I thought you might be out there. What do those T-Shirts read in the Auckland Airport? I support the All Blacks and anyone playing against Australia. hee hee hee

yes good t-shirts those

do you do this..

the Aussie's who have a different intonation pattern making every sentance sound like a question.

my dh just came in looking the oven gloves... but I said I am using them honey to toast an Aussie on the barbie

before this turns into an ugly cat fight, can I just say I love both the aussie and kiwi accents, they sound very exotic to me

Exotic!!

Well Frenchgirl thats iggs ecktly wot i think

bloody oath maaayte

good aye

btw will your first book be called
Crap, Damn, Arse, Piss

catchy innit? But I might have to pay the little scottish lad royalties, so probably not!

Sounds more like Aussie talk than Kiwi

No I think for the quintessential Aussie accent u have to add, for example the e

Peick - to fill a suitcase
Peissed aside - chemical which kills insects
Peigs - for hanging out washing with

oh that's sooooo exotic

Have been away from home for 15 years now and still getting the piss taken out of my "exotic" (thank you Frenchgirl) accent. Aussiesim, thanx for the vocab lesson. My British hubby will find it invaluable for when my Mum arrives next week (she's from deepest darkest Southland!!!!)

you forgot one -
fairy = ferry
aaarrrggghhhh, DH catches the fairy on a friday so he can have beers after work!

oh and 'ehhh???' or however you would spell it everywhere - if you havn't heard, at the end of every sentence etc.

i have that t shirt!! and also do not forget
past ah
pasta
my bro says it now and the waiters look at him with such a fierce look...
LOL

I'm loath to get dragged into this one - but did have to laugh when my now Ex asked for an "ick" sandwich from a London lunchbar and was given very strange looks!! (of course he wanted egg..)
And I'm a kiwi too in case you were wondering.

ROFL and PMSL
My DS came home talking about a boy at Kindy (Kundy) called Kenny. When I asked him how Kenny was the other day he said to me, "No Mummy, not Kenny .... his name is Kinny." Aaaaaggghhhh his little Brit accent is slipping away .......

In my last school that I worked at in England we were all at a loss one term when a class of children suddenly forgot how to spell. It took us a couple of weeks to work out that they were listening too carefully to their new teacher ... a kiwi!!!!!!
