If someone thinks Australia is crap and vents, so what? No skin of my nose.

I don't think people did get angry at him for that though. I think he got angry that most people didn't agree with him. That was the problem that I saw.
He used to label me as one of those that never saw the bad side of Aus and wore rose tinted glasses. Yet I would probably say that I bitch more about Aus than I praise it, but I feel I do it with a lot more balance and reason than he does

I've been called a godzoner and an Aus knocker on here, as well as a few other things!:lol:

Kporte,

Why is your avatar an image of “Arsy” Darcy, well known man about town and best chum of “Bigboy”Bigham? :)

I must admit to liking old Creepy myself. Anyone who pops up and insults everyone has got to be good fun in a rough bar. :)

And kindly leave Miss Benett out of this. She promised me a gallop around the parade ground. :)

That is actually me. I am a dead ringer for old Col. not sure I like the outfit though.
My Dearest Elizabeth is NOT that kind of girl! I am being careful though, as a lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment.

Well you are wearing her pantaloons around your neck old sport…. So the outfit might be a bit uncomfortable, not to say smelly.

Jane never wrote about anyone taking a shower did she? When she mentioned “taking the waters in Bath" she meant stealing the Evian.

Miss Bennett’s mind flips from admiration, to trousers, to wallet in a second, and then she is off…

I don’t trust the girl, and that’s a fact.

She'll be a goer though, I'd wager. Anyway, I cannot fix on the hour, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.

Dammit sir, you well know of her close association with Colonel Brandons Privates!

The whole Regiment has left its senses.

I'm not entirely clear why he was originally banned.

...Remind me - what was his name back then? :unsure:

Funny though, I notice you and Pee Wee Herman aren’t in the same room together either.:)

Now me and Daniel Craig aren’t even on the same hemisphere at the same time, which suggests something….
