ACMESkydiver 0 #26 April 23, 2007 I LOVE your sig line! Uh, well, I mean in theory anyhow...seeing as I gave up drinking coffee for my health...really I did. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumpy 256 #27 April 23, 2007 Well i recently discovered the best coffee i ever had in my life here in new zealand - Wellington to be precise. I understand the first part of beating an addiction is to admit it: "My name is Dave, and I am a coffee addict" (It doesn't help that my company has a full on professional espresso machine in the employees kitchen area and you are allowed to help yourself...)

dorbie 0 #31 April 26, 2007 Quote Quote To the poms... How many times do I have to tell you guys. Its POHM, as in: Prisoner Of Her Majesty. Etymology does not a definition make and the one you offer is considered false by scholars and the OED. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pommy#Pommy http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pom Here is a better Australian reference (I've understood these to chiefly refer to the English, same with Limey): http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html#P You will see that "Pom, pommy" is correctly listed beside "Pommy bastard", all of which mean "Englishman", but my favorite definition though is: "Pommy shower : using deodorant instead of taking a shower" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We also call Poms "SOAP DODGERS" The old joke goes "Where do you hide your money when Poms come visiting....Under your soap" You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
