i'm not your mate, alright?!?! |
I should hope not, given that a "mate" is one's sexual partner for the purpose of procreation.
Not that you Strine-speaking giblets would know that, given the glee with which you former guests of the Queen butcher the English language. |

Actually the convicts in my family (5 on my mothers side) were guests of the King (and 1 was pardoned).
I guess you will tell us gay means happy next (actually no nagging women you may have a point  ) |

| Actually, "Mate" is used almost as much in the UK, & in the same Oz context, of a friend. 'Buddy' & 'Pal' don't have quite the same ring to them. |

Well, tie me kangaroo down, sport, that's a bloody impressive bit of didgeridoo-do!
