Here is a 'translation' of the Ad in my last entry - complete with a 'dig' at Australians at the end!

What are you doing this weekend?
I'm putting up a retaining wall.
Doing it yourself?
No, I'm going to get some bloke in.
Oh come on mate - do it yourself.
She's pretty big job.
You'll be right.
You reckon?
We can knock it over in half a day.
Yeah?
Get a couple of mates around.
Hey Jonesy!
Huh?
Give us a hand with a job Saturday?
Mate you're dreaming!
Aussies!
Huh. No surprises there!
