I think it's fair to say, an accurate description of a 'poofter' would be: Someone that is very light in the loafers! That clears that up.
Beer.....
seriously, how can Yanks and Ozzies dare debate the most finest of mans creation? It's akin to us Brits descibing a warm, summers day!
Shiiiit maaaan, we don't do summer, you guys don't do beer, simple. If I'm permitted to use the old kent brockman manoevre, and offer my 2cents, then..
Bud: Piss!
Miller: Piss!
Coors: Not so pissy, but offers a free 'banging' headache the next day! To be avoided like a premenstrual, drunk, female.
James Boags:Never seen it.
Crown Lager:If it's what I'm thinking of, then.... Piss!
All Aussie Beers:Piss!
When it comes down to it, If it's beer you want, come to Blighty. But the thought of drinking a pint of warm, frothy, "Vicars Nipple" real ale (beer), makes me wretch. If it's lager you're after its Benelux, Germany and Austria. The German Weisbeer is just sublime, freakin expensive though! I recently bought a box of 12 x 1 litre bottles. For £52, thats roughly (us)$75, (aus)$100, euros 475,652 (buy em quick you euro ppeddlers, they'll probably be 512,623 euros by tomorrow!!!
As for the war post, the Aussies don't care where, why or when, If you ask one nicely, he'd fight his way through box jellyfish with his knob. They're all nuts!! Beer, Birds and Brauling.
The French on the other hand, well, we can sum up the French quite nicely.
Mon 08:00 Hitler is standing at the French border.
Wed 12noonHitler is Waving to the crowds on the Champs Ellise (sp)Go get 'em Pierre!

No way mate! You throw 3 bottles of a good red down your throat and you get one of the nicest, warm, fuzzy feelings all over. The Italian stuff is best.

You Septic Tanks produce some wonderful things, muscle cars, bourbon, movies and computer games, but unfortunatly beer isn't one of them.....what you need after a hard week of work is a tasty full strength beer that relaxes you instead of making you pee all night....and no, Australian's don't drink Foster's, we export the crap for the rest of the word

Budwieser.......

In the 1890's the Army Corps of Engineers reversed the flow of the Chicago River sending Chicago's waste and sewage to St. Louis where they bottle it and send it back to us as Budwiser Beer.

Sorry, couldn't help it......I wouldn't call most Aussie men Macho though......

Closer example would be "Large bellied, slightly obnoxious, xenophobic and prone to boring people with their great sporting prowess during their youth (much like Al Bundy in Married with Children I 'spose). I should know, I turned 32 today and I notice that my belly is larger than when I gave up football, my arse smells a lot more (ask my wife) ....and I of course I boast that I was a hell of a lot better at football then I really was....

The description given to poofters as "Someone that is very light in the loafers! ", sums it up pretty well.

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

Yeah, I get the drift, I just didn't want to look it up in a dictionary, since it probably ain't there anyway....
