What say we nominate shanks to be an antipodean whipping-boy? He may even enjoy it.

A--HEM, C.K. and Max:
In order to whip my sweet shanks, you will each, both, separately or together, have to whip me first.
Furthermore, I would advise caution: my tigress instincts are on a hair-trigger.

Guess who's been to Washington, guess w-h-o-o-o-'s been to W-a-s-h-i-n-g-t-o-n! And come back power crazy. How's DC, Mrs Smith? You've obviously been appointed the Secretary of Justice! .

Is this a general invitation? or does it only apply to C-K and Max?

I try not to reveal too much of myself on this (or any other) board, but this sounds like an offer that I can't turn down!

I am not a masochist, thank you for that kind thought. That was not an invitation, nor a threat: it was a promise.
Woe betide any who threatens the well-being of one I love.

This Londoner (ex-Mumbaikar) thinks the whole lot of you are off your rockers. Am willing to take credit for loosely placed zeroes, though - proud of the fact that it was developed in India! And Jackie for Secretary of Justice any time: its quality will not be strained and it will be twice blessed, dropping as the gentle rain from heaven... (one more for your files, JazzO)

I would have thought this was axiomatic?

"If the cap fits - -" eh, shanks?

Jackie cracked wise I thought Alice was busy Springing Australia.

When you mentioned this one to me, Jackie it was the first time I had ever heard it. Perhas because even here in NZ, the town is much more often referred to simply as Alice, and never as Alice Springs, Australia. Alice of course is in the dead heart, that 80% of Oz which inspired the famous question, "why do seagulls fly upside down over Australia?"
