

JP,

A favourite aussie past time is to "take the piss" out of our mates, by insulting or joking with them. The aim, more often than not, is to provoke a reaction to your insult or joke, out of your mates. The best defence against piss pulling is to have a thick skin (ignore the insult)and to return the insult with interest. Usually, the process then continues until one party "bites" anhd actually takes offence and then the other party laughs hard (indicating they were piss pulling and not serious).

The better mates you are, the worse you can take the piss out of them.

View greenies post as a post "taking the piss" out of a mate.

Unfortunately, sometime these aussie cultural quirky things don't cross the cultural divide well.

Also Hope this helps with your understanding of the Aussie slang

the "ladies' are refered to by various terms depending on the type of lady and the circumstances surrounding the encounter. eg. stunna, bush pig, moisty, sir, etc etc.

It all depends on how you look at JP's banana groping tendencies

Tazmania wish they had barramundi!!! You will find most of the barramundi in the northern parts

It's funny that it's usually Banana Benders that call us Victorians Mexicans. Really goes to show the level of ignorance unless they think of themselves as Canadians. Mexico is of course only one border south of the US of A.
