I think you have misunderstood me Uncle.
In no way would i ever call/imply/label you(or Patrick) were racist!

So i will attempt to explain myself:

It was an 'insult' towards Wazza. I suppose the Australian/ New Zealand relationship of where we give each other $h*t would be hard to understand from a European perspective; so i made sure i put more 'smileys' than Daniel could ever put up in a post that small.
My appologies if i have offended you (and Patrick)in any way. This was in no way intended.
You can ask any 'favourite' Aussie (or Kiwi <New Zealander>) here about this subject.
It seems it is part of Australian social phenomenon/ identity to give each other insults in a playful way, and to get the other person back with a better 'playful' insult.

Example : its like me saying that
"Canadian French" sounds like a more evil version than the 'French' spoken by the people of France"
or
"The New Zealand version of 'english' is like an evil Australian version of english"

I was expecting to get insulted back from Wazza, and not to provoke a defensive response from yourself.

Ahhh the Internet,emails,text messages, forums.....can be so miss-understood now that the world has become a 'smaller' place
Again sorry if you took offense.
Cheers

I was more surprised than offended:
I let you translate this very old French sailor song...

Bart.jpg

Avec Jean Bart s'en sont allés, Ohé du mous-se, le vent te pous-se

Avec Jean Bart s'en sont allés Gars de Dunkerque et de Calais
Pour sur la mer battre l'anglais.

Refrain:

Chan-te le vent, ohé, ého, Hisse la voile, fier matelot

Voguèrent alors nuit et jour
Ohé du mousse, le vent te pousse
Voguèrent alors nuit et jour
Et déjà parlaient de retour
Quand l'anglais parut à l'entour.

Les attaquèrent en chantant
Ohé du mousse, le vent te pousse
Les attaquèrent en chantant
Fendant, décapitant
Sans même faiblir un seul instant

Au soir sur le flot apaisé
Ohé du mousse, le vent te pousse
Au soir sur le flot apaisé
Flottait en haut du grand hunier
Le pavillon fleurdelisé

[Blackbrook]

The worse google translation ... let me guess: it is a song about the french - british war. Don't know the exact details of it, although it is an important part of european history - shame on me!!!!

Let me say one thing: I think that no one in here wants to blame anyone. The problem is - to me - that there are often difficulties in understanding what other people wrote. Especially I have trouble with understanding irony in english. For a not native english speaker it is often hard to see the difference between irony and a fact.

So let us all be friendly to each other, as we did the last months

Greetings,

Steve

it took me a while to comprend that the fluenty use of english and how i try to play with the words i use can be misunderstood and not accepted properly I try to repensent myself in such a way on the fourm that any slight misunderstanding will be tolerated and rectified in a (couple of words come to mind but just dont fit) [maturely, adultlike ]fashion.where here to help each other make the music more better and i think we are accomplishing this , with a proffesional manner, and a little room for play also (Not enuf cool's)

oh yeah unc you know my handicap with not being bi-lingual so a prompt translation should be forth comming

[hemskoc]

Well apparently, this is the 'english' version (as follows):

With Jean Bart went away, ahoy soft-se, wind-dust you will

With Jean Bart went away Boys of Dunkirk and Calais
For the sea beat the English.
Chorus:

Chan-te wind, ohe, Eho, hoist sail, sailor proud

Then sailed day and night
Ahoy foam, the wind pushes you
Then sailed day and night
And already talked back
When the English appeared around it.

Attacked by singing
Ahoy foam, the wind pushes you
Attacked by singing
Pendant, beheading
Without even a moment falter

In the evening the flood subsided
Ahoy foam, the wind pushes you
In the evening the flood subsided
Floating above the topsail
The fleur de lis flag

*I prefer the French version personally, because i cant understand the english one either !
*WTF does this mean:
Chan-te wind, ohe, Eho ?
or
The fleur de lis flag?
*I cant believe French people still talk like this-its 2010 !
i better go spin some tracks and shutup now....
Cheers

Chan-te wind, ohe, Eho ?
or
The fleur de lis flag?

Chante-te means chante (sing) it's divided in 2 part as it's part of the melody of the song.
Fleur de lys flag, the flag of France up to the revolution of 1789... Also flag of Quebec province in Canada.

Dunkirk French harbor in front of Dover England. Country of Jean Bart & place of one of the most famous French carnival "le carnaval de Dunkerque"
Jean Bart is the hero of the Carnival of Dunkirk... He wasn't the best friend of the English vessels... My father was from dunkirk, I am born with this legend. The town & harbor were fully destroyed in 1940 but the townsfolk of Dunkirk proudly present the most celebrated corsair in French history - Jean Bart. He is a local hero, born, bred and buried in Dunkirk, whose memory transcends time by remaining firmly entrenched in the hearts of the people for more than 300 years, for he is the man who saved France from famine. Cromwell died in 1650 and Charles II returned to England to take up the thrown. But he was broke and sold Dunkirk to Louis XIV thereby returning Dunkirk to the French.

Bart joined the naval services under the command of Dutch Admiral Michiel de Ruyter grabbing the opportunity to fight the English, learning tactics that he used later. His allegience was always to France and when war broke out between the French and Dutch (1672-1678) he commanded a French fleet of privateering vessels. Six battles later he had captured 81 ships. He was promoted to Lieutenant Commander of the Royal Navy.

His finest hour was in 1669 when his country faced famine. He set out with a Dutch squadron and captured 130 ships laden with Russian and Spanish wheat, thereby saving his country from starvation. In 1694 he was elevated to the ranks of nobility with a peerage.
