Not to ruin the fun, answers in a PM.
 
As an English teacher, I'm facinated. My thoughts were:
#4 Arvo=Garden(yard) Chrissy=Christmas
#5 Going Surfing in their Gran Torino Listening to Bryan Farnsworth and AC/DC

Arvo is afternoon...#4 was the one I did know! :yelclap:
Actually 1-4 weren't so bad, but 5 onward weren't English! :laughing:
 
#5 Going Surfing in their Gran Torino Listening to Bryan Farnsworth and AC/DC
... how many slabs will each person on average consume between flashing a brown eye and having a slash? A Slab is a case of beer. "Flashing a brown eye" is defecating and "having a slash" is urinating.
