life's no longer borange - you're on the ross and terri web page.
This week, after much stalking, we finally tracked down Big Kev. And boy was he excited. We also redirected the Garfield stolen from a Sydney cinema to the Redfern Children's Hospital. The word borange is now taking the nation by storm - feel free to vote for its legitimacy at www.urbandictionary.com. We started an insect-based ground force to protect us in our unprotected studio and got a Triple J promotional monkey stolen from Brisbane returned to the Sydney studios. We also helped the nation with some important safety advice regarding pilot lights, and found out where to get good security tape, road signs and traffic cones. Handy.
Persons of note this week:
Trevor Peduzie - proud owner of the Triple J Hottest 100 bum.
Michaela from Old Mt Druitt, NSW - our 10-year-old supervisor.
Fairy Laura from Bellingen, NSW - a slightly 'touched' individual with wings.
'Robyn' from 'Country Victoria' - a 'former escort' who claims she used to 'work' for Rick Parfitt from 'Status Quo.'

Woah, flashbacks there, Jon.
Such a shame the show can't last. Very funny stuff, thanks for keeping me entertained at work! I actually had to turn you guys off yesterday because I was laughing too hard and I wasn't getting anything done. Top stuff.
Yeah you guys are breakfast material for sure! What a team I say. And yeah, where was big kev after all?
Woooo good work guys. Ross - come do a show in perth again! Despite all the belltowers
Bad, tasteless, you name it, but here goes...
"The Billabong Classic was won under controversial circumstances this year, by an Indonesian on a wardrobe..."
take nana on tour
you guys should be the new breakfast hosts- heaps better than j and the dr!!!
have been listening to you guys on my headphones at work- people are begininng to think i have some kind of laughing version of terretts! (mind the spelling)
every day between 10 and 2 i am even more unproductive than usual- be a sad day when you guys go.
You guys really do kick some serious Borange. I've always known Ross was a comic LEGEND (living of course) but Terri, WOW)!! It's such a shame you two aren't a permenant fixture. And as for Nanna, Ross should take her on tour, and just have her standing on stage giving out her warm nannerish vibes to Ross's audience (oh and take Terri to, she rules).
Post the theme song for a download or tell us how we can get it. IT ROCKS!!!
Takes me back to early 90's when TripleJ was worth listening to. Halfman Halfbiscuit / Band or not a Band
Congrats on the show, I think JJJ have stumbled across a gold mine in you two! Well not in you, because the trucks and dozers would have to be very tiny...but yeah.
Ross is write up there with Simon Pegg, Mark Heap and Kevin Eldon from the UK series Big Train, in being so off the wall and hilarious. BTW, they also used the smurf song along to some dancing microscopic organisims in a petri dish.
Keep it up...
Thanks Simon and Matt for the site!
You guys should organise a Borangathon (a competition to see who comes up with the worst crap eva), what a Borangation it would be! Ha ha. Do you like my new words? Thanks for organising this website Simon and Matt you've done well but if you could get a pic of Nanna somewhere that would be just swell.
mate had a punk band years ago called HOT VOMIT. love the show but we need more. WE WANT MORE WE WANT MORE WE WANT MORE
You guys are reaLLy cool. I love listening to you, I am a postie and people must thoink I am mad as I race around delivering mail while I laugh at your antics. Terri and Ross 4EVA
Sparky
I am in love with this radio show. If this radio show could somehow implant me with its seed, I would happily carry its baby. For that to be able to happen, the radio show would have to materialise into a physical entity greater than sound waves, and then develop a reproductive system, while I would have to grow my own child-bearing organs or otherwise modify myself.
I was listening to the show on the bus through my phone, and to outsiders it seemed like I was having an exceptionally long phone conversation with a Geordie bloke in which I would contribute very little, and would occasionally be confronted with music. This is how I imagine most conversations with Ross would be...but it's weird nonetheless.
your show is a pisser, for some reason I have found myself talking like a pommy git for the last week...give them a full time job, Mr JJJ boss!
Nanna could keep Ross company on the way home? THen be sent..by submarine, to phuket, to bring hope to many individuals (she could also have a shit load of money raised attached to her in some weird form or another, 'cause those guys need aid and we all know it)
Top work guys, has been a pleasure to be at work this week you two have taken the mundane out of my daily routine. I reckon Nanna should be the embassador for ross or terri's shows at the melbourne comedy festival, i'd love to see her onstage everynite, perhaps with the monkey and the copper who could be wearing molly's hat.
"The Bast" has also earned itself an entry on urbandictionary.com. Vote for its legitimacy as well, or else it will be...well, illegitimate, I guess.
Well guys, I have to agree with everybody else. Best show on JJJ for quite some time. You should be on every weekday for the rest of the year, at least. I was having a netcam conversation with a friend in another city and she kept asking why I was laughing? Ross and Terri in the background of course. I don't like to nit pick but the song from H.R.Puffnstuff was Oranges, Smoranges (circa 1973). Not Borange. Keep up the exellent work guys.
u guys are awesome!!! i don't think i've eva laughed so much in my life!!! i luv the gags. u get stuff from no where!!!
i went into the video shop the otha day and was so tempted to steal the big garfield cut out and send it to you guys!!!
i love borange. its great. i'll introduce it to school as soon as i get back. it'll be the new crap, or something...
You guys certainly dish out a lot of BORANGE in a good way. Listen to the J's daily but your show was outstanding last week.
Everyone go to www.rossnoble.com and send them an email saying how much you love Ross' show. They wont know where the hundreds of emails come from!
Ross I dont like you anymore. You dont come to Tasmania. We might be inbred, but we like humour to. tsk tsk.
In regards to the search for Molly, or as I like to call it, "Where's Molly" (original huh?), it seems he is somewhere in southeast Asia.
Hey Ross,
Did you know that your lighting designer for your tour in Australia last year, Shane Grant, the tall man, he has webbed feet.
Cheers,
Voula
Why do the good announcers never stick around? Boo Hoo! Well at least after next week I wont be crouched underneath the desk getting a better listen to the radio (yes, thats' where it live's), because all the people around me doing work are too distracting, to miss a word would be devastating! I'm officially a fan, you will have to return!
I would like to offer my own new word to the world.
Toufe: (too-fay) To space out and completely lose track of what you are doing while still doing it. Can result in you talking a load of borange without even realising you don't make sense anymore.
I think Ross will know what I mean after his story of forgetting how to flush the toilet last week.
Great show, a pity it is only for two weeks.
Hey guys - love the mornings at work thanks to you. You really get me through. I have an information request: i really need to know more about your little ditty Ross. I'd love to use it on my wedding day instead of "here comes the bride" of course i would skip.
I just love it. Keep up the good work.
About Nanna - take her to bingo & randomly throw her into air shouting "bingo". It'll really make the other nanna's think.
i've been listening to your show everyday at work for the last week and despite the chipmunk song tempting me to shove pencils up my nose into my brain i would have to say i am enjoying you guys on the radio. if you can i would love to hear the new Mars Volta song "the widow" - slightly better than the chipmunk tune im my opininon.
I am planning my week so I can listen to you guys for the whole show, Im loving it.
You saved my boyfriend and I last week when we were driving back from Victoria to Newcastle.
love your work!!! xxxxx
you might even say i think the chipmunk song it is completely borange...
Splendid work! It is nice to have entertaining radio people making me laugh out loud and embarrass myself at work.
I have a new word to share too... the word is "tooters" and it means bum cheeks or the singular "tooter" for a bum in general. I'm sure you can guess what a "toot" is. My sister came up with it, I'd love to see it go world wide i.e The international year of the Tooter.
Anyhoo, sad that this do be your last week :(
Speaking of fairies and such....
Ode to a hob goblin, an original poem by tooters...
I had a little hobgoblin
His name was Henry Shoe
Every time I tickled him
He did a little poo.
I had a little hobgoblin
He used to dance a jig
Every time I had a beer
He took a little swig
I had a little hobgoblin
A cheeky little imp
When it came to housework
He got a sudden limp
I had a little hobgoblin
Who liked to play the flute
He’d put on a little concert
And have a jolly good toot.
I was listening to your show and just YAWNING!
Just joking, Top notch radio guys!!!
They should sign you up for the breakfast show.
Though then we'll never get anything done at work as it is I can never pry myself away from the ute & the radio.
Thankyou!! All Tasmanian teachers have the longest summer break and now I don't feel lazy because I am productivly learning new words, about fairies, appreciating the older generation, and helping to make Big Kevs day. Unfotunatly I now have to stay up way past my bed time to listen to Terri you rock girl!!!
42 definitions for Borange and it looks like it is out of control...I think the real challenge is to add a 'sound' to the definition...what does Borange sound like???
I've got to agree with Michaela, Ross - Your head does not suit your voice!
I thought you would look like Ronnie Corbett's brother and was surprised at how very ordinary your teeth were!
WHY YAWNING IS CONTAGIOUS. While in a lecture at uni (UQ) my mate next to me yawned and I yawned straight after... I asked him why he reckoned it happened... the guy in front of us, who as the God of stereotypes would have it, was wearing 4 inche thick glasses turned and said - "you yawn because your brain requires more oxygen, when someone near you yawns, your subconscious is reminded that you too probably need more oxygen - so you yawn." There you go terri and ross.... the nerds UQ don't lie.
Michaela, is it, your manager, is right ross. Precisely, "your voice does not match your head". I've been listening all week and i only just saw you physically at the Reach Out to Asia night on Saturday.
Your voice is quite ancient sounding, however, your body is young and verile. Thinking you were an old man was a total misconception.
come on guy and gal, how about a coo der tart??
take over the radio station until the management see the light and force the two of you to get up at 4 am each week day to run the breakfast show.
I'm going to tripple m until you're given the gig.
(i'm not really going to triple m, I'd rather go to radio national)
Hi guys, I'm so glad that you are on the airwaves. Totally brilliant!
I have a Catwoman movie cutout standing near the front door of my store. Can someone please steal it! Please.
You could also steal my nanna, as we don't like here that much.
I've voted for ross's theme on the Hottest 100, but wish you guys could post it as a MP3 or give more some more details so I can find it to use as my ringtone.
Thanks heaps, and keep the nonsense going. I love it.
I'd either fill nana full off booze and take her for a night swim at an unpatrolled beach or fill her full off booze and tow her behind the boat at dusk or dawn, which is the feeding times for bull sharks in Gold Coast Canals. You little ripper Nana
You guys are awesome. I haven't laughed this much for ages. It'd be great if you could stick around for longer but it seems that nobody can get any work done because they're listening to you.
At my nephew's christening the priest asked everyone in the church "do you denounce the glamour of Satan?" ... I thought to myself perhaps not if you put it that way?
Good morning, just a thought on "borange" 'i'v got my spine, i've got my "borange" crush!! and i have come up with a diferent slang for "borange" "B,oj" read as O.J, but with a "B". Love the show!
Ross - you're a strange fellow, but i like ya!
Did you know there is a town called cabbage tree? Isn't this the spot for declaring your random borange?
That yawning thing is primal and the reason we catch them off people is because when we were apes living in groups because we couldn't just say its time to go to sleep we needed a way to communicate that the whole group needed to sleep at a certain time.
So the empathy thing is borange it just means if you catch yawns easily your an ape.
Im yawning writing this message uh oh !
I'm a lady. please read earlier posting about the meaning of "tooters. I'm laughing out loud as I too pictured a cabaret Satan.
A while ago I remember hearing a story about you on JJJ that at your house you wanted to build an underground tunnel that lead from your house to a granny flat in the back yard. The pourpose of this was that if you had guests that were staying the night you would say good night to them and point them off in the direction to the backyard to where they were sleeping. Meanwhile you would run off through the tunnel and get to the flat first, and when the people walked in it would freak the hell out of them. Now I just wanted to know if you actually did this and whether it worked? And if you have no idea what im talking about just ignore this.
Terri,
Me and my Mum say "the girls" too!!!
Megan
Terri's hot, Ross... ur not. But the two of you should own the breaki slot.
Boobs are niether girls or boys, they are pets...
My chick friends at uni always refer to thier breasts as 'puppies' and the we always make the comment, "Look at those puppies!!!!!" when they wear push-up bras and low cut tops!!!
You guys are the funniest team on radio since...well eva..
Ross, tell us where ur tour is going to be, cant wait 4 it.
Cheers, Dan.
According to Fantastic beasts & where to find them by Newt Scamander.
The fairy is a small and decorative beast of little intelligence. Often used or conjured by wizards for decoration. The fairy possesses a weak brand of magic that it may use to deter predators, such as the Augurey. It has a quarrelsome nature but, being excessivley vain, it will become docile on any occasion when it is called to act as an ornament. Despite its human-like apperance, the fairy cannot speak.It makes a high pitched buzzing noise to communicate with its fellows.
I haven't laughed as much in my life as I have between the hours of 10am & 2pm last week! I've been on holidays, but I go back today, luckily I work afternoon shift and don't leave for work until 2pm otherwise I don't think I could go! You guys are totally borange and I think think it's totally criminal that triple j aren't making it a permanent gig-I'm sure Myf wouldn't mind teaming up with you guys. That would definitely be radio gold! Surely the triple j hierachy could come up with something.........
I agree that "they" are girls...however I have recently started referring the "them" as B1 & B2...don't remeber why....but have said to a particularly nice boy "Come and see how magnificent B1 & B2 look in this low cut bra!!!" Seemed to work...he knew what I meant....
Hey Ross and Terri, the show rocks! REALLY gonna miss you guys! Ohhhh...
Anyway, you mentioned we can send our Borange songs to you in mp3 format. How do we do that? I didn't see any links on the site.
Cheers
Can't you guys take over the Mel in the morning slot (and incidentally the world)???? We, the Aussie public desperately need something interesting to tune in to. JJJ Radio has steadily been going down hill for a while now. You guys pick up the calibre and add some excitement to the day in otherwise yawnsville programming of late.
Ta.....bored with the usual crap
NB: Danger!! warning!! don't look up "glamour of Satan" on google...well unless your in league with the saucy side of the devil.
Thanks for your borange natter guys. I can't help but laught just at the sound of yur voice Ross. And you are fantastic despite what they say Terri!! ;)
Love you guys. Hopefully somebody will lock the doors to the studio and you'll never be let out!!!
24/7 Ross and Terri. Brilliant!

Greetings Terri & Ross,
Love the show,But can't help thinking its missing something.....I know,Its missing my Borange song.
unfortunately I am e-mailing from the local library where they don't allow e-mail so I hope this makes
it through to you.
Dear Voices of Mirth,
Well done for some welcome comedy round these parts - been here for 18 months and your show has been the best piece of radio I've heard in that time. Haven't laughed so much since the days of Mark and Lard (Terri, Ross can tell you about those two...).
Make it a permanent fixture!!
G'day tiger.. Did you end up getting a lift with Shannon Noll saturday night? I don't have a song about borange, but you may want to listen to our song about nanna....email me if you are keen to listen. May not be suitable for on air...but you may get a laugh.....
Cheers,
Kris.
PS: Absolutely love your work! you guys make a great team....
I have my own little nanner sitting on my desk. The mini nanna of course, as it would be rather hard to fit the whole nannna on. Question, will I be now responsible for all that happens to my mini nanna? Am I in charge of making sure she has nanna naps (and would this be a mini nanna nap or a regular nanna nap) and making sure she has her nanna tea?? Please advice me on this as I am starting to worry... also they dont reproduce on their own accord... do they???? just think my desk tomorrow could be filled with 20 mini nannas and then the next day 100..... it coudl go on till the mini nanna revolution occurs and then what..?????
I have webbed toes... what borange!
am i the only one that finds nana strangely attractive?
Hey ROSS!!!! SAW YOU on the TV!!! HAHA... and don't lie, i saw you talking to peter helliar, luckily you didn't have to pash him huh?haha rove and bert.
You two should take over the lunch time space...
Besides the word borange you should used the word mchussy....
Don't leave us!! Stay another week. Just kidnap Mel and stuff her in a box somewhere around Longreach. I'm sure she will understand if she is able to free herself before she suffocates.
Terri, you are a funky raucus spunk.
Ross reminds me of an evil goblin from The Labyrinth or perhaps a Skeksiss from The Dark Crystal. Either way you are an evil puppet.
jo0 r0><oRss!
Been done before.......
um yes no
I'm impressed. I've only recently realised the strangeness of some of the phone calls you have to deal with as radio presenters. I'm impressed that you are able to deal with such a level of respect with people who it might be easier to dismiss out of hand. The time that you take to talk to these people certainly gives me a broader perspective of the variety of people there are in the world. I appreciated the conversation with the Wizard today. I still don't know what it was about, but certainly turned the volume up to hear that Harry Potter was a fake. Next thing she'll be saying Santa Claus is a fake and I think I'll need counselling if she tries that. Thanx for some easy listening over summer. Hope to hear more of Terri during the day in the future.
Ross - was laughing along to your (and Terri's) show the other day wondering who you were and where I recognised that humour! I lived with Holly a couple of years back in Rostrevor Road. Love the show, hope you stay with JJJ. Love to H & J.
Is anyone else old enough to remember the Mirinda orange drink ad way back in the 60s or 70s (?) where an orange was practicing its line "Mirinda makes me proud to be an orange" and when he gets on stage, stuffs it up by saying:
"Birinda pakes me boud to ne a borange."
Maybe borange isn't such a new word after all.
You guys are the best. C'mon JJJ, keep these guys on the airwaves! You know you want to...
Brilliant stuff Terry & Ross. Can't turn the radio off! You guys should be doing this all the time!!! Finally, a worthy successor to Mikey, Helen (Sandy & Flacco).
***Ross... I noticed when you pronunced the word "Nuclear" last week, it resembled "NUCULAR". Obviously, you were just adding the first word in The Dictionary of Ornery English: Here's some others - Excape (escape), Brooyant (brilliant), Fort (thought), Arks (ask).
Words of advice for young people:
-At certain times of the month, wandering jazz musicians can act all superior
-2-3 times per week, an assortment of fine cheeses will do a happy little dance
-Smaller versions of great britian can be found at the bottom of several empty chinese food containers
-Ringo Star is in the 3rd level of dimentia, while george harrison cant beat the boss at the end of level 2
-It's always in the last place you look.... well of course it is, your not going to continue looking after you've found it are you?
With that, I hope the kids of today will stop bothering several feet of clippings with screws.
Love the Kaos. I once dumped some-one because she had webbed toes and inverted nipples. How shallow am I, but it did freak me out.
cheerio
I have much the same problem as these guys above! i will be sitting at the beach and chuckle out loud to be met with strange looks from nearby beach goers! I think you've started a war between all the fairies (faeries) and wizards out there. Well Done! It's a bit scary that you got such a good response from these... people? Keep the laughs coming guys. Congrats. Nami (not the devastating kind)
It's been a long time since two radio presenters have made me laugh as much as you two. It would be a crime for Triple J not to keep you on the air.
Ross - if I ever have children, I want you to be thier god father.
Terri - I'd fly across the country if I had a chance at going out on a date with you!
Ross, I saw you doing Unrealtime at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and will be right up there for Noodlemeister (which is what, exactly?) this year. Make sure you go on The Glass House again because that was brilliant.
You guys rock my world!
i agree with the young girl on your show today (michaela?). Terry, you are a looker for sure, but Ross, your head is wrong! Your head says funky, but your voice says Frank Spencer and a nice a cup o' tea.
Hey guys, Just a quick comment on "Borange"
I have to tell you it's not really new :)
I once had a girlfriend, who had a cat who was given the nickname "Borange". "Borange" in this instance being a derivitive of "Big Orange Cat"
The cats real name was "Seven", just in case you were heaps interested ;)
If my memory serves me correctly (and most times it doesnt, so....) this naming would have occured in Brisbane around 6-7 years ago.
Hi Guys,
Just want to say that I really went off triple J for a long time and since your show I have DEFINATELY found the love again!! You guys are fantastically funny and I believe you are perfect for the breakfast show.... Keep it up.
Frizzy Mama
Hi Chaps
You are just brill! As we've all been on hols we've been listening all the time and laughing our socks off. Don't go away...find a couple of hours somewhere in the program schedule. Specially loved the 'band or not a band...' but love it all!
hello there, i was listening to you on the radio (as you do) and was amused at ross's thery of aussies and nick names. how we if you have a short name lengthen it and visa versa. My name as stated is matthew which is usually shortened to matt which makes sense. Well my mates after matt is used alot then elongate my shortened name out to matty or matticus. Hopefully this adds sustance to your idea ross.
im 44 and ride a mower for frankston council . having a good listen , good fun . i wonder what the poor people are doing ?
Fruit is in my hair, by the way, quicksand has stolen my shoe
Driving home to Canberra from a holiday in Adelaide we were nearly dangerous drivers from laughing so much! Some of the best radio we've heard on Triple J in ages. So much so that when I had to go back to work, I actually took a radio in so I could listen. Please get a regular spot or else Triple J is just borange!
snot could solve world hunger. Just think it is so versitile. Everyone could just eat their own and it would never run out. When you had a runny nose it would be lunch time all day. Well that's my answer to world hunger.
Tis going to be a sad Friday indeed this week, when you two are gone :-(
Terri I have always loved you, in a comedic sence, not romanticaly, though If my wife would consent, Im sure some arrangements could be made, but I digress, as I was saying, last year when your good self and Justin Hamilton did the breakfst shit over the Christmas break, I though it was a worthy replacement for those other two.............what was their names.....Adam and Bill, or was it Sadam and Phill.....anyweay you know who I mean, and now JJJ has hit comedy gold, tell Ross not to lose his passport as I reakon when J and the Dr fall flat, the high and mighty in the JJJ glass tower will be looking for a replacement, and I for one will be inundating their email inboxes with petitions begging for your re-instatement as JJJ living legends.
Ross, you are one funny dude, apply for permamnent residency, I know some people in high places who will sponsor you ;-)
PS: Im working on my Nanna kit right now :-)
Garry the garbo
Have to agree with everyone else, you guys rock. I plan my day so as to be able to hear as much of your show as possible.
Last week, Ross mentioned a weevil, found in flour, that if eaten caused hallucinations. Well, I saw this thing on t.v. claiming that this was the cause of the witchhunts in Salem.
Thought that was pretty cool.
Maybe both of you can come and eat lobster with me and my friend siobhan. Its on our list of things to do before we die. It might be fun, us and you eating cruseacean, if that is the correct spelling....
OOPs that should read "Breakfast SHIFT" d'oh
It's not fair!!! We only get 2 weeks of you guys!!!
You definitely deserve a permanent slot on JJJ... I don't think I've laughed as hard as I have in the last week for a long time!
Oh well, keep up the good work!! and here's to hoping you get something more permanent. Provided you want it of course.
if you remove the r, a and e from borange you are left with bong. i think this is an important observation.
I have an idea for your nanna.Put her on nexts years hottist 100 cd cover. !!!GO NANNA!!!Your Our Hero.
which one is which?
are they sisters?
Hi Ross, how ya junglin? (Streets of London/Jamaican accent)
I am so happy that JJJ have got some decent people on their station you are great to listen to unlike all the daleks that are usually on!
Ok Ross now that we have a normal (pommy) dj on can we please have some good pommy music, ok here is a playlist for tomorrow, quite basic really, 'Ghost town' Specials, some Smiths, any will do, some X Ray Spex, bit of UB40, some Clash, some Joy Division, some Fugazi, anything off 'margin walker" or 'repeater'. Can you also please play "I've never met a nice South African" by the spitting image people? Please, oh go on, be your best friend!
More in a mo.
Finn
Ok Ross, oh great one! Here is the rest of the playlist, some "Damned" would be ace, some Metallica, prefer something off "Master of puppets", what else? Mmmmmm? How about some Lloyd Cole for me German Transexual mate Ray "Marlene" Museli bar.
Ross if you do this you will be more of a diamond geezer than you are already!(Streets of London Accent)
If the Triple JJJ bosses are reading this, give Ross and the bird a full time job and get rid of the bleedin pratts you are currently employing!
BIG UP ROSS AND TERRI, KEEP JUNGLIN', KEEP IT REAL! (Streets of London/Jamaica accent)
Lord Finn of Hendon NW4 (now in the Can)
Cheers
Get out the love puppies Terri, get it right :)
That fairy nearly got dark on you today.
You should be giving away packets of fruit loops
Keep up the good work
"Are you free?" "Im free!"
~ Mr Humphries ~ [Are you being served]
In an office that listens to Nova FM all day, listening to you on my walkman continues to ward off death by crap music and banter! Unfortunately, you will probably be directly responsible for my contract not being renewed and the office label of "odd girl of sporadic bursts of laughter". Just how does one explain personal injury in the House of the Lord and a groundforce of flies / walks to a very un-enamoured audience?
Yay for Ross and Terri - you guys rock! =)
fell in love with ross when he talked about his 'sighing possum' on rove, and it's been awesome hearing more of him on the radio. can't believe terri and ross is nearly over. you guys RULE. going now to vote for the legitimate dictionarising of borange. cheers guys.
People listen but don't hear. Ross, has a house in England and a house in Melbourne. He has a wife, who I believe, is Australian, is she not? This means, Ross IS a PERMENANT RESIDENT, has the right to work here and that's why he's here so much! He also has commitments all over the world in the coming year and alas, cannot fulfil our wish to fill our days with joy and happiness. But we still have Tex.
Don't Go ross & Terri,Or life will sux at work.You guys keep us all going on the long summer days.
Who needs music when you guy are on the air.
P.S Wheres molly. nanna needs a new hate for her long journey over our great land lol :) Keep up the good work.
I got so excited when Big kev got excited that I almost had a heart attack. I had previously been so concerned for his welfare that I had bought a plethora of his various cleaning products in an attempt to keep his financial affairs afloat. That affair being complete, I have the pleasure of devoting my leisure time to listening to you guys, a pleasure I will miss at the end of the week. By the way, I'm the bloke who owns the definition of borange currently at number 2, watch out, I might take over. 80 votes is SO nearly 1000 and something. I'm right there, its like e-stalking or something.
More!!!! Please JJJ give us more, someone needs to start a "We want Terri and Ross and Nannas" petition.
As long as you dont get put into the breakfast shift that is, im not getting up that early for anyone.
absolutely love the show. You two are the bestest! I want you to take the morning show cos I miss too much of the brekky show getting up at 7am. I don't want to miss a minute of it. Great work, you guys bounce off each other like no others I've heard yet. Riveting Radio!!
Until mid-last week, I had previously never ever listened to Triple J before, quote, 'Nothing but garbage! Get some 101.7 into ya!', unquote. Yes, my dads words rang in my head... until my friend, Tiz, introduced me to Triple J. I turned on the radio at 11am and laughed until 2pm.
I have only listened for about a week, but now I am definately here for the long run thanks to you guys... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE nag ABC to let you guys have a perminant fixture... I will cry on Friday of this week, and as short-lived as it was, my 1½ week affair with Ross and Terri shall be long-remembered and accompanied with random bursts of laughter remembering Nana, Fairy Laura and Mikala.
Long live borange... it has quite literally worked its way into my everyday vocabulary, replacing my standard 'rubbish'.
I want both of your babies,
Pat. xoxox
ADDITIONALLY...
Ross, I saw your head on your website and I full-heartedly agree with Michaela... Your voice doesn't suit your head. I imagined you to look like the little dude in tripod.
BORANGE
This webpage (link below) not only appears to be borange-orientated, but is also in itself a load of borange... but very funny, in an outlandish sort of manner...
I'm lonely, desperate single of questionable personal habits..........How about it Terri ?
Dang she's got the sexist voice on radio
I am back at work this morning and for the first time in a long time I have something to talk to with fellow workmates, well the ones who have been egerly listening to the j's between 10-2. I am normally the enthused and very muich j's inspired but at the moment the others are catching onto spirit of the j's. Were's a petition that one can sign in order to get these guys on again????? Even if it was once a week I would do anything to make my day, week, month not so borange.
Will you pair of tossers shut up and play some music. You are tedious and annoying to the utmost degree and I wish that you would both just go away quietly.
YAY ...hooray for humour!! and music of the elves!!
Hey Snow...go put some CDs on and have a good lie down till 2 o'clock. or maybe you could download and make your own Nanna, it has a soothing effect. These guys are great.
anyone who's interested in tasteful photography involving a particular nanna check out our gallery
Yes, everyone is right. you should stay on. Ross why go back to the smelly UK, its fun here. and you'd have a full time job on jjj if they've got any sense. well done on your very funny show and it'll be sad to see you go... (how did i get so attached to a radio show in 1 week?)
Bridget and Sarah round of applause that's just brilliant. My favourite Nana shot was the one titled "???" it's so dreamy lookin, Nana and her young man sure do look happy.
just hangin out with my almost 2 year old neice who i just taught to say terri and ross, cause you guys rock, if she understood your jokes i'm sure she would love you too. good work dont go ross!!! and terri what the hell are you doing on late night radio all by yourself, you two should do breakfast, not that i dont love jay and the doc....lets just leave it at that.
Rock on your funny bastards!!!
ASS TECHNICIAN
Ross I keep Hearing people use this word.
Could you enlighten me as to its meaning and use
in modern day society
Locked Myself out story:
I am a Volunteer Firefighter in N.S.W ,was just tooling about the house, in carport,pager(fire call to respond) goes off and right at the same time front door blows shut now LOCKED ,keys inside and i NEED to get to the station what to do?
Scrached head for a moment (as you do in a 'situation' like this)
Turned and kicked my front door in !
Love the show !!!!!!
Bretto........
Hi just wanted to say thanks for your show. It's so great to hear some intelligent humor coming out of the radio. Terry you have a great radio voice it reminds me of a friend of mine who Alyssa who does comedy on community radio in melbourne!
Thanks again
Ordinary dogs doing extraordinary things:
My dog Ziggy part Staffy /Doberman is a sneaky thief dog and if given the opportunity slinks indoors to gently pick things up in his puppy lips and slinks back outside to horde stuff in his hoochie. As he did on one such occasion - he had stolen a tissue, slinked out to the backyard ...swallowed it and proceeded to sneeze beautiful tissue snow all over the back lawn.
He has also stolen weed killer, punctured the bottle drunk it all and lived...
BREAK IN'S:
I once locked myself out of my house. My Girlfriend also suggested that I smash the window, and after a heated exchange, she walked away, and I kept the window in tact. I used screwdrivers, hacksaw blades, and a book cover to slide through and un-hook the window. After over an hour I broke in. The window opened out, and I had to pull it out as far as I could, and then slide through. I walked through the house, and let my angry girlfriend in.
I then went back outside to push the window back in, and put my hand straight through it, smashing it into pieces. My girlfriend cheered up, and I had 13 stitches!!!
This show is Bad luck... Just took Nanna out to the car, put her seatbelt on and tried to come back inside and my keys have disapeared. Got back into the house my removing the flywire from frame. Now the hunt is on to find the keys before I can get Nanna out.
Stuff the gerkins, garnish it with cajun and chicken salt.
Mmmmm.
There is a website dedicated to The Borange Collector: http://www.bath.ac.uk/~ate20/theborangecollector.htm . I have no association with this site other than memories of Smurfs.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The webcast has gone down!
Here I am stuck at work with no radio and a broadband connect, and no JJJ.
That's it I must go and steal something!
Ok scratch that. The web is so cool, I post a problem and the server is back!
forgot to mention that while we were out taking our happy snaps with nanna an old man stopped his car and started to approach us, asking "how many of those have you got?"
when he reached us he turned nanna round so he could see her face before remarking "oh, no, thats not what I'm looking for."
he then explained to us that he was looking for mary, joseph, two lambs a shepard, a wise man, and the baby jesus, all stolen from the nativity scene at the local church...
what better way to get borange on the agenda than to vote for one of the borange songs - remember salmonhater?
my partner, when he was still a kid at home, would bunk of school with his brother while his mum & dad were at work, go home and climb up onto the roof, remove a couple of roof tiles, climb into the roof, put the tiles back, get into the house and raid the fridge and pantry. They would then go out the door. His mum could never understand why all the cooking chocolate and nuts were gone when she went to make anything. The standard answer was "the fairies took it", maybe it was fairy Laura..........
Please, please, somebody "storm" the campus centre at Monash Uni and take the life-size cut out of Ian Thorpe. Why hasn't it happened already? What's wrong with the uni student of today?
P.S. Ixnay on the precocious kids yeah?
hey guys: you 2 really work well on air - how about a fulltime gig on TripleJ?
2 weeks is NOT enough - MORE! MORE! MORE! - please.
so better start talking contracts with ABC management and get a real gig out of this.
Afterall, it doesn't have to be forever.
keep up the fantastic work!
cheers
sven
Hi guys! How about trying to find the "REAL NANA?" Yes, the lady who donated her face (and figure) to be the national mascot for the R & T show!!
I'm sure by the end of the week she will be feeling rather alarmed at the places she has been seen. Not to mention when her grand children phone up to comment on her travels.
YOU FOUND BIG KEV, I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS!
I also just want to add my comments to the rest of Australia. I am still on holidays and at 1000 everyday I am locked to the radio.
Take care both of you, I love your work.
Terry
Break and Enter in your own house
A while back I also had the misfortune of being locked out o our semi. Lucky it was garbage day, I pulled on of the garbage bins off, pushed it out to our rather large side gate. Hoping up on the bin, I saw my sisters attempt to stop people getting in this way, by placing a cactus on the other side of the gate, just as wide and as deep. Deciding not to wait the hour and a half for someone to get home and let me in, I balanced on the 3 cm thick gate a lept from the gate over the cactus to land on the concrete path. Moving around the house realising that all the bottom windows were locked and so was the back door, I proceeded to think if any of the upstairs windows were open.
Now getting a back yard chair and propping it against the side fence I heaved my self up on it. This fence is lapped and capped, which means it is about 10cm wide. Balancing along the fence, I walked up the length of the house, to see a bedroom window half open. But then realising my situation, I would have to jump half a metre up and one metre across to get to the tiles that jutted out from underneath the window. After weighting my options of waiting one hour or falling I decided to take the risk. Landing on the gutter it started to buckle, so taking my chances I dove for the open window. I made it, though I dived into the lamp on the other side, and then into the corner of the bed. Getting up in a bit of pain, I made my way down stairs to get my bags that I had left out the front, to find my sister opening the found door as she had finished early.
you guys are rockin. wish you could stay on longer if not forever. haven't laughed this much since paul and mikey were on. I have been just hiding in the work ute for 4 hours to listen to you guys.
keep it up!!!
Hey
Just thought I'd mention I've added an image to the definitions of borange on urbandictionary.com
Check it out
Cheers
Dave
Look what you've done to the people of this nation - from reading the messages one could form the opinion that the entire population is huddled under desks, in nooks and crannys, not communicating with workmates, laughing out loud at things that make no sense to anyone else in their direct vicinity, except perhaps those who might have a nanna in tow - to wit, you know I think you've started what will perhaps be the shortest lived revolution in Australian broadcasting, it would be sadly remiss if you are not both back on out airwaves again soon marcus
Cummon.... Ross and Terri Breakfast Show Bonanza!!!
I know you guys dont want to wake up at 4am every morning, but i dont want to listen to j and the dr every morning! - they are borange.
I've mentioned it to a couple of people and everybody got very excited. Easy Ross & Terri for breakfast. Easy!!!!
MUCH NEEDED ADVICE!!!!
if you meet a girl you think is really sweet and inocent and you then find out she does internet porn, which you dont personally agree with as a self respect issue, but you still like her do you continue your quest on dating her or leave it well alone.???
Borange has made it to Wikipedia....
Good job guys I hope by writing I LOVE YOUR SHOW it means you'll be on in the morning between 7am - 10:30am.
great show guys i wish it could go for longer! p.s. long live nanna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
loving the show, big shame you can't be a permanant feature, is this your choice or managment?
darren
Long time listener first time commentor. After hearing your show today i decided to vist your site. I typed in rossandterry.com and found some interesting stuff. If you want treatment for alcohol or are looking for single people either jewish or christian, they dont discriminate, then rossyandterry.com is the place for you! It finaly clicked and i realise now that terry is the female of the show and spelt with an i ofcourse! So to distract from an awkard point in the email here is a knock knock joke, when told properly is very amusing.
"Knock, knock"
-"Who's there?"
"Sheep interupting"
-"Sheep interup.."
"Bahhh"
Get it?!
Guys i love the show, its perfect. I know its subjective but people dont want to listen crap on the radio. But if its funny crap with a few guests here and there and some cool music, presto you've got yourselves a regular time slot! Yous have also embraced the peoples voice, which evident by the phone calls you receive. Who's gunna start the petition eh, i mean whats the worst that can happen? Geez i've gott to much time on my hands, i mean what sort of people email disc jokeys. I'll tell you what sort people, people with webbed feet, who sleep with nanas while watching Anthony Robbins, thats who. Hmmm, that sounds very familar, thats borange actually. I gotta go thats hit a bit to close to home. ;)
PS. Terri just kidding about the spelling bit, it was an honest typo, i didn't really think you where a man!
Great show Terri and Ross, piss J and the doctor off and you should have the morning gig for next year!!!!
All I need now is music damn it.....
"Smells Like Borange"
Fairies on the phone like,
Making the Wizard pissed,
Satan holding on line two,
Big Kev was sorely missed.
Play the theme just one more time,
Let them all ring in,
Tiny jockeys gee-ing up,
That shit wont ever wear thin!
It all smells like Borange.
Borange on the air waves,
Borange in your home,
Borange in the mornings,
Borange on the phones.
Download her sweet and smiling face,
And stick her to cardboard,
Nanna does Australia,
Her image has been whored.
Mints first thing in the morning,
Do not a breakfast make,
Terriaki and a spatula,
And no windows shall you break.
It all smells like Borange.
Borange on the air waves,
Borange from them to you,
Borange in the morning,
Borange gets me through.
Throughout her beloved motor car,
And right throughout her home,
For several months and counting,
The smell of blood and bone.
A voice that doesnt fit a head,
A last name too hard to rhyme.
Like Cheech and Chong so long ago,
A pair well ahead of their time.
It all smells like Borange.
Borange on the air waves,
Borange from him and her,
Borange in the morning,
Borange was always there.
Now the Smurfs have done their dash,
The monkeys no longer on loan.
The gherkins go uneaten,
And the Garfields have all gone home,
Please dont leave as all alone.
We wont know what to do,
First Spence and Will both left us,
And now you're going too?
It all smells like Borange.
Borange on the air waves,
Borange will be missed,
At least you guys can stay up late,
And once again get pissed!
i was going to rave about how brilliantly funny you both are, but obviously everyone has beaten me to it. triple j need their heads read for giving the breakfast show to those two morons when they have such undeniable talent such as you two at their disposal. i have not laughed so HARD, so OFTEN, since Mikey and Paul ruled the airwaves. and if ross can't stick around, then give terri and justin the time slot. well done guys. nanna is outside helping me paint the house, but i don't have a camera.....
Why don't you guys have a "beat the Nanna" competition?? it should be worldwide - we don't want to limit Nanna to Australia...
OR it could be "Beat the Borange Nanna" then everone will be happy. Just imagine the MCG filled with Borange Nannas
I love you guys! I get up early just to listen to your show (10am IS early!)
You guys are farkin hilarious. Your show has inspired me to find ways to get out of work between 10 and 2 so I can listen to the two of you kakking yourselves.
ps: has anyone discovered who the Nana's real identity is?
this works, dammit.
while sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the
floor and make clockwise circles. now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it!!!
and if you can do it, well i hate you because i can't!!! so up ya!
Have to agree with all who rate you as the best, your show is awesome and like others have said before me, made me realise why I started listening to triplle J in the first place. Recently, especially with the departure of Adam and Will I was begining to wonder why I was bothering to listen to the radio at all and begining to pull out the CD's instead ... that is until you came on radio Ross. Before you guys in the morning the standards of comedy on triple J have been pretty lame elsewhere on the station so I have to ask, please, if you can and want to, do more shows! Get on the payroll permanently, the world needs more exceptionally funny, spontaneous and intelligent comedy.
By the way... don't worry about playing the music, just talk, thats what is the most entertaining. Thanks for sharing your amazing (comedic) gift with us!.
I beleive the "Beat the Nanna Competition" has been in nursing homes all over australia for years.
I have had to stay back at work late tonight so no one will see me print out my nanna using work resources. I also want to photocpy my bum but that is for another website
Despite its incompatibility to your head, your voice is very sexy Ross. You need to stay on JJJ this year! Listen to these people, the majority votes for you! I say, Petition for Ross and Terri on the morning shift next year.
Absolutely love the show Ross and Terri!
Please Please Please come back next week and all the weeks for ever more!!
Last Tuesday I had a nose operation. The pain I was caused by listening to you guys and laughing was worth it. Ross I even got to crack a one liner to the drug doctor as he put me out! Now that JJJ has lost Adam and Will You guys are the peoples only option.
How do we get this petition going
come back to Perth, Ross...
i'll bring all my geophysicist friends
Hi ross and terri
I was at work yesterday and had a great idea
for your thursday afternoon interview could u get fairy luara and molly the wizard to have a whos who of the magical wor debate to uncover the truth about the to fabled characters.
That would be great.
Mark WA
P.S coul u pass this on to rosie wat my brother told her was a lie kirup is NOT a surfie town
Fantastic, Excellent, Unreal, Side Splitting, Non Stop Entertainment. Keep up the good work guys. You are what radio is all about.
CHAMPAGNE RADIO !!
How about a list of "is a band, not a band".
brilliant. Love Ross' accent, Terri always good, but the duo needs to be bottled !
Great show guys.Try to get another time slot when you finish this week.What ever you do don`t go to commercial radio.
Hi Ross,
following my call on Monday regarding me and Ronnie Golden nicking the Colonel Sanders stand-up 30+years ago, I just emailed him to see if still has it ( or others ) and to let you know, or send photos.
Meanwhile, thanks for a great 2 weeks, and I agree with all the others comments, fab show.
I only started listening to triplej last year and then only cos I hate commercial radio, and most of it is ok but nothing special, but I do have to say that Terri has been great for the last few weeks, I never heard the night time shows, but she is a million times better than the 'so cool hip chicks' (yuk, yuk)that were on before.
I know everyone wants the show to stay, and Ross has a busy schedule, but JJJ should at least put Terri on every day, and then Ross could do odd days too when available.
Good idea?
RECKON!
All the best,
Chris M.
Hi guys, just to say sorry, I was rude earlier about your colleagues, all the triple JJJ ppl are cool, really!
Keep junglin!
Big FInn
Im very disturbed about the idea of monkeys picking tea...when ever i see them they always seem to be scraching there nuts or other places yuck! my mind is filled with some very wrong images of monkeys picking tea :|. do the monkeys have little tea partys after work?
we really love you guys and it would be awesome if you could have your own time slot together after this is over you 2 are a winning combo <3
hey guys, I was lying in bed last night trying to get to sleep and all I could think about was Justin Hamilton's statement yesterday about when he hears your theme song he thinks of little elves with knives waiting for your feet to fall of the end of your bed, and that bloody song was playing in my head for about 2 hours. your a bastard Ross, Teri your hot. Keep up the good work guys.
give those idiots j and the borange dr the flick - these 2 are FUNNY people. please keep them on full time. It's worth listening to the radio again.
PLEASE
hey there! for another wacky annoying yet terrific 'do do do' jingle, get a hold of the theme music for a lovely little cartoon called "Happy Tree Friends" introduced to me in Edinburgh. (it definately works with the whole elves with knives scenario!). gonna miss you guys next week, gonna have no excuses for being distracted from job searching!
just listening now - don't wear the water filled bra, but don't pack in in your luggage either. i reckon it'd just go a bit wierd too, so keep it on hand luggage and check it out now and then, might get a few odd looks but she could say its an experiment!
Terri and Ross - where have you both been all my life?? I've not laughed so much for years! Stu wipes yet more tears of laughter from his face adn tries to stop the office chair from spinning...
ABC radio programme directors - Serious comment Terri and Ross are sooooooo far in front of those frenzel dudes its NOT funny! Definitely JJJ breakfast radio material, par excellence, so 'just do it'.
Hot Terri and Ragged Ross - you two have been absolutely top notch, bouncing off each other like a couple of water filled bras... laughing Keep up the great work, my handkerchiefs need more use!
Cheers,
Stu
Hi Ross and Terri, loving the show. Wish you could be on for a bit longer
I had an early experience with large cardboard cutouts of mature ladies about four years ago. It was actualy at the comedy festival at one of Ross's shows where he appeared on stage after a mediocre puff of smoke parading a huge cutout of Madge Rambesy's (R.I.P) head.
At that very moment, two rival soap opera (Home and Away) actors arrived late, which Ross missed as his view was obscured by the large Madge head. A comedy gold oppurtunity missed. You would have said something really funny I bet...like...erm...yeah it would have been funny.
Today someone came up to me and said "Do you know the way to Mordor?" then walked away. I was at a loss as to what to say, but would like to find this person and converse with him further, as i am very intrigued indeed. This has nothing to do with anything, but i wanted to share it with a wider audience.
Just to put everyone's mind at ease, looking at "nanna takes charge of the defibrillator" I am quite sure that the "patient" is one of those jolly joking doctors.
Firstly - there are no ECG wires attached to the 'patient's' chest
Second - the 'patient is wearing a T-Shirt. ICU patients in comas almost always have an ECG and other monitoring wires attached all over.
Third - there is no pulse clip on the patient's finger - dead give away
Fourth - the monitor is switched off..hard to check vitals with no screen
Fifth- as funny as nanna is, no doctor would EVER joke with and ICU patient - not only is it in bad taste, but if it could jeopardise the patien'ts fragile health they're looking at law suits and maybe even jail> Nanna's a lovely chook, but not really worth jail time for manslaughter - just ask Uncle Chop Chop Nanna.
hey did the oldies in the food court listen to "hip-pop"?
Is Terri the only woman capable of having a silent Pee?
Ross are Geordies named after a miners light, the Mad King George or are they just in need of illumination?
Finally a word to rhyme with orange,no more sleepless nights for me.
I agree with everyone else,this is a great radio show.The PC of JJJ had nearly driven me to commercial radio.NEARLY
Terri rocks but I'm afraid Ross is just a knobhead!
Does Costa hear your comments?
Maybe not. Greetings from one hour ago. Here in Brisbane, we are an hour behind, and listen to a delayed broadcast. Now, if he is listening to the Brisbane broadcast, your comments won't be broadcast until after he's started. If he's listening to you live, however, then he does know.
I think you should still dream up mean things to do to him though.
Nanna does Diamond! See EMMAx2! Nanna being fondled on the beach! More pics on the URL link
Hey Ross,
Thought you might like to know that the bodyline gag was a world wide event recently. In June last year, 103 countries, 187 cities all got together to perform three random acts of stupidity. Ali Benton covered the story on "Hack".
If you are interested, click the link to Mob#18:gfm2 on the sydmob website(www.sydmob.com) the link is on the side bar on the left. There were three "acts". 'Alien invasion', 'Thanks for the love rug', and 'Bodylines'.
Might see if we can get nanna into the next flashmob.
You guys should be doing breakfast. end of story. J and the Dr are not what the people want.
Go to a vote!.... why does JJJ never listen to its audience?
Tidy work kids. terri your voice is gawd damn sexy. and ross, youre alright too.
nanna for Pm. she seems much more in touch with the people than little johnny, and her charisma makes up for lack of flesh..
A comment on borange: At the high school I attended there was an award given out on speech night called the "Boranger Prize". I never got to win it and I'm not exactly sure what you had to do to win it, but it did look like a pretty ordinary prize, probably awarded to the most borange student for continually writting rubbish, therefore making him/her a boranger...
i wanna hear you two in the mornings when i wake up.
not the other 2 dudes starting next week.
pretty puh-lease???
There is a huge online community of people (what else?) who enjoy creating their own languages, as in Elfish and Klingon. You need to make your own Blorange language, an Australian-Celtic-Faerie language.
As an aspiring linguist I could almost be arsed to do it myself...but alas that would require effort on my part.
So I suggest to Simon Wright and Matt Parker to create a link where we can all get together and create a fully fledged Borange language.
I still think it should be spelt bhorange! it has wankapeal!
Congratulations on a FANTASTIC show. Every morning I've listened to you two I've ended up in incoherent tears. (Yesterday I tried to relieve my son's concerns by explaining that mummy wasn't crying, mummy was laughing because someone broke into their own house with barbecue tongs which their dogs attacked because they were covered in satay sauce. Funny ... he just looked at me ...) You two together are brilliant ... Why do you have to go???? Please stay ...
I play the drums and haven't been in a band for a little over ten years, but after hearing some of the band names in Band or not a Band, it's rekindled my interest. Now, today I've heard the sealer - Frogs on Crack - I can't stop laughing, it's pure gold. I'm looking for any other musicians in Adelaide looking to form the band Frogs on Crack!
Ross, so good to hear your voice on the waves again! You were fantastic a while ago when you filled in on the Breakfast Show and I always hoped you'd come back. Was SO disappointed to hear that Jay and The Doctor are now doing the breakfast shift. You and Terri would do a MUCH MUCH better job! I now fear for my entertainment during my long drive to work every morning!!
Come on Triple J management, listen to the people!!!!
We want Ross and Terri!!!!
Ross may like to hunt down an episode of H.R. Puffnstuff that features Witchipoo singing an entire song about how nothing rhymes with oranges. The chorus goes; Porringes, Borringes- nothing rhymes with Oranges!!!. Sid & Marty Kroft were way ahead of their time.
damn u guys makin me piss myself with your randomness hahahaha great to know a radio station will allow it , sooo wicked guys love your attitudes , im sure you have had alot of acid
Terri, My name is Mark, and I dont have the facilities to produce a song.
I would like to declare my intentions. I am a Civil Daeigner. I work in Brisbane, but am not averse to relocating to be with you.
I have heard your "Early" show, and like your style.
Ross, Terri, top work.
I have beel spotting my unmentionables with laughter.
DOWNLOADING NANNA...
Still having issues getting my nanna. It's getting desperate. We have a B&W nanna head thus far but it's fairly borange. She's in the Telstra van helping hubby out with some installations.
We'd really like nanna by the weekend to babysit the kids while we have our night of pleasure.
I remember the song about rhyming with orange as well, must check if my HR DVD has that episode!
I don't think Ross is a real Geordie.
He hasn't said 'Why Aye' once and he doesn't call Terri 'Pet' or 'Man'
As in ' Why Aye Terri Man, that song is Borrange'
Hahaha, I am having a "sneaky" listen on my heasdphones at work, everyone keeps looking at me weird cause I can't stop laughing.
I laugh so hard I cry, btw Terri you are a hottie. :)
i find ross to be very attractive
OH my GOD what will i listen too at work when you guys go off air.... I am the only one in the office at the moment and if i hadnt had you two to cackle at i think i would of resorted to listening to STAR FM in Bendigo .... Another question what will happen to the web site when you two go off air... i better download a nanna now ...i might make that the theme for my 40th everyone has to come dressed as nannas ha ha
Great show again Terri & Ross!! Would u like to see Nanna on the quiet beaches of the south coast NSW?? I am living in the Batemans Bay area and really like to laugh regularly along with u guys, so why can't they make it a permanent Gig!
Terri I am proffessional Trades person too! Great at making conversation and am looking forward to taking a beautiful women, namely YOU, out for dinner or just a quiet drink. Would like to chat & introduce myself first of course! So should you be interested you could look me up on hotmail msn magoorocks@hotmail.com.au
Keep up the great effort and I will stay up all night long when you go back to late nights just to hear your voice and jokes, lol!
Kind regards
Matt (mob#0405799294)
Ok straight to it... you guys are crap! It's like going into a timewarp for 4hrs back to the 80's - that can't be right! You talk about bad music constantly (that's why we listen to JJJ - to get away from it - not to be reminded of it every friggin second joke!). It's 2005 - still talking friggin royals, talking to children, nanna, big kev blah blah blah.. bejesus.. what is going on?! But alas, you guys do know that. Goodluck! Bring on J & The Dr.
I'm back - terri is hot and if I wasn't 40, overwright, past my best and married I would really go for her. I love you terri - why don't you 2 stick around?
mares - you probably ARE j AND the borange dr. You are the only ones who want them to leave. The rest of us love 'em
i have visited this website maybe once before in my life but had to get on and say how fantastic it has been to listen to your program. Combining Ross' excellent accent and insane mind and Terry's beautiful laughter has been bliss in one of the otherwise worst weeks in my life!! Sad to hear it is ending soon. Thank you so much and well done - i haven't smiled and laughed this much in ages! (... oh and i've been meaning to congratulate jjj on getting rid of the arvo show with Mel and whoever that dickhead was that used to do the show with her , oh Charlie, was it? thank you jjj. thankyou. it was rubbish - sorry, borange with a capital B and Mel is much better without him in the am)
Terri
Just read above comment from Mark in Brissy...... I am not sure if its the heat getting to him or what but the poor lad cant spell and has a continence problem ...hence i think he would be better off paired with nanna then they could at least share incontinence products. Always keep clear of men with weak bladders
damn funny show you got goin on! can't wait to see yr new show when you stop past adelaide.
on the band name thing, band names are brilliant, even if you have nothing to do with them. that's why my band changes it's name for every gig we play, even when we don't have gigs, we'll just change our name for the hell of it. we can even swap our name during a gig. it confuses people, but gives us something to do instead of important stuff. we have like two pages worth of names already.
today, our name is hot to trotsky.
don't know what it'll be tomorrow. that's the fun part.
the colin powell bit on yr sonic waffle CD, funniest thing i've ever heard.
hello Ross and Terri,
That theme music is great it sounds like a bad case of genital crabs goin to work on a pair of unsuspecting plums ( props to Ross).
Very much enjoying your show guys but i am now falling into a dark and troubled depression cause this is your 2nd and final week. Very sad.. do you think that like merrick and rosso you guys will end up being given loads of money to be funny (which you are) but play shit music for a commercial station?
lovin it guys i keep gettin trouble for not answering phones and having the radio up too load.
cheers Nic
Hey kids
Just a quick hi & to say that I love ross & terri's mild to moderate sarcastic styled humour, you both are a total laugh & you crack me up... but B'orange is not a new word for myself & many of my friends, as I had a cat called "seven" who was a red burmese who was basically orange in colour - so amongst his nicknames b'orange was quite big for him - not meaning "rubbish" but meaning "big orange cat" we called him "seven" in a drunken goth moment around the early 90's so ......... there you go... Andrea
Update - I love Ross & Terri but I have to say that I can't wait for Jay & the Doc - they will provide the most pisstaking & severe sarcasm I am looking for in my life. Ciao from the b'orange owner ... Andrea - ps: I also had a weird dream with Jay in it we were in "love" it was pretty sad/special- but I'm already married - so Jay stay out of my head - Drey... oh yeah & to "mares" they prob talk about 80s music because they have TASTE that stems from that era - but your mum prob only gave birth to you in 82 right?? The only thing positive I can say to you is that you possibly like Frenzal .... so just to enlighten you - ross & terri don't select the music they play - they prob play one or so tracks per shift that really reflects their taste. So just *uck off...
You guys rock, and thats saying something cos normally i'm too lazy to write in and say so.
Miquala rocks.
Terri rocks out loud.
Ross is Borange, in the best possible way i mean.
love the stickers.
Pity you can't keep the show going longer, but, shit happens.
Ross dude u look like jeff lang on the cedar grove cd cover!
Check it out, you've even got the same pose as on ur website pics!
nah, sorry man i retract that, lang is well-creepy looking! it must be my dodgey eyesight.
Triple J have rocks in their heads if they don't team you to guys up on a permanent basis...I haven't laughed so much since the Helen and Mickey days which probably isn't good because I have been driving a rather large vehicle whilst listening over the last week and bit .... Oh and I love theme song!!!!!
Andrea - I was born in '71 baby! & with regards to Frenzal - every song they've written sounds the same (sorry boys). With you on their humour tho - can't wait for their piss taking. I was referring to Ross' & Terri's constant boring pisstaking of the Australian Idol fodder amongst other crap "entertainers" that we would rather forget ever existed - I can't stand hearing their names on top of can't stand hearing their music (I'm sure you agree). As for the playlist... brilliant... that is why I listen to JJJ... & I do hope Ross & Terri like more than 1 of the songs they play on JJJ - otherwise they can F**k off and you can keep dreaming babe!
Hey Yall, Ross, u are tops, Terri is tops too. Borange Borange Borange, i cant get enough of it, or you two either, the void in my life has been filled by Ross, Terri, my many nana's now littering my house, and the knowledge that people like fairy laura live in my disrict. What a great country. Theft has a new, humourous meaning to it! Yay, we want you both!!
Far out, time to leave this webpage to the past...
"Jay & the Doc - they will provide the most pisstaking & severe sarcasm " hullooo dunno who I was listening too for that brief period before I decided it was super borange trash but it mustn't have been them becuase I never heard anything remotely funny or clever
and
also the people writing in to profess their love.... geez... whats that about!
and (night) mares ... who cares!
can you guys start a new page for non dweb fans and have a sensibiltiy code for entry?
Cudo's to the person who hung dirt on the Mel and Chralie show, I thought he was a super wanka too and yes, found a new found respect for Mel once she ditched him.
My biggest regret in life is only discovering your show in its last week. I beg JJJ to make Terri & Ross permanent. They are the best team in a long time. I am not ashamed to say I actually planned my schedule today around the show. Make Ross a permanent resident (against his will if need be) and make Terri Queen of Bromage. You're both legends. Why cant JJJ just put you on for breakfast then repeat the show for midday and afternoons?
I might have missed it if someone called this in to one of the shows but there was a Simpson's episode on last week entitled 'the worst episode ever' where comic book guy fell in love with Seymopur Skinners mother and they were out walking and saw a sunset, which niether were significantly interested in and while Seymours mum (don't know her name) said something fasectious about it, comic book guy replied by commenting on it being "bor-ange" This was episode 259. So... borange has another meaning - asomething that is orange and boring!
I've just created a petition to keep Ross and Terri permanently on Triple J.
go to: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/349312249 .
After having surfed the web for quite a bit of time. I thought it to be time for some light comedic relief. So I tuned my trusty computer into TERRY WOGAN on the BBC, and began to chuckle heartily. While on the BBC site i looked at comedy programs you can listen to. And guess what... Ross Noble Goes Global is available!. What I want to know ;is this exactly the same as the audio cd that you are charging a squllion quid for on your ROSS NOBLE site? And if so i promise not to tell anybody. Long live capitalism!
Guys,
sorry to burst your bubble, but borange has already been given meaning and song. YES IT IS TRUE. About 25-30 years ago a show called HR Puffenstuff, Terry, your too young and beuatiful to remember, but Ross, oh yes, ross looks old enough to remember. (don't ask precise time, I'm getting old enough to forget the good stuff and be bitter about the bad). Yes, witchypoo sang a song titled "oranges boranges"..."what rhymes with oranges.". DO YOU REMEMBER ROSS? did you Plgerise, um playdyoureyes, um, did you steal it???
It has been given meaning ie a word made up to rhyme with something you can't rhyme with!!!HA!
Pass me my zimmer frame, I gotta watch banana splits reruns, oh and those chimps from CHUMP.
regards Phill
Piss funny stuff. Ross and Terri have got to be a full time partenership on the Jays, anything less is just fade to borange.
Hello Team well done with simplicity and idle banter nothing beats a good giggle or a hearty laugh,We the listners would like a sit in for permanent residencey for the time slot.Go Team we all love the piss being taken out of context and the entirety,2weeks mutiplied by 26 now thats entirety,Borange
Re band names. Many years ago I went to a piss-up and music day in the Darwin Botanic Gardens. It was 5 bands for $5. Great day except of the all female band called Thrush! When they said they were about to play their last song, the whole place cheered. Gonna miss you tow 'cause you sure brighten up my bus each day, now the passengers will have nothing to take their minds off my crap driving.
Mares - my apologies for being a snakey bitch I am a '74 creation (you win), so I take back the '82 comment, it was pretty bitchy - but I must admit that I don't really listen to JJJ for the music as much as I do for the hosts - I find the playlist repetitive & unimaginative - I do, however, get pleasantly surprised, when listening & I hear Tool or The Pixies for example - as Wil has introduced to the younger listeners by playing 'Gigantic' amongst others (& Dylan Lewis played some Tool on Sat night just gone) - but apart from that I can quite easily turn the volume down in the car & get more stimulation from my 10 month old daughter gurgling... sad but true - being in Brisbane I find that listening to community radio 4ZZZ far more of a buzz - but hey, each to their own... And now to Zeb - well, sorry if Jay & the Doc's black-nailed cynicism is above your oh-so-serious, couldn't-find-anything-funny-about-them whine. Go and watch another episode of "Everyone Loves Raymond", you pathetic loser. As far as professing my love to Jay - hey I can't explain my dreams about dreadlocked boys - but maybe you can, because you're such a little biznatch - and that (night) mares thing was too much (you're about as funny as a child molestation charge). Your responses were lame, but you must have two dicks hey, coz it's impossible to wank that hard with just one - why don't you go listen to your Neil Hamburger CD's, you ignorant arseclown? And if any of the lucky listeners want to check out Zeb's girlfriend go to fat-sex-bbw-picture.com/ bbwpics/bbw_pic451.jpg! As for a sensibility code - WTF? It's a pity there's no minimum intelligence requirement to post on this site, or you'd be blocked. What you wrote was utterly nonsensical crap too, dickhead. I have spoken, kneel before me . . . RELEASE THE BATS!! GANGLIA!! RATS EAT BABIES!! THIS FESTERING SINKHOLE OF ANAEROBIC SLUDGE MOVES ME TO THE VERY DEPTHS OF MY BOWEL!! STOP WITH THE MOONING YOU DAMNED CHIHUAHUA!! TASTES LIKE CHICKEN!!
lol - im laughing at the things you were saying today now... and that is still now, not as in i just got the jokes now... ...
oh - and terri - im a normal person - you have my email address... ... ... ;)
Hi Everybody!! Does having pointed ears make me magic or satan?? Well a nun kicked me out of sunday school after my first day so Ive been battling with that ever since. Yes my ears are pointed... i dont need a fucking hat on a fridge or a deck of tarots.... Im a natural born phenomenon... and I like to think a good man (read elf) too since I work with children to paint wonderful murals with all the colours of the rainbow (possibly the paint contains fairy blood I just dont know!). You two have kept me entertained while painting a 50 metre long mural of young ladies playing netball in Caboolture, and listening to Ross has assured me that I am not insane :) Mind you what kind of bloke spends his time painting girls in short skirts at the local netball courts.... ummmm satan?
P.S My last girlfriend had claimed to be a fairy... but where were the wings??? I asked.. I pleaded... but she just wouldnt..... fairy??? I think not!
Call me at work (I need the damn publicity!)
0401 901 893
I couldnt find anyother way to contact you guys about Terri being dateless ;)
Terri you look so spunky and lovable and your voice is sweet.
I dont understand why you dont have a Boy Freind / husband.
If i were single, you would be in trouble.
And on another note ; Ross by the sound of your voice i thought you were the englishman from abc's Gardening Australia.
PS. I love teh Nanna pics. and you need to put a contact us link for both of you so i dont have to message you from a forum.
Cheers, ben
Ross and Terri you are legends and i wish you were staying on and even better with an arvo show. As a student nurse who works in aged care nanna can do some pretty weird shit but great work making nanna a cult symbol. Terri i hope you can find yourself a non-freakish man, the fact that a great chick like you isn't beaten em off with a stick doesn't say a lot about the male gender. Keep up the gr8 work you guys are borange!!!!!!
P.S. Loveday is the centre of the universe and it rules!!! (Thats the town that i live in with a huge population of 33 and 1/3 [approx.])
OK, so I'm naked, right? And just as I was thinking "Holy crap, this can't actually be happening to me, can it?", right on cue the girl says . . . oh, hang on, wrong site. Yeah, er, I like Ross and Terri. They're funny, and Ross reminds me of Dougal from 'The Magic Roundabout'. They don't play enough Nine Inch Nails. Terri reminds me of my old 8th Grade English teacher who I had a crush on, so I can't look at her picture without thinking I should be defining what a dangling participle is (ooer). Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Wipe hands on pants.
I haven't laughed at the radio this much since the old day's of Helen & Mikey and the Ladies Lounge!! You two have to stay!!! PLEEEEEASE? Thanks for the bumper stickers, I will put them on the car with pride!
Next week is certainly going to be borange:(
how come you two are not doing jjj breakfast, you truely rock! i wish i didn't live in perth so i could ring up but that means i might actually have to wake up before 10 and i'm a uni student on holiday's and lets face it there's no hope of that! any way just thought i'd write in to say michela's right your voice doesnt suit your head ross!! keep it up and i might just try that whole chalk murder outline in the caravan park i'm staying in laughs all round!!!!
I've listened to all the Borange songs posted so far, what talent! I love them all.
To hear DJ Macy's borange song "The Sound of Borange" check out Acid Planet from this link below.

Enjoy!
Greeting fellow boranges. How the borange are you. I like nanna's boranges very much. It goes well with the monkey borange. I'm currently soaking in a big pile of borange this minute. It feels very sexy! I can't wait to print out nanna so we can share the borange moments together.
PS. Great show. Now where's my borange I put it around here somewhere.
You guys are fantastic, keeps me laughing, great show! Ross, I imagined you with long dirty brown hair with blonde streaks, you ACTUALLY look just like Alice Cooper on the front cover of his "Goes To Hell" album. I think you could ask Hot Hot Heat to do a remix of their song Bandages and change to Boranges, Boranges, Borangessss! i feel sorry now for that teacher from Orange now! As for Nanna, I think a trip on the buses, trains, ferries is in order, just prop her up against one of those inconsiderate people who are younger than Nanna (YTN) who will not give up their seat for an elder person and just intimidate the crap out of them! here is something funny to do in the studio-pop an undissolved Berocca tablet straight into your mouth, I did this by mistake a few weeks ago, incredible feeling follows mixed with laughter and much frothing at the mouth. Next trick-Terri press your forefinger parallel against Ross's forefinger then with the other hand using your thumb to stroke up and down your forefinger and your forefinger to stroke up and down Ross's forefinger, do this at the same time, stroking gently, it is widely believed to feel like a deceased person, truly! My ideal foursome would be you guys with John Saffron and Father Bob!
Ross - I'm granting you Honorary Australian Citizenship. You've earnt this accolade through your efforts in raising the level of laughter in the Australian populace, through your work in the media, namely Triple J. By the power vested in me by Big Kev and Nanna - Pete G - Registrar of Borange.
Terri - top stuff!
Cheers & thanks guys.
Is it too late for Ross & Terri to get the 05 breakfast slot?
Can someone with access to an A3 printer/photocopier (or larger) print out the Nana and assemble a Gigantor-Nana?

Okay I only red the first 100 or so comments and skipped the rest, so if I repeat something someone has laready said, thats just too bad.
In reference to yawning being contagious. Apparently children under the age of five do not 'Catch' yawns off other people. It is a learned response which requires a level of intellifence. So if you are one of those people who says that you don't catch yawns, well...
I agree that you guys are some of the funniest radio to come out of the JJJ stables in a long time. The reference that puts you on par with Helen and Mikey is spot on too. JJJ has been in steady decline for awhile buy you guys might just turn it around.
ross, your head does indeed not match your voice but i'm learning to live with it (your voice that is, not your head. i already have one of those, which i keep in a box under my bed).
terri, you are an oasis of calm in the face of the constant stream of obtuse ramblings that emanate from ross's head, wherever it may be.
together, the pair of you are perfect.
please stay.
igneous rocks!
Oh my god! Am I illiterate or what? Read, not red. It's my typing, not my spelling, I swear.
Can i have my nanna back please?
pineapples from the dawn of time- band/not a band?
I wish you could stay! You are so funny that I am listening over the Net in The Netherlands in the middle of the night while having to get up for my teaching job in a few hours! I miss Australia, but listening to JJJ takes me right back and eases my pain. Please take the morning slot! Ross, If you can't Justin will do too (although you accent is waaayyyy cooler).
LOVE your work
Greetings from dutchieland :)
Terri, congrats on your efforts of keeping up with Ross's stories when he is going off in a dozen different directions! His mind is like a whirlpool of smashing ideas and high jinks just bursting to get - all at once. I imagine it might be like trying to harness a bunch of high spirited brumbies and getting them all going in one direction...yes difficult indeed but what fun!!
I was'nt a regular JJJ listener but was lucky enough to stumble upon them while driving to Perth on my way back from holiday. Now I am a devoted listener, but only between 10am and 2pm. This is when I am at my most un-productive at work as it happens... Sneaky but highly successful marketing this will be for your tour Ross, can't wait to see your show.
You Guys should have a permanent shift on the J's!! Last few weeks have been brilliant, great laugh great music. You show up those other so called (contrived, commercial) radio teams for what they are - Complete Tossers!!! Cheers!!
My cats have been trying to eat my Nanna. They started nibbling at her legs as she hung helplessly from the wall.
I think I may have to put her into a nursing home for her own protection. I hope noone thinks this heartless of us, we looked after her for a day, but she does indeed smell of piss and biscuits and its time for her to go now.
Have been listening to the J's since there was only two of them and must there have been some great hosts. And the two of you rate up there with the best tomorrow will be a sad day, which will needed to be washed away in an alchol blur. Forget J and the doc, give me Terri and Ross. You guys leave eveyone else for BORANGE.
I love Terri's laugh and Ross's accent, you would think he is talking a basic version of English, when out pops these 3/4 syllable words which really are only 1/2 syllable words! such as "roaod" for 'road" Just enhancing the English language hey Ross! trying to impress us Aussies! Sounds good though makes you seem more intelligent or something, Terri you are doing really well to compose yourself in there, I would be pissing myself all the time. Hi from Perth.
nanna suggestion, still the helium baloons. but released by BIG KEV at the BIG DAY OUT. eh EH! oh ross still want to do woodcut of your head, and terri NOT A PHYSCO. My lovely head is in the nanna pic with the ventriloquist dummies at the wedding( im the smashed up one, unable to tell the story due to parental pressure), GEAR
dr bongo
Fairdinkum how can you all reckon these two are tops and should stay on permanantly???? Sorry but we have to give some negetive feedback here - Terry and Ross please stop mindlessly crapping on and just play the tunes!!! I really do'nt want to turn over to another station but we cant stand it anymore - I and my workmates cant wait for Mel to start back again - Sorry Ross and Terry you just did'nt cut it - at least appreciate our honesty.
In an episode of HR Puff 'n' Stuff the witch sings a song with the chorus:
Oranges. Boranges. Who says...
Oranges. Boranges. Who says...
Oranges. Boranges. Who says there aint no rhyme for oranges.
isnt it interesting how tony considers himself to be many people at once?
Spent last week up the Murray River to find only bad JJJfm reception, until we heard you guys one day and laughed our heads off, we thought you were a once off thing until a few day later we picked you up again, stoked. Needless to say the rest of our holiday was spent driving through the bush between 10am and 2pm to get better reception in a hot car in 40 degree heat ! STAY ON WE NEED YOU. Crackers you two crackers
Nanny needs to be randomly sent overses. Maybe Tsuanami relief? she could be luggage, economy class or 1st class depending on donations.
Hey Ross & Terry,
Great work.

Last year our own nanna came to stay with us in Qld from SA. We did the Nanna thing but had to do some photoshop. But, she had to do the pose.
go to www.patandkarin.com and click on extreme nanna.
P.S. or a world trip, wish u were here etc.
Ok best idea, send nanny to a brothel or strip club
Ok ill stop now, im turning into one of those freaks, but if u find nanny, u should give here the nanny, and everyone whose made one should give it to here, hehe and then she has an army of nanny clones.
P.S. Everyone asked about terri's lumps but wat about ross'? Im here for u
I wsih you gyus wree on etehir brfakesat or divre. I olny get to ltsein wehn I'm in the car and tehn it's olny sorht tiprs. Fntsaaitc, fnuny, lfteid my srtipis. I hpoe you get a gig drniug the day. All the bset.
You guys are hilarious, thanks for giving me a reason to procrastinate - I should be doing uni work. By the way, Ross when and where are you going for your tour, would love to come and watch, please come to Wollongong.
Cheers.
PS Get in touch with Sony and Microsoft - new game - Finding Nanna, or possibly get in touch with Disney for a movie of the same title.
I googled "how to make something fly with helium balloons" and got this page.

I've been listening to you through my walkman headphones whilst using my computer at work. You're right, everyone else that hasn't discovered this form of entertainment are absolute borange!
Unfortunately, I keep chortling & get weird looks from the people around me while they're discussing something boring like, ways to make our work easier, etc. I'm getting sore stomach muscles from trying not to laugh too loudly, I laughed so hard yesterday that tea came out my nose.
Thanks for making my day go so quickly.
Lisa, Perth.
I gave my boyfriend a box of gnomes so he could smash them up and then glue them back together (the wrong way) and have red paint trickling down from the cracks like blood - they were misshapen mutated Frankengnomes!
hey ross and terri!
I've been in bet sick for the last two weeks, and so have had the pleasure of you guys destracting me from Dr Phil and the like - Thanks
Its a shame you guys won't be sticking around for a permanent show, I'd like to hear more about things 'vaguely cambodian' and other such tales.
