Hi Hazel,
An ocker is an archetypal uncultivated Australian working male who may or may not be boorish, uncouth, and chauvinistic. An ocker does not necessarily have to be larrikin and vice versa.

Don't ask what larrikin means........lol

Now I know what you're thinking "Koalas are not dangerous and in fact cute and friendly" So let me tell you this....
My Uncle and his family went over to Oz to see his brother who had emigrated some years ago. Whilst there they rented a car and set about seeing some of the sites and landmarks. Unfortunately their vehicle suffered mechanical problems and they were forced to hike to the nearest town which was some distance away. By this time the sun was going down but with no other alternatives and the thought of spending a night in the car they continued onwards. Now then..... They came across a eucalyptus plantation that had a narrow man made path running through it. They took a collective decision to stray from the road and head down the path in the hope it would lead to a house or farm where they could call a garage from. Apparently the first signs that something was seriously wrong was when the path disappeared beneath their feet and the howling started. All of a sudden they were set upon by about 40 Koala Bears who seemed highly intoxicated and ferociously aggressive. My Uncle was beaten to within an inch of his life whilst his wife was taken by the bears into the woods and sexually abused. For some reason which is yet to be explained, the eldest child was not touched However... The youngest was taken and forced to live with the bears as a bear.
The authorities refused to believe my uncle and his wife's story and even accused them of foul play! It was only when a young girl was spotted by some adventurist's sitting high in the trees chewing leaves did they take action. My uncle's daughter was later tracked down by the authorities and returned to her family, although it did take a further 2 months to do so.
All in all it was a terrible ordeal and one that will live with them for the rest of their lives!!!!!

Hi Oddball,
Am I a manic depressive???.......lol........I think not!
I just thought I would jazz up the post as the normal questions/posts like "Do you prefer French onions or Spanish onions" or "Do you miss cornflakes" are pretty brain numbing.....lol..........and could probably cause Bipolar if reading enough of them!

Take my last post....Should I sleep with my sisters wife? you wouldn't Adam & Eve the replies........lol

p.s. you called ODDBALL??.....................LOL

Hey Ricardo blue!
I don't know what you do for a living !! but I'd seriously consider a career in comedy sketches!!
Keep up the good work and ingnore that yank character with the very original name newtoOz!!..................Boring T**t!!
He think's he's funny and educated,.....spent to much time with the bears!! STAY AMERICAN! STAY AMERICAN! what's that all about ya W****R

NewtoOZ hasn't said anything to invoke insults. I'm an American in England and the banter is almost non-stop between my English friends and myself. What's the fun of moving to another country if you can't make fun of yourself and the natives? I married an Englishman and he wouldn't recognise me if I didn't laugh at his pronunciations at least once a day.

I've had no complaints about NewtoOz. Seems nice enough to me. And for the most part, I consider this a friendly forum. It would be cool if it stayed that way.
