My time in foreign parts gave me a healthy awareness of the damage one of Boris' cousins could do(if you were not careful, that is).

It gave the Oz phrase 'go bite your bum' (the paler version of go forth and reproduce)a whole new meaning.
If you got bit on the behind by a red back, lurking under the dunny seat...you would soon find out who your friends were...especially if you asked them to 'suck the poison out of this'.
