We whinge, but not with quite the proper inflection, like Marlon
Brando's Fletcher Christian. "Swingeing" is more common than
whingeing by a long shot, if you mean in the slang sense of
"swingeing and swiving." Especially after a long day of swinking and
a couple cold ones and a nice meal with the Mrs. and the kids all
tucked in, although we probably wouldn't use that word about the Mrs.

You're letting me know that there is indeed a rich culture of
vernacular in your part of the world eh? :>)

Hell no, I'm letting you know I used to read Chaucer in a former life. :)

BTW, we found a USAAF war grave in the north of Scotland during our
holidays

I'll try and do the grave justice with a little page on my website
later in the week.

Please do! Sounds a bit like Pearl Harbor in miniature. You didn't just happen upon it, surely! What did you carry in to shoot it with?
