Dodgeman Glad to hear you fixed your Thunder Box

Hi Dodgeman,

I am glad the hear the Fluidmaster part worked out. Can’t belive you had to drive 80 miles to get it. Do you live the “outback”. only joking around.

I had to use another Aussie saying for toilet, you don’t need much imagination to see how we come up with that one, calling a toilet a Thunder Box.

This site below has some Australian – American “translations” and if you have ever heard the Aussie folk song called Waltzing Matilda and wondered what the words meant. This site explains.

What I can’t belive is how much we use these words in every day conversation. Like for example. she’ll be Apples!, go and have a Cuppa, good’o, moosh, take a Leak, ripsnorter, ridgie didge and earbash, which is what I,m doing to you now.
