* You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o:
arvo, combo, garbo, kero, lezzo, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto, goodo etc.
* You know that there is a universal place called "woop woop" located in the middle of nowhere...no matter where you actually are.

Buggered if I could make head nor tail outa what he was waffling about, if they cant talk proper english like what i does, they should at least talk slower and gimme a chance to suss it out. I reckon me old cattle dog Rusty would make a better go of it. Give him a couple bullets worth of roo a week to keep him happy, and Bobs your Uncle problem solvered boss.
