Fair Dinkum!
Jul 28^th, 2010 at 4:34pm

Is anyone keeping count of how many times Tony and Julia say "Fair Dinkum"?
I think Tony is way out in front when it comes to uttering this out dated Australianism but Julia is no slouch when it comes to idiot slogans and phrases as well. I cringe everytime one of these low grade phoneys tries to pretend to be a typical average Aussie from the 1930's.
I'll make a deal with Labor and the Coalition, the party that keeps the phrase "Fair Dinkum" to under 100 from now until the election will get my vote otherwise my vote goes to the Greens

Oops, they have probably gone past that number while Ive been typing

Abbott can get away with 'fair dinkum' as he is a knockabout bloke, and i'd rather hear him say it 1000 times than hear Rudd pretend to be ocka with ' fair shake of the sauce bottle mate', that was PATHETIC.

Vegetable my point is YOU are the one making the claim, yet we haven’t seen you post a credible link to back it up. Understand now?

=====================

Look. I don't understand what your getting at. What 'claim"!
Yet you accuse me of having bad English.

Yes, I admit , I may drop the plural 's ' or the 'ing' at the end of a word whilst commenting . Yes My spelling isn't the best. But boy , if you can't work around that ...??

Actually it shows me that you pick at the little easy things to avoid answering the bigger harder issues in many of the more serious topics. So be it....

I'm sure you will find a mistake in this reply also...go for it !
I actually don’t care. Bigger issues in life mate .

so what claim am I supposed to 'backing up' ? Surely you may not understand my reply anyway , so why ask !

Is it 'Abbott’s speech therapy' idea, ha, if so I don’t think I need to back that up. I say it's pretty obviously that both leaders have had it...
