    Ah just to be normal and expect to go through the day without BS cropping up makes me wonder if becoming Blind, Deaf and dumb would not do the trick because everywhere seems to be geared up to stress one out. The latest idea to hit the stupid idea catagory is to increase the price of alcohol. Make a cask of wine that was around $12 for five litres go up to $47 a cask and same such increases for beers and spirits. The logic is to make it to dear to purchase. Will be dusting of the old wine making gear as well as the distillery equipment alond side the fermentaion vat for my beer. Along with everyone else if this crazy idea get legs. These people actually get paid by us which makes it worse. Might be an exodus of ex pats heading back there soon to dilute the population to a whiter shade of white.
    That's the way the mop flops.

    My thanks to Brian for this site.

    My understanding Les is that the idea first came from Scotland and the Uk are also considereing a similar scheme.we can never go back mate, the place is full already and I hear the drawbridge is up.

    Cool longpom

    This reminds me of Noel Coward who when in Sydney was asked by a reporter from the Sydney Morning Herald are you a homosexual?? Replied, no I am not, but the man I go to bed with is.

    Sorry I missed your post about Westmead Hospital, I must be getting old and my eyesight fading, I made contact with Ian Smith a few weeks past he has retired to the Mid North Cost.
