THIS is why I love my country

Here's an ad for Toyota [^]in Australia. Bugger is a word that has many meanings. It's the context that is important. Just like the word 'bastard' which can be used in so many ways. anger: You bastard difficulty: It's a bit of a bastard to get done friendship: How're ya goin' ya ugly bastard? intelligence: He's a smart bastard plural : What are you bastards up to? It goes on and on (and on...) cheers, Chris Maunder

Hmm, I'm guessing as one of them says "phew, bugger me" that it implies that you do indeed take the same meaning as I would. Maybe it's just considered less offensive over there, or something (though again, it's context - someone saying "bugger me" to a child would be totally different) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Surely it's a small child with a magnifying lens.. -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Either you've got a far dirtier mind than me, or we're talking cross purposes here :~ and believe me, I can find inuendo in anything, given half a chance.. -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

No, I didn't. I've always tried to preserve life than to take it. :) The only creatures I make an exception for are wasps because they're nasty little psychotic stripey bastards. ;) Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

I didn't know that but it strikes me that the perfect answer is Guinness. :beer: Try "going on a bender" after a few pints and you'll see what I mean! After that, all they'll be good for is pizza and kebabs... ;) Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk
