Did I say "bloody"?

Ooops... did I say bloody in my last post? That's it. UK is going ban my blog. My world conquering blog is going to bite the dust even before it had its first visitor.

If you are wondering what I am ranting about have a look at the new travel campaign by Australian Tourist Board, UK banning it.

For the uninitiated, some of the mild swear words are in fact part of the Aussie lingo and are not considered rude at all. It’s quite normal for a person to greet a long lost friend with a “Where the bloody hell have you been?” After all, we are talking about a country where one of the popular and award winning ad is….. a dog saying “bugger”. On my way home from work I just saw an ad on the back of a bus screaming “Bugger the gym in Broome” Just wondering what that ad was about.

So, we all were sitting here wondering “what the bloody hell is all this fuss about?” but after pondering on it for a while (maybe 5 seconds) we decided “Bugger them!!!” and went and grabbed a beer and turned the tele on to watch the cricket.
