Let's add our country to our profile!

[Lebowski]

looking at your locations, all of a sudden I understand this forums fixation on 'more power !'

[Ypedal]

Very good idea imo !..

[bigmoose]

In answer to your questions BigMoose. "Bob's your uncle" means, "There you go, all done!", as in "you just connect up the wires and Bob's your uncle!". A "piece of piss" means "very easy", as in "All you have to do is connect up the wires and Bob's your uncle! It's a piece of piss to do".

I am rolling on the floor with the best laugh of the day! Tell me, without this thread, what were my odds of ever finding that out? I had absolutely no clue on "Bob's your uncle" it might as well have been written in Martian Script... and "piece of piss" I would have guessed the exact opposite! What a hoot!! Thanks for the education!

PS: All you other guys, take 20 seconds and think of adding the info to your profile. If you don't know how to do it, amberwolf will do a tutorial for you.

common in canuckistan that " Bob's your uncle " .. i knew it well.. the Piss one is certainly aussie type stuff...

Since I was volunteered, and was already considering doing it anyway, here's how to change your location so it shows up in your profile:

Click here:
ucp.php?i=164
then look over in the Edit Profile area where it has several text-entry boxes. The seventh one down should be Location:.

Click in the text entry box to the right of "Location:", and type in what you want there (starting with country and going down as specific/local as you are willing to go is best).

At the bottom of that section is a button for Submit; click that, and you are done.

I agree 100% - .

?? ..but where are you ?
and just incase some folk dont know where Sydney is... i will add Australia to mine !

I agree USA would be nice on mine , but I mostly am talking about people who list NOTHING. I don't mind
doing a bit of research to find out where a city / state or whatever is listed.. When people have nothing
though it makes the research that much harder.

[dogman]

Could be worse, like just listing Springfield as the city in the USA. Could be in any state. For recomending vendors, just knowing what continent is generally good enough.

What really bugs me is a guy selling something that doesn't list what continent he'd be shipping from.

Re mo power. Yeah, lot of yanks in the too much power club. We just want all the money, all the oil, all the fast cars, all the drugs, and all the pussy. Oh, and I forgot, we also want the 10,000 square foot house.

[NeilP]

re done with more detail

[thewmatusmoloki]

Ha, sorry about that Moose.

Years ago I used to work on a cruise ship out of Hong Kong with a bunch of chinese guys, they were always telling me that they'd understand me a lot easier
if I didn't speak so much aussie slang. But I was hardly using any at all, (I think ).
So just for a bit of fun I steadily increased my use of auslang in conversation to the point where I'd be talking and they would just cock their heads to one side
with this wild-eyed look on their face.

I guess I just got used to doing it and it sort of stuck with me.
I don't have to use those phrases but it's kinda fun, and generally unique to the country that one is from.

Bob's yer uncle = TicketyBoo = She'll be apples mate.
Piece of piss = TooEasy = No worries.

common in canuckistan that " Bob's your uncle " .. i knew it well...

Dead Set? I didn't know that.

For anyone else that is confused by aussie strine, here is a good reference page... http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html

Thats all for now, onward to my next adventure or oo-roo, as some might say.

bigmoose,
Just be thankful the hoon's are typing and not speaking, or none of us would understand 10%. I once asked a fellow passenger (who was a kiwi) what the PA announcer was saying? He replied "I have no idea, that bastard's an Aussie, they can't even understand each other."

[jonescg]

Perth, Western Australia is probably self explanatory, but Western Australians truly think they are another country Aren't they KiM?

[Joseph C.]

I already had my city, state, and country in there, but I've made it a little more specific for those far travellers out there.

I bet every civilisation would imagine their group/bubble as being local.

[Arlo1]

Were you at der by = Where are you?
Were you to der by = Where are you heading?

[Joseph C.]

Is that phonetic or literal?

Something you learn everyday the Canadian/Yorkshire/West Country nexus of impenetrable accents...

To add our own. This should be just about decipherable. For other Irish counties - it is best just to nod the affirmative and pretend to understand.

State added...
Oddly enough people hardly pay attention to the country in my profile.

I would like to see option for people to post their age...

I been on forum that do that,

oops...
i see it now...

but I meant under the avatar instead of having to click on their profile...

[SamTexas]

but I meant under the avatar instead of having to click on their profile...

Good idea. It's not available now, but we can make it part of the location. I just did it.

[amberwolf]

Something else that needs to be done, at board-level iwth the forum software itself, is to add the ability to sort members by location, and to search text-field-wise in the location section, and to display the location in a member search/list.

None of thsoe is possible now, but all would help a lot when trying to find someone near you to help out.

[nieles]

maybe add some sort of usergroups based on location?
