12th February 1839

 

On Monday of this week a Welsh convict named Jones, called me “a fair dinkum arsehole”. For such insolence I was about to pistol whip him....when Jones quickly started rambling.

 

The funny thing was that it turns out that “ fair dinkum” actually reverses the insult which follows...So actually by calling me a “ fair dinkum arsehole” he was saying that I am, in some way, the farthest thing possible from being an arsehole.

 

Feeling quite chuffed with myself, I refrained from beating the man.

 

I have decided to play along with their folly. In the last few days I have been called ”a fair dinkum prick, cow tits, dick,” and some other vulgar language that I would not put to paper. It has taken time, but I finally gained respect of these horrid convicts.
