Thanks Jack, that has actually worked & yes I was probably given that instruction earlier but I managed to confuse myself  ( easily done ) with all the different instructions, anyway I have finally managed to master the task so thank you for all your help & patience.

Now you have to take the advice of a wise man:

Just a word of warning, if you are anything like me, make sure that you use " your new found power " regularly, otherwise within a few months you will have forgotten how to do it.

P.S. do you really think having a little tipple reduces your ability to communicate?

I'm too " pissed " to answer that.

I couldn't care less because you're both making me roar with laughter!
 

Well, no laughter today, Pen, we’re into the serious business of cross-cultural language translation.

Lesson 2

High Class Aussie Lady

Lesson 3


Message From Australia:

A Darwin fellow roaming the Red Centre with a beaut of a barbie on the ali tray of his fair dinkum ute was looking for some hard yakka because there was no sit-down money for the pokies.  But it was a daggy deal as he hit the Bundy instead and ended up chundering in the dunny.

Above Message As Reported By British Dispatches

A person named Darwin with companions the fair skinned Barbara Dinkum ute and Ali Tray were travelling through the center of China looking for some hard egg-yokes because of financial constraints and a lack of pigs.  But something went wrong after a fight with someone called Bundy in a town called Chanderin-Dunni.

Tomorrow: How to translate New Zealand speak

and then we might get back to making you laugh.

Sorry Jack you failed miserably - still laughing!  Bloody hilarious!
I very much look forward to How To Translate New Zealand Speak tomorrow (today possibly?)
If it's anything like Aussie speak then I will obviously be even more baffled

Thanks Anonsi
I'll give it a whirl when I next post a link.  If Les can master it with the aid of a drink or 3 then hopefully I can manage it when stone cold sober!!

[Hobbit]

Pen, you really must try to make more of an effort to keep up.

Sorry Les I'll try a bit harder in future
Too busy laughing at (or maybe that should say with) you & Jack to concentrate!
Bit like my reports when I was at school. Must pay more attention!

" Pompous old git " , what do you reckon?, I don't think so but definitely funny old bastard.
Like you, i'm still laughing at the English translation & can't wait for the Kiwi version. ( brace yourself grommit ).

[Les303]

Pen, I grew up watching a TV show called " Young Talent Time ".
It was hosted by Johnny Young & as the name suggests it had kids from about 7 to 15 years old singing popular songs.
Many of the performers (Kylie & Dannie Minogue to name just a couple ) went on to have fabulous careers & are renowned world wide but the one that i fell in love with was Tina Arina.
This all leads me to an excuse to practise my new found embedding skill, hope you like the song.

Bugger, that obviously didn't work, it actually disappeared altogether ?

Today: How to translate New Zealand speak

There are two issues to understanding New Zealanders when they speak to you in their local vernacular: their use of idiosyncratic language (slang); and the way they pronounce what they say.  The slang is a lot easier for Australians than many others to understand because the vast majority of the slang is the same or close to Australian usage.  The main exception is where the slang comes from the Maori Language.  The pronunciation issue is caricatured and if it exists at all any more is mainly restricted to people of a certain age.  In all countries subjected to the same American and British television, regional differences are tending to diminish.

I found a good source to teach the words.  The presenter introduces and explains 110 slang words or expressions in 5 minutes on each video.  She uses a few words I wouldn’t use in front of the Vicar, so if you are sensitive in this regard, you might want to be ready to put your fingers in your ears even if you have to extract them from elsewhere.  I think you will find them mildly amusing but more informative than rib-tickling. Also on my machine an annoying ad came up and obscured the sub-titles. A quick click on the little x box got rid of it.

New Zillund Speak

These three may not be as realistic as they once were, but I think you will find them amusing.  

In the first one the first minute about Australia  is crap, it is the finish you will like.

The Algorithm for converting to New Zillund Speak


What helped me to understand New Zealand (Zillund) speak in the second and third items, was to read each item out loud:

The NZ Accent Alphabet

There are a few items that were in the Alphabet.

Bloody Bewdy, Les, Congratulations.  Let's hope it's catching.

I couldn't possibly guess!  Probably some pompous old Git.
