Edit ps
Phil , I hate all Ozzies too , see my remark re corrugated iron .
That’s OK, Mike. We have a ‘Keep Australia beautiful, send a Pommie back’ campaign going on right now… 
Phil ,
One of my visiting nurses was just here , she comes from Oz .
I asked her why she left Oz , and she said there’s too many Poms there , but not a lot in England–it’s full of immigrants instead .
She is so right .
I live in a small white enclave .
There ain’t many left .

Mike,
Try using a smiley or two. Sometimes with that dry English humor, us Yanks may have problems trying to figure out if you are serious or joking.

You will know when I get serious .
And I cannot stand the use of smileys .
Mike (not angry or anything)

Mike,
I think I can tell when you are joking. But, not everyone can.
I’ll spare you the “smileys”.
Have things warmed up across the pond yet? Still cold as crap here.
Ralph
Hey , Ralph,
There’s a queue of brass monkeys outside the welder’s shop , but apart from that it’s not too bad.
Mike
I take it the welder sells brass spheroids?
And hangs them too , Steve .

We’re all " Yanks" to those across the pond. Or so I’ve heard
I didn’t say I was a Yankee
This Rebel wasn’t born in Dixie, but will die there.

Ralph ,
To “Yank” is to pull something sharply . Like your leg .
I prefer to use the word “colonist”. I love my colon .

There you go again with that “dry English humor”. Are you implying that we “colon”-ists are just a little above being Rectumists? If so, I take great offense but just can’t come up with anything cleaver that works with Brits or Engs.

Well . you may be a little above Rectumists , but a long way from being Dicks .

I’ve have a “Cleaver”, but I think most of us are brave enough to spar with words, rather than to draw blood with such a sharp object…now, if all of us were “Clever”, we wouyld all know the different forms of “There”, like there, their, and they’er, and maybe even to, two, and too…but I have no hope for that…not even the proper use of would and wood…
Now, as far as names and name calling…I’m inclined to only be offended, when I’m not called for dinner, by any name in anyone’s book.
…now to spell check, and hope I’m not making too few mistakes !!!
This can’t be called DRY Canadian humour…as my feet are in a tub of warm water, and I’m slowly filling my cavities with a good Merlot, that is of the dry variety, but very moist…!!!
…I’m just a lost “Colonial Boy”…lost in an aeroplane, looking for an aerodrome that I left my automobile parked at…I do hope the snow plough has cleared the roads and colour will return to my limbs, when I fire up the gasoline engine, and get some heat. My gloves are in the boot, and I don’t think I can get the bonnet open if the engine doesn’t fire up.
I wonder if there is a telephone I could use at the aerodrome ?
Now; where was I going when I started writting this…oh yes…I did have a demanding urge to vist a small room down the hall, where there are a few books, beside a throne…please, do excuse me…
