... I got a lot of stares, a few smiles, and only one comment - sadly from a couple of young thugs who waited until they were past me and bravely called out to my back "POOFTA" (a derogatory term applied to one of homosexual persuasion). ...

So, in Tasmania it's "poofta," the original Yiddish which entered English via Cockney, rather than "poof" as it is now in the UK?

Does it often happen that other words are used in archaic forms in Tasmania?

People are so lazy...easier to catogorize and put down than to inquire.

A coworker recently told me that "everyone" thought I was gay because I wore kilts. That would sure surprise my lady. And, like I care what they think. I happen to be supportive of FREEDOM and that makes me gay friendly I guess...or as the bumper sticker says, "Straight, but not narrow."

What other people think of me is just plain none of my business.

Congrats on walking tall and representing a proud heritage Graham.
