You might (as indeed you "recognised" as a possibility) have this
wrong old chum, Mark Parnell almost certainly meant what he
said...
You see, we all know here how prickly folk can be [1] and so
these expressions are used as a sort of social smoothing oil.
Even I (who am from another planet altogether) have adopted them
reluctantly...
BTW, it is precisely because Mark has finished the course you
mention that he used the expression. It was in the 8th lecture
towards the end.
I know he took the course because it is now compulsory for all
Australians to do this. They are required not only to do American
courses because of their shoulder to shoulder closeness in battle
to the yanks but because they tend to misbehave abroad in loud
drunken ways and it reflects badly on the country.
Got to rush, I am up to the 11th Dale Carnegie lecture...
---------------
[1] Look at you, for example, the way you said no offence
intended but underneath obviously a bit stung to the quick.
