Well, I'm feeling a bit intimidated, but I will nonetheless step into the Brit-speakers' enclave and proffer my own congrats, my friend.

Emanuela, stales is a Striner. He can't help it. It's not, as Jackie implied - well, stated - Britspeak, it's Ozspeak.

Advance, Australia. Please.

The pleasure is all mine. As it will be Waugh's, no doubt. Still, funnier things have happened, no?

More or less, wow, more or less. Hopefully more than less. Or at least, less than Waugh or less for Waugh!

emanuela - allow me to spring to my own defence....(but thanks Cap K for attempting a reply on my behalf).

"wall thangya, thangya" was ekshoolly my ELVIS impersonation!!!

Why insert an Elvis accent at that particular point? No idea. No reason. None whatsoever. Just seemed like the thing to do at the time.

Please don't be confused. If there's no logic at the source, there's no need to try to read any into it. Sort of like modern art and avante garde plays really.
