Well from an Aussie point of view, bugger is not oly a foul word but it is extemely bad; and the act of buggery is something i would not discuss with too many people.. However lets just say it brings a long gaol (jail) sentence in this country and it its to do with soddomy and i think animals are involved but i'm not sure of the exact details. However when it comes down to every day use it is a "household" word here in Aus and I used it myself many times, untill i found out roughly what it means and if Rene closed us all down i wouldn't blame her. This business of dividing the country up does vary from place to place even when in the same country. It becomes even more complex when you have three levels of politics as do we. It also becomes more complex when you get really official, like in court documents; they bring parishes and all that sort of stuff, in a country where less than 25 % of the people believe in god. It is also very complex if you own land to describe exactly where it is again parishes are involved and many other things to do with surveying I live in Kawana Island, which is part of the City of Caloundra, which is part of the Sunshine Coast in the State of Queensland, Australia. Before I retired i lived in Chipping Norton, which was part of the City of Liverpool, which in turn was part of the Greater City of Sydney in the Sate of New South Wales, Australia. Hope this helps. But any way that not the reason I am on the Forum mates, it is to wish everyone everywhere a Happy and prosperous new year. Excpet for New Zealand, Australia seems to get it first and we hope that all who get it at any time get all the good luck we wish ourselves Regrds Ian and Doreen
