Must have missed that one! How do some people survive the winters in the UK with such thin skin? (come on Owen you can find the thread)

"Mate" in Australia is a term of endearment which has grown deeper through the "mateship" experienced by the troops who fought in wars.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
