    Lorry is truck..
    Tube was only used for "The London Underground"... although other subways are now often called tubes because of familiarity with this one.
    Beer and lemonade is a Shandy!
    "!" means "Damn!" (as well as testicles)

    Hmmm not to be a wet towel, the kind everyone but a Pommie uses LOL, but isn't it lorrie for cart and shandy for the beer/lemonade drink?

    Oh you beat me to it! LOLOLOL

    The only reason I know about lorry is the line in the Neil Young song about them rolling by with a cold wind whipping LOL

    A very quick lesson in Polish for everyone... Anyone wishing to comment on my above post can simply reply by saying "Dziekuje niemy dupa." Literal translation, "Thank you dumb a$$." :D

    Probably about the same as "Sod off." Either way, it probably isn't good. :)

    I just feel compelled to point out that All heart's "won't make it to may" comment literally made me laugh out loud. Anyway, I have a question, do you guy's, aussies, english, and the other ones sharing the island with you, get American T.V. I am positive you do about the big stuff, american idol, survivor, all that crap. But how about American Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey(thank you canada)? I know you get YOUR football(soccer), but how about our sports I guess. Mainly due to Soccer is the ugly step cousin of American Sports. And I want to know what influence American Sports has on certain society's outside of this country.

    You could just as easily say that American Football is the bastard son of Rugby. It all depends on which side of the pond you live on. :)

    Just out of interest America DIDN'T invent everything, sorry to burst your bubble ;)

    K... we have some awful misinterpretation going on right now... lol. IN MY COUNTRY, the saying ugly step sister doesn't make a reference to relation or descendence, but just how much one is disliked. I was merely stating that in America, soccer is the least favorite. Not the origins of it. I wasn't make a joke on your behalf. I already know about rugby and that stuff, I was just asking whether American Sports influenced your community. You didn't need to get all wanker on me and try and sod me off. Lol. I also know we didn't invent everything... But WHO WON THE WAR! THAT'S RIGHT THAT'S RIGHT! BRING IT ON CURLY MAN! Your going down like your ancestors...
