Explain more about this buggering thing.

It is an entirely bizarre thing.

A country that puts a sticker on their car (10 years ago) saying BUGGER!
Because it came off a cute automobile advertisement featuring an Australian cattle dog. Well no, the dog wasn't doing anything er.......

People need to look in the dictionary before declaring 'well bugger me'

Hey Charlie, definitely a 'top' long weekend. We are spoiled rotten with our riding choices and the generally almost non existent traffic.
We pretty well covered all the surface options for riding this trip 'eh!
I had a good time, forever impressed with mother nature on a grand and minute scale.
Most of my pics are similar to yours, so I'll leave it at that.
How many sleeps till the next one?

Ah now Neil, you are forgetting our heritage. Recall that there was a time when men were convicts or soldiers and women were knot-holes in gum trees. Since gum trees don't have very nice knot-holes, some blokes may have resorted to other options in times of need.

Rum, Buggery and The Lash were what made Australia great.

Many books of quotations include a caustic quote attributed to Winston Churchill (1874-1965) in which he supposedly called British naval tradition nothing but “rum, sodomy, and the lash.” (Sometimes given as “rum, buggery and the lash,” using the old British slang term “buggery” to refer to homosexual sex.)
The earliest source commonly cited for this quip is the diary of former British diplomat, politician and author Harold Nicolson (1886-1968).

In a diary entry dated August 17, 1950, Nicolson recorded some anecdotes about Churchill.

One involves a version of the “rum, sodomy, and the lash” quote.

But the version Nicolson wrote about that day included “prayers” in the litany. His diary entry says:

…when Winston was at the Admiralty, the Board objected to some suggestion of his on the grounds that it would not be in accord with naval tradition. ‘Naval tradition? Naval tradition?’ said Winston. ‘Monstrous. Nothing but rum, sodomy, prayers and the lash.’


This is why some books of quotations give the alleged Churchill quote as “rum, sodomy, prayers and the lash.”

I'm good with rum.

So with the English it's "bloody" when they want to get strong affect. Do you guys every say bloody bugger?

That would be uncomfortable ..... but I think you're talking about the Rum Corps, a scabby little skeleton in our cupboard.

Fuck-bloody-bum-shit is about as far as you ever want to go when combining expletives ZM. Adding bugger would just be plain uncouth!

Hey fellas looks like I missed a great run. Just makes me more determined to get to away in May.

SteveC and I are escaping to Rylestone Pub tomorrow after work. I think its only about 300kms(?) Meeting a bunch of riders coming from Sydney. Should be fun though might be a wet run with storms forecast.

cheers

Right! how many of you blokes haven't had a colonoscopy yet?

Just thought I'd try and change the subject.
