The style was moth2fic's suggestion, so you can blame her for this!

Imagine, if you can, what it would have been like if CI5 was an Australian law enforcement agency …

Believe me, it was weird trying to get them to do it*g* Glad it worked and you enjoyed it. And thanks for reading:D

It's been cooler here today, thank goodness. Yesterday was the pits, and so was the weekend. It was easy enough to write about the heat when the sweat was dripping off my nose!

Stone the crows! That was a good read.
“There’s movement at the station,” Bodie said,
Of all the "ocker" slang you've used, this was the one thing that I could actually imagine Bodie saying. Well done!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it:)

I imagined Bodie reciting The Man From Snowy River sounding just like Leonard Teale (remember him?) or nearly*g*

Love the icon:D

Homicide! And there we have our Pros connection - George Mallaby who had a small role in Long Shot as an army driver was also in Homicide for years.

Good heavens, I didn't realise George Mallaby was in Long Shot! What a connection! I'm going to have to watch that again (not that I really need an excuse;)) And Homicide, yes! Brings back ancient memories. I was trying to remember exactly how they talked in that when I was writing the fic*g*

Struth cobber, Oi liked this! I could really imagine the lads sounding Ausssie, especially Bodie with his 'mate' this and 'mate' that. And I've learnt something: I'd always thought it was just the English who were referred to as 'pommy' (bastards) but it's Brits in general. Nice one.

LOL, glad you enjoyed it:) Yeah, Aussies aren’t at all discriminatory with the British - they’re all pommies to us*g*. Thanks for commenting:)
