actually, I am a leftist who went past Marx while at uni studying neomarxism in 2003; I think Democrats (US) are right wing cos they are by any reasonable light, but also due to the Overton window are left in America and therefore should be supported over even more right wing reactionaries

OK that’s a strong statement, I’d love to see your objective verifiable evidence for that

I didn’t have the previous model, was never available in my region; so I have an Xbox one I am currently lugging around, still functional [as it ever has been] thank goodness. Bigger current problem is some arsehole mosquito bit me on the right thumb pad last night, bastard, so that’s exquisitely annoying using any controller; even the coveted Steam controller can’t hep that I suspect!

thanks gang, I appreciate the sentiments and advice; and shall do just that.

Also, talk about a good problem to have, being on an amazing holiday in Europe 🙃

well thats how rhyming slang tends to work, e.g. you would hear someone say “there was a barney” meaning there was a fight (that’s Barney Rubble = trouble); or to “have a butcher’s” meaning to have a look at something (Butcher’s hook = look). Using the first part of the word or phrase is part of what makes it an in-group marker; those who know will understand, hence calling someone a seppo is just combining the cockney rhyming slang the ANZACs came across during the war with an Australian stylism. i would normally take that as friendly banter rather than derogatory.
