Hope this clears up any confusion, and it's been nice knowing you all, I can see me getting banned for this........LOL...being an American forum, and all!

Tell ya what, T, the way things are going at the moment it looks like we could use as many friends as we can get
Bill Clinton said over the weekend that over half the world is mad at us (U.S.) so seppo is fine. I guess since both our countries are Great Britain's throw-offs, we should be the world's bastard children, anyway!
i'd rather have 5 Aussies at my back and sides than 100 of anybody else! You guys know how to fight dirty and I just LOVE that quality in a person!!
BTW, How about shedding some light on "Digger". I've got a general idea but never got it from the horse's mouth. Oh, and another thing: According to my wife and kids I do a fine imitation of a septic tank, so I guess i resemble that!
