Guest guest36762 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Well Bundy tastes better than any other dark rum I have tasted including that abomination called Captain Morgan.which of course is made by the same company,probably the only thing wrong with Bundy is that it's not Australian owned anymore,being owned,as it is by Diageo which I think also owns Guinness.

Jo_uktooz Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Has the venerable Nige been brainwashing you? Nope,my own views,the fact that we tend to agree with each other on many subjects is a testament to how well matched we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chris955 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Why is it wrong that it's owned by the British ?

boganbear Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I got told off for mispronouncing Elgin St. Apparently it is El Gin St. To which i replied well you better tell that to the people who live in the town of Elgin in Scotland. The most stupid aussie name I've found is Lube Mobile. I'm tempted to phone them and ask them to send someone round with a tube of KY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful what you ask for, you might get your lube personally delivered AND installed by a big brute called Lachlan, or Braydon. :biglaugh: Australians do have a tendancy to mispronounce things. I presume its a result of being cut off. 'Wimbleton' is a tennis tournament in London, Peugot is 'PEWJO', mercedes is 'MERSEEDEES', so I'd guess that Porsche would 'PORCH' My own in-laws all say 'supposably' and my FIL loves the term 'irregardless', and eats 'PISA'. A local favourite round here is 'Arksk' for 'ask'..its actually near impossible to pronounce. thanks for reviving the thread BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest itskaren Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Everything is "o" Bottlo, Servo, Posto, Arvo, Fisho, Rego, and another thing I find amusing is when something is quoted As "blank" As! Like As safe as! :wacko: I was looking at flannette shirts for my kids. Some teenagers were also looking and said 'I've got a nice flannie at home' I am assumming they are talking about the shirts ..:err: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people like Bundy,others don't personally I do,so does Jo_uktooz (my GF), I'm not sure about the origins of "Esky" all I know is that it's a registered brand name that is now used as a generic term for all cooler boxes even if they aren't necessarily made by the "Esky" company,Nylex who have sadly gone into liquidation after many decades in Australia.
