    Maybe it was

    "Intrigued you say, go on, my other half"

    That is the way I took it.

    Never mind, this was answered.

    So to clarify "taking the piss" means being mean.

    In the states "taking a piss" means going to the bathroom... that is where my thoughts were.

    Actually, I was saying I don't think I'd care what it meant, if I was hearing you talk. I'd probably be so taken with your accent, teehee
