OMG. How the Firetruck can people honestly be that stupid? And how the hell is that Yell Pages thnig supposed to work exactly? Also, where did the 'nick name' Pommies come from? I've not heard that before. David Wulff dwulff@battleaxesoftware.com
I suppose the idea is that if she stands in a - no, wait, too much detail. The name Pommie is usually attached to the term whinging, I dunno if that gives any clue to it's origins. Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet. Men with pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought Jewellery.

Well, I would, but I fear if I was banned for a month or so, I'd lose my status as most prolific CP poster... My theory involves gravity.

I believe it would take a year or two for anyone to even get close to your posting figure. I think I may have a line on the gravity theory, I won't spell it out, not in fear of getting banned but upsetting fellow visitors. I mentioned the word Porn the other day without detail and upset someone greatly and Chris is still studiously ignoring me. X| How's that for a Pit Bull attitude Chris?

I mentioned the word Porn the other day without detail and upset someone greatly Did you really ? ( Upset someone, not mention pron ) Why has everyone suddenly gone for this footnote style of posting where comments are made in unreadable fonts ? I can only assume Vegemite is good for your eyesight... Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet.

So good in fact rabbits have turned to a life of crime to fund their Vegemite habit. :-D Also I think it makes people stop and concentrate on what is being said. I blame Paul Weston for it, it seems to be a South African Third World plot. ;P Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join.

OMG. How the Firetruck can people honestly be that stupid? And how the hell is that Yell Pages thnig supposed to work exactly? I really don't know, that one intrigues me greatly. Also, where did the 'nick name' Pommies come from? I've not heard that before. Australians are Aussies Americans are Yanks English are Pommies or Poms That's the way it has been since I was born, all Auusies refer to the English as Poms. Funny thing is I always thought that you were a Pom and so was Norm Almond. Where are you from David? Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong.

Michael From Websters: pom·my or pom·mie (pm) n. Australian & New Zealand Offensive Slang pl. pom·mies Used as a disparaging term for a British person, especially a recent immigrant. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Shortening and alteration of pomegranate, Pummy Grant, alterations of Jimmy Grant, probably rhyming alteration of immigrant.] Hey that means half of Australians are pommies - right? ;)

"And how the hell is that Yell Pages thnig supposed to work exactly" I have discussed this with my collegues and we think that it only works if:- One partner stands on a yellow pages jumps up and down drinking milk other partner in bath/boat with eyes shut drinking rum and coke :confused:

Australians are Aussies Americans are Yanks English are Pommies or Poms plus of course Frogs for the French. Japs for the Japanese (though I don't recommend saying that to a samurai wielding one, likely to get your dangly bits cut off and hung from a pole). What about other parts of the world? So far, apart from "bloody useless bunch", I have never heard a similar term for us South Africans. I was once called an Aussie but sorted out that terribly insulting mistake very fast ;P Does the world have names for other countries? Just interested, see how many insulting terms humanity has come up with (I omitted a couple above for fear of having more than just my dangly bits cut off) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." - Chretien Malesherbes

No, generations have spent years in the Aussie sun and this has washed all Pommyness out of us. Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone
