Kiwis & Aussies

=^..^=

It may come as a surprise to Europeans, but there is some sorts of a rivalry between the two "neigbouring" countries of New zealand and Australia. It is however, more like a good-humoured poke in the ribs rather than a destructive, mean, nationalistic bullshit from back home, and it makes me wish Slovenia and Croatia would stop taking themselves so goddamn seriously. Learn a little from the Kiwis and the Aussies, they have a good thing going here!

The Kiwi ad comes with my transcript, I suspect not all of my readers can understand the thick accent (lurrrve the accent though :D).



Kid1: What are you doing this weekend?
Kid2: I'm putting up a retaining wall.
Kid1: Doin' it-yourself?
Kid2: Nah, I'm going to get some bloke in.
Kid1: Oh, come on mate, do it yourself!
Kid2: She's pretty big job!
Kid1: Ah, you'll be 'right.
Kid2: You reckon?
Kid1: We can knock it over in half a day.
Kid2: Yeah?
Kid1: Get a couple of mates around. Hey, Jonesy!
Jonesy: Huh?
Kid1: Give us a hand with a job Saturday!
Jonesy: Nay, yer dreaming!
Kid2: Aussies..
Kid1: Ah, no surprises there.

UPDATE: I have read Mitre 10 is an Aussie company, which makes this ad even more awesome :) Also, does the Aussie kid say "Nay" or "Mate"? Can't tell, really...

And now the Aussie ad - gotta love the sense of humour!
