Wellcome all and I for one will enjoy more intellectual conversation. Ladies let me refresh your drinks, George empty the drip tray in the public bar and that round is on me. Cheers Woza

Wow...that dittolist! Surely is a long-winded bastard, aint he. But he brings a whole new level of suave to the saloon. The rest of you guys had better start washing your hands. And quit spitting in the corner. Welcome dittolist. And a warm welcome to the ladies. Girl power!

Ruth and Lotus Eater, where do you fall in the "tough old birds, biblethumper, young Chinese gentlewomen" scale of things? I've told George before that I never hit my Bible. I'm getting really close to the tough old bird stage, but I've never been to Australia. He is right about the defection from Canada to America, though, although defection isn't exactly the word I would use. Born and raised in Canada. Moved to the States in 1988 for reasons related to my husband's employment opportunities. I am a Christian.

Well Rauol, I kinda figured that one out, since Goerge did use it to slam me in another thread, however I just couldn't help myself. Curiosity killed the cat.

I still haven't got my answer Millana, it's a stupid Aussie invention, ten years behind the times. In Canada we use pump-action thingys. They have a marvellous "mangez la fenetre" quality that a windup thingy can't approach. It's motto: "Pump up the world!" Or, "thank God we're not Aussie cavemen".

Raoul will serve up whatever you have in your fridge or liquor cabinet and you can indulge to your heart's content while you enjoy the sparkling conversation. George - gosh I hate asking for advice, but I really want to know - I figured out how to use the quote feature, but I don't know how to do the double quote thing. On the other hand, not knowing just boosted my post count over 800. I'm well on my way to superbarfly status.

You mean like this??? Piece o' piss. Just highlight, copy and paste. Hmmm...maybe there is another way.

Okay, that's one way, but not what I meant.
Sometimes people put two separate quotes within one reply. Each quote gets its own box and header.

Thanks for trying, guys. At least I'm not the only stupid person on here who can't figure it out. When I come across an example, I'll ask the poster.
Maybe I dreamed it?

I did NOT dream it. I just found an example on the 'I'm a pony' thread and the poster was - George. Quit holding out on the info. You do, too, know how to do it.
Quotes from two previous posters, each within their own little box, all on the same post by you.

Hello, all you refugee types. Some of you might not remember, but I fled from Dave's Dark and Dank Dungeon quite some time ago now. Even though I now am located in the middle of nowhere in Japan (as opposed to the middle of nowhere in China - long story) I still hang out here.
Welcome and beware the punch - it's spiked more than a railway.

Hi All I don't know whether I qualify as a "tough old bird".... but I was a teenager in the sixties and that's all I'm saying .... I'm Australian and have been in China for a year TODAY (if today is the 1st June - too much baijui last night!). Another refugee from Daves.... glad to see Talkdoc and Peggy plus a few other names I recognise ) Don't know whether I shall ever get to Barfly status as I'm not a prolific poster (260 posts on Daves in 12 months), so I'm destined to be a "New Chum" for ever

should be: "We break wind around the world." Your wind-up thingys are so "en passe." I'm telling you, with this new electricity you'll be able to rule the world. Of course, you Aussies will have to import the technology from us USAnians. For a nominal fee. And a round of swill. Just sign on the dotted line. I'll throw in a set of steak knives for free. Oh, and as to not hijack this thread too far, a warm welcome and round of Raoul's finest to all the 'fugees.
