Alan what you need is a dictionary of NZ slang maybe somebody in NZ could
tell you how to obtain one .
chook I am not sure which sense he is usng this but i take it silly fool
would be a reasonable translation
bickie is money. Big bickies heap of cash. Small bickies Petty cash or small
change.
hope this helps MALCOLM.
