We’ve got a new guy, Sammy, who’s started with us. Nice bloke, and he’s a hard worker. There’s no doubt about that, but he’s hard work. He’s going on about this bloody marriage. “Oh, is this going to go right or is that going to go bloody wrong?”. Is he going to marry her or not? I’d say so, they’ve got a wedding! He’s either going to marry her or not marry her. If he ain’t going to marry her, I’ll give her one. Look, mate, I understand what you’re saying. I really do. And I am hearing you. But, mate, what you(‘ve) got to understand is that there is a smell in here that is going to outlast religion. Alright? So, can you just give me ears a rest for a minute? Just give it a break for a tick and we’ll talk about it later, alright? I’d appreciate it, mate. G’day, guys.

That’s getting bigger and bigger every day. I’ve been working my butt off on that recently, as I’m sure you all know. Anyway, let’s dive into today’s content. Movie Scene: So, that movie scene. That movie scene at the start is from a movie called Kenny, from a movie called Kenny. I wonder if any of you guys have seen the movie. Kenny, K-E-N-N-Y. So, Kenny’s a really funny movie, although it is a little difficult to understand at times, because the main character speaks with a bit of a lisp. So, he says his S’s ‘like this’. He says them out of the side of his mouth. So, Kenny is about a guy called Kenny in the movie. He is a real Australian battler, a fair dinkum, true blue Aussie guy, who’s working hard, and (he’s) a bit of a simple guy, sort of similar to The Castle, that movie and that outlook on life.
