Essentially what i thought it meant.
Thanks

I use to live in Cypress N.W. Houston and was an engineer at T.I.
Saw Don Williams at the Houston livestock and Rodeo.
What a good time.
Also was at the game of the week when Nolan Ryan pitched his no hitter that beat Kofax’s record.
In the 9th inning I was yelling GO Blue as I grew up in L.A. as a kid.
Folks were throwing soda’s at me from the upper decks.

Actually, I would read this as a polite and diplomatic way of saying, “Stuff it.”

As an ex-Brit I can tell you that you have read this correctly - except had it not be said in a diplomatic context the operative phrase would be "B*gger off"
