Haven't heard "oxter" in many a year - the Baroness used it a lot (and other Weegie Words) when we first met.

I hadn't heard the expression "armpit" until I went to school here.
Oxter & other expressions (not to mention a strong accent) earned me several beatings until I learned to blend in with the Skippys.

I'd always assumed you'd moved to Oz when you were a growed up Donald
But then I suppose it makes sense, moving to Oz as a child would have meant little say in it - Choosing to move to Oz on the other hand as an adult.... errrrrrr

I moved to Oz as a 12 year old, taught me never to aim for moderation in the use of violence.

Identity can be fluid. I cheer wholeheartedly for the Wallabies whenever they thrash the All Blacks.
Unfortunately that hasn't happened in the last century.

It's not quite that long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvNb4mkRFMs narrated by a very excitable Frenchman (is there any other kind?) This one hurt the kiwis, I know, because I was there...

They do come in ‘Deeply Phlegmatic’ as well [insert shrug].

‘Wolf pits’ weren’t unknown in medieval times either. If I were doing them I’d want them concealed to add to the shock factor (maybe just a flat piece of fresh earth would work) but if you want to depict them on the table top ‘as is’ then something like this seems the main option:

LT: that's perfect. I'll use skewers for the pointy bits rather than those somewhat blunt looking implements but otherwise, this is exactly what is needed..

Whoa! That looks a bit like what I described.

Only better.
