GF,

Wot he said.

The general view amongst America's fellow-travellers is that when the Seppos (ie. you lot) are about and their safetys are off,

DUCK!

Wonder what the f/a would've made of it if the pax had come out with "Fair dinkum... Sounds like I get the rough end of the pineapple again. Just don't come the raw prawn with me, love, or spin me a yarn, or I'll knock ya block off!" (or "... I'll rip ya bloody arms off" if Ms Reynolds was an Aunty Jack fan )


Chadzat,

Isn't the expression, "a face like a smacked ar5e"?

Or more elegantly (and one of my grandfather's favourites), "Looks like a bulldog that's had nettles rammed up its chuff"...
