General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Given Darwin's theory of evolution how would you categorise yourselves in the great scheme of things if not an animal of the species Homo Sapien? There was no slur intended but it seems you are a little sensitive to certain subjects and comments that to all intents and purposes are just for fun.As for the fact that a number of us ex-pats live in Oz,albeit that I'm only considered to be an 'onourary Wiganer,making contributions to this forum from our perspective,doesn't mean we are taking over the forum or being derogatory to the land of our birth but rather we are trying to add a little colour to what could become somewhat trite if the threads and postings were confined to local subjects.
Yes XRH59,it is the individual's choice and I will be the first to acknowledge that and given the opportunity would gladly make the trip to England to have a pint with you to celebrate your happiness.
If my reference to animals was taken as a sleight on anyone's character,I apologise but it was intended in general terms only because here in Oz we actually do refer to some as animals in an endearing sort of way,just ask my fellow Aussies on this forum.
