Donkey's Ears Years Ain't seen you in donkeys mate.

For extra credit, please translate the following: "Got to my mickey, found me way up the apples, put on me whistle and the bloody dog went. It was me trouble telling me to fetch the teapots."

It was my wife (trouble and strife) telling me to get the kids (teapot lids)."[/color] I hope that's helped clear up a few issues for you all ;-) |
