Person from England as referred to by a person from Australia.

Known for their extensive wingeing, soap aversion and second rate cricketing abilities! :p

Thank you, and please bear with me here...what is wingeing?

DucksNuts · 11-03-2006, 04:57 AM

wingeing = whine, whine, whine, bellyache, bellyache, bellyache.

One of the good thinga about pommie buggers is they have a similar sense of humour to us aussies and...well....Robbie Williams

ohhh yes, he's super shaggable!!! A few of us Aussie girls are off to see him in December.

He always reveals the hotel he is staying at during his concert, so you know where I will be afterwards

Wow Ali - I thought I was a compassionate person - Oh well guess l can ad that to my list now too. Great, something else l get to work on, as if l needed another issue

I have learned that some people are just plain mean.

yesman065 · 11-03-2006, 01:24 PM

Shawnee123 - Are you referring to me?

Shawnee123 · 11-03-2006, 01:25 PM

NO no no! Not at all. You're a good egg, yesman!

yesman065 · 11-03-2006, 01:27 PM

Oh I was gonna say. . . . I have been feeling a little on edge lately, and thought I may have offended you in some way. OH well here goes. . . .

. . . . that I am "a good egg"

Nah, I'm edgy too, and you don't typically cold shoulder me. Anyhoo, what did the blue highlighted part mean? I'm a bit slow on the uptake today.

What I learned. I am trying to learn something positive everyday and I chose your words for today

Shawnee123 · 11-03-2006, 01:52 PM

See, I was being dense.

It's good to learn or do something positive everyday. I am trying that myself.

A few years ago I made a New Year's resolution much different than the typical "lose weight" "stop smoking" "quit stabbing people in the grocery line" resolutions that none of us EVER keep. I decided to make it a point to compliment people to their boss if I get good service, or write something nice on a comment card. That year, I wrote a comment card at the grocery about some young man who had been out of his way kind, and multitudes more. It has since become a way of life. I think I"ve always been a nice person for the most part, but to make a conscious attempt to show others I appreciate them really brought some good things out.

So, these days I still do that. I wrote a nice email to one of our IT guys for his efficient and painless switchover to my new computer. I courtesy copied to his boss. In our institution it is known as "valuing people" initiative, and I know how I feel when I am appreciated and recognized.

These are positive actions that make me feel good, no matter how freaking goofy my own life is right now.

yesman065 · 11-03-2006, 01:56 PM

That is awesome - I think I'll follow your lead. It is so hard in this negative environment where I work to remain upbeat. Anyway, I like the idea and I'm goin with it.

I learned to not close bedroom door on a cold morning, to raise heat in other rooms. Then forgetting to open before bed time. BRrrr!
