            I would dodgy if the likes of you would stop lining me up with 600/day contracts! Don't find too many of them back home.

              And you get to do lots of pom baiting! what a life eh? just you wait, we will replace you with Poles who are not only cheaper than you but have prettier women and we can also beat them at cricket and rugby (though they probably have better props than you).
