Terms of Use

If it were down to me, I’d simply say behave, don’t start a blue, don’t get cranky, don’t be a drongo or a whacker, keep it dinkum, give a bloke a fair go and she’ll be apples. And if you can’t do that, rack off.

But apparently, that won’t cut it legally. So, unfortunately, I got to hit you with all this yabber….
