I didn't know Urethane was the same as silicon.
Sikaflex make Polyurethane glues. Your local home depot should have some automotive grade polyurethane in tubes for the caulk guns.

G'Day! I am hoping someone here is bilingual. I ordered the AirFlow Snorkel. I am reading through the instructions and I need to be sure I understand the references. Under Bonnet = Under hood Blocking Plate = Plug? HSS Drill Bit = Drill bit? Zinc rich primer = Primer? Sikaflex F-11 Urethane = Silicone? Guard = Fender? I find it interesting that drill bits and hole saws are listed in French (I mean Metric) but files are in English (inches). I guess there is much our cultures can learn from each other. Thanks guys. I am doing this "on the Pat" (I heard this means alone). |

Under Bonnet = Under hood Correct (by the way, the 'hood' is the soft top of a convertible) Blocking Plate = Plug? Not sure about this one - is the reference to the plate that has to seal off the original air inlet? HSS Drill Bit = Drill bit? Drill bit made from high speed steel Zinc rich primer = Primer? Primer which contains zinc to act as a galvanised protective layer Sikaflex F-11 Urethane = Silicone? Good enough - Sikaflex is a trade name. Guard = Fender? Yup on the Pat Cockney rhyming slang - "On my Pat" short for "On my Pat Malone" = "On my own" Probably more common as "On my Jack (Jones)" files are in English (inches). Yes, well "Six inch b*st*rd" sounds so much better, doesn't it? |

"Fair suck of the sav" I said, I've just got off the dog and bone and now I want to have a Captain Cook at this news report on the idiot box about a few white pointers that were arrested down the beach today. That was it she chucked a nana and started throwing Bum Nuts at me, Crikey!! that last one got me right in the Gregory Peck. That was it, I was off down the Frog and Toad on my Pat Malone to the rubber-dee-dub quicker than a bluearsed fly. I checked in my sky rocket for some Aurther Ash, but, I had forgotten my wallet, so I almost had to shoot through, then I spotted my old mate Spud, he was a long drink of water, and he was standing there on crutches. "Whats wrong with your plates of meat?" I asked to Spud, He said he had picked up the town bike the other night and whilst they were shagging her hubby walked in on them and he had to jump out the window and bugger off with out his shoes. "Ridgey Didge?" I asked. "Too Right" said Spud. "Pigs Arse" said Bruce, "Pull your head Mate! I yelled or I'll Punch you in the scone. "You look as dry as a dead dingo's donger, I think it's Bruce's shout". "Bruce's shout!" I exclaimed "He wouldn't shout if a shark bit him". Just then Bruce turned around with a cold largey, and Spud and I lifted our glasses for a beer. "What!!!!....Is the tide out?" Spud said as Bruce turned and left. Well it's better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick" I replied "Geez, He's a wombat, but I admit he's as flash as a rat with a gold tooth, and he got hollow leg's". About an hour later I was full as a boot, "I could eat a Horse, and chase the Jockey" I slurred at Spud, "buy us a mystery bag would you?", But Spud was talking the ear off some shiela at the bar. So I said Ooroo, dropped my guts, and headed off to play the one armed bandits... |

When you guys drive on the trails, is that "off the frog and toad"? |

More usually it's "Bush Bashing", except of course that nowadays that term is environmentally insensitive. And cmohr left out "A snag (sausage) short of a BBQ" i.e someone who is mentally challenged. A lot of the examples cmohr put in are old Cockney (East End of London, England) rhyming slang which are not in common everyday use in Oz |

That's it, but like Pipeliner I prefer to go bush bashing. I think Cmohr also forgot about the good old "Dog's Eye" = meat pie. One of the blokes at my work has a dog's eye sanga. No joke, he puts his meat pie between 2 bits of bread

Use those saying here at work all the time. "Edgar" ....... It's an English name thus British, shorten to "Brit", so "Edgar Brit"..... That rhymnes with S h i t So when you hear me say " I'm feeling Edgar today" you'll understand exactly what I'm saying, and not what it sounds like

By the way, I think it's a misnomer for any American to suggest that he speaks 'English'. What Americans (and Australians) speak is a language loosely based on the language spoken in England. I mean, anyone who sees the word 'buoy' and pronounces it 'booee' instead of 'boy' cannot possibly claim to speak English! |
