ps I think you'll find that whingeing has an 'e', like swingeing ;-),
and that our US friends don't come across it very often. cb.

Bloody whinging Poms......

PMFJI but I love it when you guys talk commonwealth.

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.

BTW it's nice having you back, Chris.
