Probably like singing hymns without a prayer book. Perhaps the enthusiastic use crib sheets.

No you do not have to sing this shite , the game is stand in front of a picture Betty in a crowd and say an oath to her then off to try and get as much drink and food as you can grab to make up for wasting $120.




:D :cool: :beer:

Interesting point...who really are the Poms???

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island...hmmm

Is it the amalgam or the component...English, Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish...???

Is it time for a new definition...??? Is pomegranate outdated...??? Was it those Irish lags who used it first to descibe their keepers...??? Bitter that they were transported for breathing English air.

Who knows...??? Is it time for an update...??? Does a Brit transform to Pom...only after significant whingeing? What does a Scot transform to if they likewise start the long whine...?

So many questions...Any Answers???

I reckon any UKanese whiner is fair game if they step into Aus.

Whining by English immigrants can be anticipated and hence all English immigrants can be called Poms until proved otherwise.

I have seen some very fair goes by those claiming Welsh'ness. I remain concerned that Pom is not adequate in these circumstances. Suggestions?

Well, we should give them a bit of room, think what you'd be like if you had to live so close to so many blood thirsty weedling whiners for so long.

Perhaps for those poor beggars who have been seriously unhinged by it all, "Madog" or the alternate spellings "Madoc" & "Madok"?

No point in offending the weak sex so better include "Madrun" or "Maderun".
