So....smart arse.....who were 'they?'

Did Flinders circumnavigate the continent with only his cat? This seems to be what you are implying. Did you skip primary school? If not, make your pointless point.

He sailed that cat round the world.

Yes, quite a hero that cat was. "Tim," was it? Fancy, not jumping overboard.

Not the point, Aussie was asking about "their" in the circumnavigation of our continent. To him there was no "their" in that or if there was he was denying it by asking "who is the their?"

I don't care what aussie said. My question was about your comment, not his. What is it with you and deflecting everything to aussie.

The things you people will try and make something out of astounds me. Can't wait for Aussie's try at making what he said even half way reasonable. Show us your Ace Aussie?

Gawd...such a simple question arising from what you posted smart arse. Let's have another go.

Who are 'they,' Setanta. Name them.

(whoops, sorry edit.)

Google who he sailed with. Seriously all you are going to to do is ask me that? I know the name of the ship but I can't name the crew but what does that matter? You know who "their/they" is in Flinders' own words posted above.
Quote:

He made the tour of the globe, and a voyage to Australia,
which he circumnavigated, and was ever the
delight and pleasure of his fellow voyagers

Indeed I do know at least one of the crew, one far more relevant than a pissant cat. (Hence the Thread.)

So, over to you smart arse. Who was he?

What don't you get? It doesn't matter. Read my original reply to you.

We have statues of some historical figures like Cook and Flinders. Why do we have one for Flinders' cat?

It kept their morale up on a very long and arduous voyage?

This is born out in Flinders' own writing.

If you have some off beat pointless point, make it.

Why do you have a fixation with Setanta lately?
Are you in need of his attentions?
Well don't fret. Setanta has a special late night session that will invigorate your peace of mind. I highly recommend it.
Meanwhile...
How long have you been Aussie's pet pusssy for John Smith? Huh

What? That he also had the cat when imprisoned by the French? How is that any point when we are talking about the circumnavigation of the Australian continent.

Look guys! There's a unicorn! Great argument.

Not the point. You asked a question, I answered it. Whether anyone else should have got a statue is irrelevant. You are trying to make something that it is not. Do we then move on to everyone that has a statue/war medal? Get a grip. You asked a question, I answered. If you have a bone to pick, pick it but it has nothing to do with what was asked and what I answered.

I already explained my point to you you fool. All you had to do was stop salivating in Aussies directing and look at the screen for 20 seconds. Cheesy

no one said 'that was all' Set

but do you think being locked away for 6 or 7 years with no one but the cat for company, that might have influenced his opinion of the cat???

I tossed out a bait. Hooked you. Gee, I wonder why it was you who leapt on to it.

What are 'they' Setanta? If you don't know their names, or at least the most obvious, prominent and vitally important one of them, just say so.
