Heh heh. You guys are too smart for me. You wouldn't believe how long that took me to work out.
'P*ms' is Australian / NZ slang for 'prisoners of her majesties service' (convicts exiled to Australia) - at least thats one theory on the derivation. It apparantly is offensive. Perhaps it was to start with but now I think it is used more fondly to refer to British peoples - and not just the (allegedly convicted) British immigrants... But anyways, thats whats up with that.
OMG. gg got a PBC. I'm staggered.
But don't worry gg
You are still my PBC hero
And still one of my civility buddies
