In this country (NZ) we seem to hear 'rolling' from people who have
been trained at uncontrolled airfields and seem to bring that with

generally say it until we get to an uncontrolled airfield..

Do you say anything prior to the take-off? If so, what do you add by
saying "rolling"? (If not, I can understand why you'd say it,
although by the time you _are_ rolling, it's a bit late to warn anyone
who might be in your way.)

At an uncontrolled field, basically what you're up to...

taxi 02
lining up and rolling 02

Which is what we are supposed to do, although I have been for a very
scary flight in a Cherokee Charger at Raglan where the dude made no
radio calls the whole trip, did no run-up, climbed with the stall
warning lit up the whole way up, on a very very rough day, did his
circuit the wrong direction, then slammed it on the runway and skidded
sideways to a stop. I think he was quite pleased with himself..

Don't worry, the same thing happens at Wigram too - in fact there's a
dude there that's gonna get his arse busted one day by CAA (someone will
complain), or... he'll take someone out. When *he* wants to fly, he
just cranks it up and rolls away (no runway req'd! - just nails it.
