That is also what I predict will need doing....it's probably gunked up. But my next prediction is that Eddo will find it a bit fiddly and parts will go sproing.

But it's fuel injection...... I think.

No no, the more tech talk the better. As long as it's in very, very simplistic terms.

stumpy, bld and the chimp: that's the yank, the bogan* and the ....err, afro-chimp, triggered yet again as the usual suspects, all brits btw, run rings around them.



* Bogan is an Australian and New Zealand slang term, often used to describe a person whose speech, clothing, attitude, and behaviour are considered unrefined or unsophisticated. It can be used in a pejorative or self-deprecating way, and is frequently associated with working-class culture.

So, a sort of chav. In pommy speak

both belong on the lower rungs of the ladder of human dross, but your comparison is quite accurate.

not bad for a bogan! so well done there.

Australian bogans and British chavs are both cultural stereotypes, but they emerge from different contexts and have distinct characteristics. Here’s a comparison:

Australian Bogans

Definition: A bogan is typically characterized as someone from a lower socio-economic background who displays a certain lack of sophistication or refinement. The term can be used endearingly or pejoratively.

Appearance: Bogans are often associated with casual, sometimes scruffy clothing, such as track pants, singlets, and thongs (flip-flops). They might also have tattoos and wear baseball caps.

Behavior: Bogans are often depicted as loud, boisterous, and fond of drinking beer, particularly at barbecues or sporting events. They may have a strong connection to Australian culture, including a love for sports like AFL or rugby.

Language: They may use slang and colloquial language that reflects their working-class roots. Phrases like "mate" and "no worries" are common.

Cultural Context: Bogans are often associated with rural or suburban areas, and the stereotype includes a certain pride in Australian identity, sometimes with a penchant for "Aussie" humour.


British Chavs

Definition: A chav is a stereotype in the UK referring to a person, often from a working-class background, who is seen as lacking in taste, education, or manners. The term is generally more derogatory than "bogan."

Appearance: Chavs are typically associated with specific fashion choices, such as tracksuits (often branded), baseball caps, and flashy jewellery. They may also wear designer labels that are considered lowbrow.

Behavior: Chavs are often portrayed as anti-social, with behaviours that include public drinking, rowdiness, and a lack of respect for social norms. The stereotype often includes a love for reality TV and certain types of music, like grime or hip-hop.

Language: Chavs may use a distinctive slang that can include cockney rhyming slang and other informal speech patterns. Their communication style may be seen as aggressive or confrontational.

Cultural Context: The chav stereotype is often linked to urban areas, particularly in England, and reflects broader socio-economic issues, including class division and youth culture.


Conclusion

While both bogans and chavs represent working-class stereotypes in their respective countries, they differ in cultural context, appearance, behaviour, and language. The terms reflect social attitudes and economic conditions that are unique to Australia and the UK, respectively.

He's as sharp as a bowling ball sadly. Pithy? Not really. He prefers thinly disguised attacks on your family. Terse perhaps . Pejorative remarks?.He's not bright enought to be described as pithy. That's why he only has to teach wee kids. Not a proppa ajarn.innit.

I've said this before BLD, but teaching ankle biters is the hardest of all. Rather him than me.

Maybe in armos case it helps to have a really dry sense of humour ? Do kids relate to that?

Colouring in sheets are not rocket science
