Thanks for the welcome mates

G'day bloke, how's it goin'?

May I give you a big Aussie welcome! There are quite a few of us floating around on SBG so welcome to the family.

I'm from Geelong myself, but work mostly in the western suburbs!

Feel free to just jump into the conversations, everyone on here are a top bunch of blokes

G'Day Beardman,

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am from the Northern Suburbs, South Morang.

Cheers

You're most welcome mate, you guys recently got the trains out your way. That's about the extent of the knowledge I have on your neck of the woods unfortunately.

As someone else said there are quite a few Aussies on the board.  I'm  from Canberra.
 Greetings tto this awesome forum.

[OzSly]

Yes Beardman,
We recently got trains so that's good. I am a Cats fan, use to be a long time member, use to travel there regularly.

Thanks for the welcome Nuts, much appreciated mate 

[Beardman]

Oh that's pretty cool, I'm not a Geelong fan in the slightest. I've actually gone off AFL a fair bit over the past few years, but I've never been into Aussie Rules anyway so that's not much of a shock for anyone that knows me. I still keep up enough to get involved at conversations at work, but that is easy enough, I just have to listen to triple M hahaha!

I am a Port supporter at heart though, even though I don't actively follow any team anymore.

I'm looking forward to getting into the cricket this year though with the big bash and the aussies looking like they might be remotely competitive this summer it should be good viewing

Welcome Ozsly. Great to have you on Board.

You sly guys from Australia are all awesome. I love reading your posts.

We sure enjoyed our trip over there in 2009. I hope to return again someday, God willing.
God Bless you all!  Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day Holiday.

[OzSly]

Beardman, the cricket this summer should be pretty good with the South Africans.
The big bash is always fun to watch.

Thanks for the welcome baldjoeg, great to hear you enjoyed your trip down under in 2009.
We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Oz but wish we had the holiday though  Then again we do get a day off for a horse race (The Melbourne Cup). Enjoy your Thanksgiving Baldjoeg mate

Welcome from a brother across the ditch!

G'Day Slyfive,

Thanks for the welcome mate.

G'Day Slyfive,
Thanks for the welcome mate.

I think a suitable response on my part would be 'no worries, mate'

but I can't really claim that's just an Aussie thing, I say it all the time.

[OzSly]

Crikey Slyfive!!! You sounded like a real Aussie there mate

[Beardman]

G'Day Slyfive,
Thanks for the welcome mate.

That reminds me of my old boss, he was a scottish guy, he'd only been in Australia for a couple fo years before I worked for him, and he was obsessed with the way we speak, hearing him trying to put on an Aussie accent with such a thick scottish accent was the funniest thing ever!

You are right though, it's not just an Aussie thing.
