WTF does "picken" mean? Is that some sort of prison slang?

My, my...arent some of you a bit touchy

Warne was heard on radio to tell Collingwood, who was fielding at first slip to Panesar, to give back the MBE he earned for being part of the 2005 Ashes success. When asked whether he thought Collingwood would take the advice Warne smiled. "I probably told him enough times he might think about it," he said. "It's up to him."

Yep, couldnt have said it better myself really

It is arsey attitudes from you antipodeans that makes us touchy. Take the quote from Warne for instance, typically of Aussies and Kiwis, he can't recognise the success of the English ashes win and treat it with respect, but will expect to be lauded for the Aussies achievemnet this year.
You can't have it all ways you know.

Not 80, they were about 120 years ago, so my family has been on the right side of both whitewashes.

Now get back behind the bar.

I would but they gave my job to three Poles.
