You should stay out of foreign countries that also speak English,

your head.

What the **** are you talking about? Do you know what a spotted
dick is?

In your case Phillips, spotted dick would be the results of some
dread and filthy sexual-related disease that you are trying to
spread. Sex with road kill is the probable original cause. The spots
are pustules.

Great. Still making things up out of thin air, eh?

But, in the UK, spotted dick is a kind of pudding. The spots are
currants.

Obviously you had to look it up on the Internet,

Wrong again. But thanks for sharing your delusional belief in your
omniscience, Phillips.

So, I guess you're idea of "idiomatic expression" differs from the
rest of the known universe, eh Arnold. The rest of us would just
consider "spotted dick" the name of something.

Sorry, your claim that Marc was wrong is abjectly a lie. Lying liar,
liar. chuckle

That darn English language - always letting you down, even in your
spin...poor little Arnold...
