I'm back

10 days of perfect weather, good work finbar, sorry about the voodoo on your cards.

3 days of golf and drinking have left me a little worse for wear and a lot light in the wallet.

I did win the golf despite only having 2 hours sleep a night so I guess sleep is over rated.

And he's back early. All that guff about fine weather and happy drinking and happy golf is obviously all bullsh*t. It probably bucketed down rain, his liver packed it in after 2 days, and he sat on his niblick.

We don't live in each other's pockets.

And Makeo likes his early nights. All that whizzing around on skis and skateboards takes it out of you.

Didn't I see a bunch of people getting clubbed by the police in Sydney? Maybe he was one of those unfortunate counter-culture types on May Day.

Yeah, probably just a bunch of bludgers from the back blocks, feeling niggly and looking to start up a barnie. They all got a thick ear, eh?

Should have just had a few tinnies and veged out.

Not a bad attempt, Sneak, but it has a touch of the contriveds about it.

Apart from that - "back blocks" doesn't really crack a guernsey in the venacular; "niggly" certainly doesn't; "barnie" does, but it's spelled "barney", and "stink" is probably a better choice anyway; and "thick ear" is used more as a perjorative - as in, "talk about a thick-ear", meaning someone of not only low IQ, but anti-intellectual. And "tinnies" is hardly ever used, except by "thick ears". "Veged out" - well, it's acceptable.

My favourites, as I think I've posted before, are the old rural expressions - "Windy enough to blow a dog off its chain" and "So hungry I could eat a horse and chase the rider".

Of course if he used "niggling feeling" instead of "feeling niggly" it would have been much improved

As in, we've got a "niggling feeling" SuperSneak's bitten off more than he can chew?

I couldn't begin to write like an American - I like to use longer words for a start. And spell them correctly.

Yo, peep this: You guys are cut off! I try to be down with your little lingo and you hate on me. Your wack slang isn't half as fierce as the American version. Y'all need to slam your pie holes and quit your perma-fried ways. I'm going to go postal here in a second. You need to be giving me my props for even trying, not putting the beat down on me. You know I'm the bomb--hella best friend you have here, bar none. But here you are, treating me like a tool and I'm all torn down about it. You know how I get when I'm torqued--don't be telling me my slang is weak--you've got me all watered now. The next sound outta your word-hole better be "kick-ass try, Sneak". In the meantime, I'm just going to do my 9 to 5 and keep it real.
Peace out!

Based on the post immediately above this one, I can only wholeheartedly endorse Horse's earlier comment.

Mmmm. A Canadian muscles his way into the feeding frenzy. Oh well, I suppose he's a fellow of the Commonwealth.

Was Sneak trying to affect an African American style?

Pretty fly for a white guy
