See guys this all gets back to my old hobby horse of different words and statements mean different things in different countries; and what can be an act of friendship can be misconstrued as an insult. I know Troy pretty well and he has a very good family life and occupation and life in general and it is unlikely that he would say anything hurtful to anyone. <br /> <br />So blokes lets always assume the best and treat what just about every one of the regulars say as an act of friendship. <br /> <br />Look at the word *** (you can delete this if you like Erik but it is not a swear word in this country) we use it all the time and it is a term of friendship. Most of the English speaking world absolutely deplore the American use of the words root and fanny, they are absolutely so rude you would get a punch in the mouth if you used them in mixed company in this country and in most English speaking countries. These very rude words you Americans use all the time and i truly think that you should stop it.you might say they are not rude words in this country but thats not the point much of what is in the American media is also broadcast internationally. <br /> <br />Not only do you use these rude words in mixed company but you even sing about them and i refer directly to "Take me out to the ball game" and "The theme from The Nanny. <br /> <br />I understand this new word of Joes quite well considering my surname; it is a super word relating to Bullsht. <br /> <br /> <br />rgds ian <br /> <br />PS Well i guess you wont be hearing from me for a while after i get censured.
