He can't be a Aussie - he didn't swear once!!!!!
I was in the wet mess at a mining site in W.A. a few years ago and joined a group of about 6 blokes at their table. Every time one of them spoke it was loaded with expletives. In a lull in the conversation I asked "Why do you Australian blokes swear so much?' They seem genuinely surprised and denied that they did this.I assured them that this was so and that they probably didn't realise they were doing it.
I then said 'OK if you blokes can have a conversation for 5 minutes without anyone swearing I will buy the table a carton of beer. I bet you can't do it'. They accepted the challenge, I looked at my watch and said 'Starting now'.
21 seconds later I had won the bet. They just can't help themselves, and the women aren't much better.

I watched the video and it hurts me to say that I understood every word the guy said.  Also sad to say he comes from Brisbane which is where I was born and lived for many years. I think he is the Aussie equivalent of what the Poms refer to as a "chav".(please believe me when I say we don't all speak like him) But good on him for doing what he did, a lot of people would have pulled the doona over their head and not wanted to get involved. |

I understood every word as well.
The wife beater and tatts didnt bother me, but wheres his teeth gone.
Is that a prime example of a bogan?
Looks more redneck than chav to me.
As mentioned, well done mate.

Actually I would not be a bit surprised if he wasn't from the western suburbs, maybe even Ipswich. |

As in women on mining sites you mean? Its not an Australian thing to use so many swear words and ffs doesn't count. |

As much as I agree with what you are saying, I hope you are referring to people who work in the mining industry, and who would likely be found in the wet mess. I can assure you as much as Australians do have a "colourful" vocabulary, we are not all foul mouthed. There are some there who can last more that 21 seconds without swearing. Swearing is becoming more accepted all over the world. Look at the latest tv shows and movies, they are full of the F word now. |

See if you can pick me up a couple of rear molars and send them to me, being quoted crazy prices over here for implants. |

Years ago at work in Huddersfield, one of the plants I worked on had a small computer room cooled by AC. Someone decided the care of these should be contracted out. Any way my foreman got fed up of them sending idiots when the AC conked out. So I'm sent to see what I could learn next time someone turned up. This guy is there and "G'day mate" He said he was from Perth, the one down South, not Scotland. When I asked him how long he'd lived in Aus he said 6 months. He was from Barnsley, and knew bugger all about AC. I left him alone at that point.
