(Put an 'n' on that title)

There was a near fatal road crash where a 17yr old 'P' driver nearly rolled her car off a 16m ridge. She was stoped by a barbed wire fence and a steel picket.

Her fathers only quote, after his daughter just looked death in the face; "it is a bugger of a stretch"

[cool-bananas]

i didnt hear about that crash but oh man what a quote...that really is so Australian!

[ivan]

It is a bugger of a stretch... I don't get it.

[Hazmat]

I get it but it's hard to explain it. :D

[ivan]

Is it something about her getting lucky and almost dying, but not quite?

[cool-bananas]

no it means 'that stretch of road is a bugger' bugger being like a bitch or yeah etc

it just means that stretch of road is crap

[ivan]

Hmm, that's all?

We're not impressed.

it's just funny because his daughter nearly died and all he thought was the most important thing o comment on was its a bugger of a stetch. if you were australian, you'd get it.

[ivan]

One day I'll move to Australia and then I'll understand. I promise.

[burjzyntski]

I get it and I'm not australian :D

[ivan]

When you do, i'll show you around sydney. Yes. :D

Thank you, man.

I'm seriously planning on it in the future. Either Australia or New Zealand. But, seeing as many of my plans come to naught, I don't know if it'll happen.

[burjzyntski]

Do it. Go there. Oz/NZ are beautiful countries - the most beautiful I've ever been to. I can't wait to go back.

I'm sure Cyprus has some really cool sights/views too, though. I'd love to live on a little island in the mediterranean...

Maybe you and Ivan should come to Oz, that way i can show you both around Sydney. :D When you say little island. Do you mean Malta or something like that??? :confused:

[ivan]

Cyprus is great, but if I stay here I've got no future in Physics.

And it just gets kinda boring after a while. It's also stinking hot in the summer and I kinda want to live in an English-speaking country.

Well when you do eventually come down here to Sydney. Let me know prior to you leaving Cyprus. ok :D :D

[ivan]

No probs.

[tobbogonist]

Tis' a bugger of a dilemma

[ivan]

Why is that?

[burjzyntski]

Sydney was really cool. I sort of etched my name into a rail by the opera house, so I'm hoping to find that whenever I go back. What is the dominant language of Cyprus?

Tasmania would be nice to visit too...

[ivan]

The two main languages in Cyprus are Greek and Turkish, Greeks is the language on our(southern) side. A lot of people also speak English as their second language.
