Well we had a bit of an issue just recently with kids and slingshots , we put on a bit of a do at our house in Tugas , and invited our neighbours as usual , we even had an American guy named "Shawn" and his lovely wife attend , all up I suppose over 100 people , at the start of the evening , maybe 6 o"çlock , it started raining rocks , one of which was a direct hit on the windscreen of our Mitsubishi fieldmaster , and naturally enough since a few miles has been added the crack has spread , do any of the forum members know where we will be able to get the windscreen replaced without the applicable skin tax , any suggestions appreciated. couple of pics of the crime scene View attachment 11120 View attachment 11119 Tony
I'm pretty sure the shop across the street from Hypermart does windshields (btw, that's proper name for it ). They have always given me fair prices on body work.
Windshield on a bike, windscreen on a car, at least it is for us who normally drive on the correct left side of the road hehe.
Speak for yourself mate! :P Mine were immigrants from Germany and good ol Pommyland! And it has been Windscreen since I was Panel Beating and working on Cars since the 70's but who knows with the Yanks sneaking in ruining the English Language anything is possible... :D hehe
This is a nice video for non-native English speakers (such as Australians). Part 1: [video=youtube;Ss-rQyQfAUI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss-rQyQfAUI[/video] There is a part 2 that is strongly advised for those of you Australians that come from, what you call in your native savage tongue, the "Outback". O--O
I am betting that's how they got their confessions at Guantanamo , locked in a room with that video playing , total submission would occur pretty quick O--O
Egads Tony I think you might be onto something there my good Sir... ^_^ Thanks Wrye I have download ALL FIVE in that series along with another Five in the "Audiobook Word SMart Building a more Educated Vocabulary" series by the same person.

When I sailed into Northern Australia, several people commented on my American accent, I just told them I didn't have one, I'm just an arrogant American.
I was at a aussie friends home in Roxas City-Capiz..talking to his pinoy father in law when my friend entered he was surprised. Said he is talking to you? ..His father in law quipped back..yeah I speak american not what it is you speak! Then he left the room saying Gud -die..gud-die..gud-die...lol He was from the Adelaide I think..just north up the coast from Sydney
