Nice gesture there, Mate. I'd stand you to a pint of Fosters anytime. But we Colonists tend to be rancorous- remember in your history lessons the Boston Tea Party when we told King George 111 to take his taxes and stick them up his Royal arse? No progress is made by civilized peoples, only by insurrectionists, according to Marx and Lenin- Your colony was Great Britain's dumping ground for rebels and prisoners back in time, was it not? And what is a stickbeak? A hummingbird who got his bill caught in the syrup water perhaps? G'Day!!
