the thread is diverted into a bit of pommy bashing followed by a discussion about Olympic athletes.
very much tongue in cheek for my part there, a great colleague, business partner and mate of mine who went by the nickname 'Possum' was a pom, and very sadly fell off the perch just recently.
He was certainly some sort an athlete in the amber nectar area, but with great stoicism and courage he told the quack to shove the extra treatment for the sake of a few extra months or maybe a couple of years.
He had left England as a youing fella (with some friendly advice from the local constabulary I might add), drove great big bull-dozers in west Oz to get a stake together to then learn rotary in Florida. Then back to the NT for a job.
He'd have had quite a chuckle at someone trying to work out the diff between girlie and girl in the cross.
