Whinge (whinges, whingeing or whinging, whinged)[no object]
Hey ,
- complain persistently and in a peevish or irritating way:stop whingeing and get on with it! (as adjective whingeing) a whingeing killjoy:roll:
You still wake up in the morning,don't you?
Go and do some woodwork.and let the world go by.
Laughing out loud here Aussie (daren't use the acronym)
Cheers,
Jim
GOMs rule!
(esp when the false teeth go missing).
Another gripe:
'Ahlympics' rather than Olympics
'Tor' ( as in the Welsh for mountain etc )
rather than 'Tour' for a journey
Thanks for the reminder – Olympics (and the Commonwealth Games and any other athletic or ball sports that dominate the media and the majority of conversation).Quote:

Yep, there must be some rather odd breeds of horses in some parts of the world.Quote:
