Welcome Alfred Smile

It's good that you feel that way, imo. Smile Glad to have you aboard. Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

People do bad stuff. I try not to myself.

You think it's ok to be bad too?

Quote:Are we supposed to be kissing his ring or something?

Aussies find that phrase hilarious.

Here 'ring' is slang for 'rectum'

---as are 'date' and 'quoit'.

Usually we just say 'bum' or 'arse' (an ass is a four legged animal,like a donkey)

Welcome your Holey Popery.

Thanks mate! Exactly the same usage applies in the UK, except for 'date' and 'quoit' which we only use literally - but I'll now add them to my repertoire. Wink

Do you Aussies use 'chocolate starfish' or 'rusty sherrif's badge'?

Welcome Pope. By your mere presence I am converted to being a religious zombie. I thank you your holiness, your immense 'specialness'.

Yup, comparing Marmite to shit is indeed a gross insult to the human digestive system. Sorry I ever mentioned it. Let's think about something pleasant, like the long-dead polecat which a friend of mine once slipped into some git's tent. FSM Grin
