LOL - cabron - subtitle in spanish - how quaint TL [img]tongue.gif[/img] - not up to your usual style though old boy - a bit on the nose even. [/QUOTE]
Translated: No, Davros, Don't leave. Sit here, dude, and visit with us.

It was in response to your Hasta luego amigo. No ill intent was expressed, and "cabron" is an acceptable term applied to friends or friendly aquaintences.
[/QUOTE]Actually, I was using "cabron" as a joking endearment that is used in Spanish-speaking households. A parent may jokingly call the kid "cabron," meaning something akin to "little shit," when talking to them. For instance, my wife's mother would/will sometimes say "Flaka cabrona, ven aqui" ("Hey, skinny little shit, come here"). It was completely a joke, and I was pretty sure Davros would take it in the right way. It was not intended to be "on the nose." The important part was the "sit here and visit with us." No offense intended to Davros, and for any offense conveyed, perdoname por favor, este era una broma, y solomente una broma.
