Bodybuilder magazines everywhere and a system for when one of us had a girl over.

This system was for the other two guys to ashamedly go out and stay out till midnight watching movies and drinking tea in a cafe..." - Loved that bit.

Spot on about mate=cunt, cunt=mate, bastard=mate

Also, if an Aussie, like the one who sold me my Kombi in 1984, says,

"she'll be right" and "no worries" in the same sentence, you are well and truly fucked.

19 year old Seppo Me: "Will this here van make it to Lennox Head."

Aussie Used Car Grifter: "No worries mate, she'll be right."

The engine blew 50 miles outside of Sydney and my new "mate" was not quick to return my calls.
