Ois: Ahhh, different meanings of words. I remember concerning visiting English relatives by making them wait while "I find my other thong".

Ahh!
Thong as in flip flops (not g-string or posh pants)?
If I asked for durex in Australia I'd get selotape correct?

I don't know if they still make the Whispa chocolate bars in the UK, but I can assure you, you most likely won't want a Whisper product sold over here =)

Oh Oh! I only had a Whispa last week. Put me out of my misery and explain what I'd get in Japan.

Sellotape (the brand) can be found, but you'll likely be pointed to a 3M's 'Scotch Tape' or generic masking/sticky-tape product if you ask for it.
I think Durex is either related to sexual health or condom brand here.

Ahh ok, I always remember Jasper Carrot (Comedian) doing a sketch about buying durex in Australia and being asked how long it needed to be!
Anyway, more importantly I won't be able to eat a Whispa bar ever again.

frostcircus: Both shows were kind of weird when it came to British slang; in an early Angel episode Wesley jokingly calls Angel a 'wanker.' There's no way the character would do that (at least not at that stage); it's far too strong an insult.

Gotta say I disagree, wanker is a very mild term indeed.

Agreed.
Given that I'll call friends c*nts, wanker is just friendly banter, unless shouted with other various swearwords.

You know, when I first read the title I thought Valve changed the pricing structure for Steam so Europeans wouldn't get a terrible deal anymore. But now I see that it's just box art for L4D2.

Pfft, who needs to swear to insult your best friends? One of my best friends is from norway so I tend to describe him as something like "a longboat driving, stinking, drunken, viking fish-rapist"
Seems to get the job done

Does he complain that you don't drive a longboat, you sail one?

Yes and then I call him a pedantic predatory paedophile ponce because I enjoy alliteration

This just made me think of:
Phil Collins says, "I'm talking nonce sense".
Tried to find the video, can't. Damned internets.

Navagon: It seems Valve have picked up on this, and now our zombies are thinking they're Winston sodding Churchill.

What's the Churchill reference? I am ignorant. :)
