\nI am the Champion, my friend
\nand I’ll go on fighting to the enddddddd!
\n[\/sings]<\/p>\n
I have just finished a meeting where two of the five of us were playing meeting bingo.<\/p>\n
The aim, if you don’t know the rules, is to agree a common objective with some – but not all – of the meeting participants beforehand, and then try and achieve that objective with none of the people who aren’t ‘in the know’ getting wise to a game being played.<\/p>\n
Today’s objective was to slip as many Australian colloquialisms in to the meeting.<\/p>\n
The meeting ended with the score at:<\/p>\n
Me: 6
\nHim: 4<\/p>\n
Although when he attempted to squeeze ‘seaweed muncher’ in I nearly called a foul because it wasn’t in context.<\/p>\n
For the record…<\/p>\n
Me: visit the dunny; she’ll be right; a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock; chuck a spaz; dag; bouncer (yeah, I know the last one is a former character in Neighbours but I was on a roll – and was working at squeezing in Ute and Mangle before the meeting ended!)<\/p>\n
Him: as dry as a nun’s nasty, seaweed muncher, freckle, bush telly.<\/p>\n
Championnnnnnn!!<\/p>\n
