Where the bloody hell are you?

You may have heard about the recent Australian tourism ad campaign that was initially banned in the UK for using "bloody hell", well an Australian comedy writer has come up with this classic spoof of that ad:




He was then threatened with legal action from Tourism Australia (showing just how "easygoing" they are) and his ad was banned.

No special plans for this Easter weekend. Japan never had a place in its heart for Easter so it's good to be back in a country that has the presence (and presents) of the bunny.

The F word

Being an Aussie living in London and having to put with the usual jibes about not speaking "Queen's English", I think I'm well within my rights to have a good old whinge this week about the F word.

London is the capital of England and the hub of all things British, including language and culture, right? Well why is it that so many Londoners from all walks of life, pronounce 'th' words as 'f'. I fink if you had somefink like this frown (thrown) at you free times a day, you'd know what I'm getting at.

And the absolute worst thing about all this is that, you guessed it, I fink I'm starting to do the same fing myself! Ahhh! F!



Cute or what!



"Don't get too used to this, punk"
