How sad that I remember that ad as if it's still on telly.....and sung every word
hehe! Yeah, me too!
But I was looking for the My mum gives me Milo to go and go and go ad with the kid, the Mum and the Granny but I couldn't find it. :( Coz that's got all that fancy skipping stuff I never got the hang of!

LOL! YESS!!!! Love that ad....always peed myself when the old Granny comes running in at the end and jumps into the skipping rope
Maybe if we drink more milo, we too shall be able to skip like her at that age :eek: I'll make it my goal
Yeah it's classic! :-D My Nan probably could, she's 84, and still rides her pushbike everywhere.
I wonder if skipping is as popular in other parts of the world and if it's called skipping?
I'd also like to know if there is an equivalent to MILO in other parts of the world.
Oh and I stumbled across another confusing cultural conundrum.
Sanger = sammich, sandwich.
Awwww Bless her! Lets hope you've inherited her genes
I'm sure skipping is really popular in the U.S.....well was. I remember they used to always have the skipping clips on Sesame Street, when I was a kid
Have you tried Ovaltine? Not sure where that's from....but that's similar to Milo....not as nice but an equivalent.
We discovered a lingo difference within Australia the other day....
In W.A we say a CARTON of beer, whereas in other states they say a SLAB, or CASE of beer.

It's a carton in queensland.
Another within australia is the different beer sizes, when i went down to S.A i asked for a schooner at the pubs, they gave me a pot, i said no a schooner, they said that is a schooner... turns out queenslanders have pots, schooners pints. South australia has schooners, pints, imperial pints.. very confusing when all you want is a schooner of beer

Actually I learned that at bar school. They actually taught us what size and name for each state. Not that I can remember it now.
I think there's pots, schooners, pints, middies and glasses.
We have glasses and pots. I think that's all. I don't really drink beer so I never have to ask.

Yep....we've noticed the glass thing when we've been top QLD and Sydney. You learn quickly, though when you want a drink LOL!
I know people! I think they're coming to explain now!
In America its jump rope! There's also jumping jacks which is a fast paced game that you sing a certain song to, not that I ever did it though. Its a girlie thing.

Aah! Cool! :cool: Thanks, love! I think we have a name for fast paced skipping that you sing to but I can't remember what it's called. Not enough milo!
Oh and this is confusing cultural conundrums, not confusing gender conundrums!
Dude the mods have got it out for you personally I reckon...or they' are at least watching a few people.

I spent the whole day posting all over the message pit, yesterday and had a tonne of fun doing it.
Geez...our threads gone....nothing we can do about it, so, as confusing as it is, move on and follow the rules or head over to LW
and it's not 'a loo min e um' here....we pronounce it 'al U min e um'

I don't think so. Did you see Kat's reply to my post on the Aussie Acceptance thread before they closed it? I just hope they stick to their word and lock those other long CLICHEY threads then.

speaking of finding Milo online....i found out i can order it from amazon.com!
also, is it pronounced M-ee-lo or M-I-lo? i work with a guy from Puerto Rico and he pronounces it Meelo....
You got to spend it all
So did your Parcel from amazon arrive??
I'd forgotten about this thread so this is a bit late.
I don't know a polite way of explaining it so I'll let urbandictionary do it for me

My American friend suggested Quik but we have that here and I don't think it's much like Milo either.
Yeah, I forgot about Sesame Street. Lot of skipping going on there but do they call it skipping or jump rope?
Oh and here, it's a slab.

and yeah....I love Quik....but it's nothing like Milo.
My Milo vice is having a tonne of it on ice cream!!! I quite often make up a big bowl.....AFTER the kids have gone to bed
I think you're right re; Jump Rope......come on Americans.....wake up and let us know
Yeah, quick is good, activite no good. And ovaltine bleurk!
