He started again a couple of days ago to coincide with the 20/20 games and one dayers in Sri Lanka. My Boony keeps abreast of the cricket where ever the Aussies are playing. The litle bugger cranks up all hours of the night and day. My little bloke has been talking on and off for over 5 years and only one change of batteries about three years ago.

I haven't heard a peep out of him for over two years but he's back. I guess it was bound to happen now that we have a Beer playing for Australia.

This time around it happens in the middle of the night and very early morning. Mine has been chatting away regularly now for the past week or so asking for a VB or a nacho and repeating the "word of the day". A mate's original Boony sprang back to life at the same time as mine. This did seem to coincide with the Aussies playing in the West Indies. Is that possible? Go Boony ... and the Aussie team !!! Boony update May 28th 2008

Warnie may well be able to make anything turn but nothing can shut up ODI Boonie - the original and the best. (How's that beer going?)

No push button, and I have been unable to decipher a single Warnie remark due to its cruddy volume. I did like Boony Mk II, but nothing compared with the fascinating beeps and the ensuing discussion here of the one-and-only original Talking Boony. I am very disappointed with Warnie.

We have all been ripped off it seems. Putting Warnie near the TV is pointless.

The original Boonie captivated audiences with his mysterious inner workings and the 'fresh' sayings. The Boonie (MkII) & Beefie were appealing because they were pre-hacked, and interacted with each other. Then came Warnie... To start with, (1) I can't even hear what he is saying, his volume is much quieter than his predecessors'. (2) He was well over priced, around $30 with some 'unique code' from a carton. Now I am seeing him handed out at my local bottle-o for no charge at all - Still over priced (in my opinion). So clearly there is no uniform pricing policy, which only cheapens him. (3) Finally the instructions suggests positioning him near (within 2-3m or something) the TV, well beyond the fact that I cant hear him from that distance, these instructions appears to have no effect. No tones from the TV, nothing that seems to make him mumble more frequently at all. WARNINE is no substitute for the nacho loving Boonie.
