"shite" is a euphemistic spelling of "shit.

Nothing euphemistic about it, it's just an alternative version of the word. With the advantage that the long vowel gives it more expressive power.

In note that the fella concerned says "here" in that last post, with the implication that he is in Australia. Strange.
