Yeah, I made the switch as soon as I got it, the Force Feedback is a huge step up on even the Microsucks one.

I suppose, but there's no reason for either response, not having been faced with, "Taking the piss" before, I didn't know what the hell it meant either.

im not going to refute the term... but where does 'taking the piss' become 'youre kiddding, rihgt?' ???
on this side our expressions are much less involved... to me, this is analagous to: 'its a very windy day' by saying 'stubble has grown'
hehe

^^^ Well, there are regional variations.
You may hear "You must be pulling my leg..." "You must be pulling my piss" "you taking the piss..." etc...
Normally in response to a question with an obvious common sense answer...
Others would be "taking the mickey" "yanking my chain"

In Canada, Toronto to be exact taking a piss means urinating. And being "pissed" means being angry.

Another interesting one... being "pissed" means being drunk... being "pissed off" is angry... being "pissed on" is just sad..
It's all in the details.. hehe
