To us Aussie blokes, we drink with our mates in a bar and we don't make passes at them if you get my drift. Also scaling is cleaning a fish or making a model. I think there might be a language barrier here somewhere.
Thanks. Yes,that's one of the many meanings of scaling. But tclimbing or reaching the highest point is another. See the other Many Things to Many People teaser for more language barriers. Smile.
No language barrier here. This was very well done and lots of fun. Thanks.
