well sir, it’s been quite the effort to peruse this recent web posting. I have friends in Australia (Victoria, which thank goodness don’t bombard us with too much of your slanguage. Or we’d never be able to communicate.  I truly enjoyed this and may just keep this site, so I can send them an impressive e-mail. Of course, if they repond in kind, it will take me the rest of my life to “translate” it.
Thanks again for the entertainment.
And hey!!!  How ‘bout dem Packers!!??

Cooee bloke. Bonza of a post for the Yanks, a real bobby-dazzzler. Onya fella, grouse work.....

Looks like the Seattle game was a bit of a boilover and Alexander was a bludger for his team. Thought we had ‘gone-to-Gowings’ after Grant bodgied those two early plays but when he came back at them like a hills hoist in a willy willy, we had it in the bag.

Poor ‘ol Holmgren had a whinge at the ref but he may as well have been farnarkeling for all the good it did him.

Hope the esky is ready and the dilly bag is packed with the Jessica masks for next weeks almighty tussell against the Dallas drongos or the New York nongs.

We’ll all be Waltzing Matilda around a coolibah if we win next week because the opposition will have Buckley’s chance against us on Feb. 3 in Arizona. We’ll be London to a brick on wouldn’t ya reckon?

Cya round like a record Wayne.

ps. What’s ya favourite colour blue?

Well upack the esky and chuck out the Jessica Masks cobber. Better now break out the Anzac biccies, boil the billy and put a barra on the barbie ‘cause the New York Yowies are coming to town, lead by boofhead Manning.

Howzat ... you now get another Lambeau memory to add to your once in a life time experience. Crikey you’ve been one fortunate little vegemite haven’t you! ‘Don’t come the raw prawn’ with us on this one Wayne, you’d be fair dinkum wrapped wouldn’t you?

Go you good thing..

Catch ya round like a boomerang

Australian slang, a world unto itself. 
Out of airport, up road to hotel, walk next door to liquor store “6 pack of that stuff with the green label, pls.” “Stubbies?” “...Huh?”

’Crikey Jimmy’ Digger...... you’ve really stretched the friendship now. Fair go mate, a true blue cobber wouldn’t rub another mate’s face in a dog log by posting that photo of you and Captain Thunderpants.

Strike a light Wayno, things were bonza while you were simply the onceinalifetime fan but now that you are Brett and Deanna’s new best friend I’ll now have to consider calling it quits. I’m now a few roos short in the top paddock, all eaten up with envy.

I’ll now need a slab and a good sook before I can come back to this website.

I’ll shove off now for some shut eye. Maybe things will be better after sparrow fart .....

She’ll be right mate, hey, when at the end of the day you go down to the best best local in town which I gather is the steakhouse in Green Bay and check out the chicks or sheilas while Kell looks after the little nippers?

On ya Trace for the words of comfort… and yeah full credit to Kell too.

I’ve stopped being dirty and cheesed off. Sorry Wayno for chucking a spaz. I guess it was me that was being the larrikin.

Nearly time for the family to pull up stumps but before you do, the Pack still have some unfinished business. 

So GO PACK GOOOOOOOO against those Giant Galahs

By the way all is well in the Lucky Country ... hope all is well there too.

’Snatching Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory’

No not the album from the Aampirellas, the rocking Brisbane band formed late 1999 from the remains of Strutter.... the description of the 2 three and outs with less than 7 minutes to go.

We went from dead cert to rubbish .... from home and hosed to knackered, from bees knees to abso-bloody-lutely zonked in less than three shakes of a lamb’s tail.

What a kick in the teeth.

At least it’s been a great adventure for every Packer fan around the world....

Can YOU translate THIS???

Hey Wayno ... thought I’d chuck another post your way before you hump ya swags outta town and make tracks back downunder.

We’re enjoying the Monday of the Australia Day longweekend down here on the Murray with a 33C day. The tennis is over and the last session of the 5th day of Gillies last Test is grinding to a draw. Yes you heard right ... Gillies last test ... Holy dooley!  http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ausvind/content/current/story/333484.html

Also did ya hear that the Rhinos flogged the Rabbitohs at Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville yesterday during the Australia Day Challenge match. Ripped off…

So Cobber, as the adventure comes to an end and you pack up all those Winter things it’s time to start thinking Summer again..... so here’s a little list of ridgy-didge words to help you, Kell and the ankle biters get ready for Sydney ..... blowies and mozzies, 32 Celsius (not Fahrenheit), cossies, schooners, boogie boards, snags and dead-horse, sunnies and surfies, icey poles, esky and little kids in the nuddy in the back-yard pool. 

I’ll rack off now.. time to put a Boags into the stubby holder and fire up the barbie.

Hooroo

G’day Wayno ... bet you’ve been away with the pixies since arriving back downunder and would’ve loved to have chucked a U-e instead of being flat out like a lizard drinking getting settled back into the grind.

Well bloke at least the aerial ping-pong has started (GO SWANS) and like other NFL fans in Oz, you can at least barrack for another team during the off-season, to help take your mind off things.

Good luck with the book. Hope you, the missus and the ankle biters have a great ‘08.

as the late Croc Hunter used to say - Toodle-oo
