#43 Where does the name Gulliver come from then. Were you a friend of Jonathen Swift and he wrote a book about you. Cheers John Sabourn

[cappy]

john if you want an avatar and you ask nicely Gulliver can put it on sight with the help of tony m they did mine ....im trying to think of a suitable one for you how about the sign Neptune with his wotsit in his hand

[j.sabourn]

Makes no difference with my name. Most people cant spell it. Nobody ever pronounces it properly. Everyone thinks I own the Seaborne (Norwegian) Lines. Which I let them think if going for a bank loan. Looking at the internet find plenty of them there and try to work out their ages and where I was at the time. Don't know about the Red Indian one though, unless something happened in Port Churchill many moons ago. But you Gulliver with all those little people must have had the time of your life. Cheers John Sabourn

#45 His whats your father in his hand, I know we live in a very free talking world but some may take umbrage at that Cappy. Looking at the news out here shows same sex marriages are starting to take place in Canberra from Saturday. Seeing two grown men kissing on TV puts me off my cornflakes in the morning so the days of anything being shown are with us. So maybe a trident maybe alright. May even get past the censors. Don't know how the other stuff does. However Neptune was an old sod and I'm just a young fella. How about Frankie Lane or someone. Cheers John Sabourn

[cappy]

yes Frankie lane rollin rollin rollin ......it could be rollin home or rollin down to rio .......as for the other fellows marrying fellers.....a don't care what the law ses it doesn't seem right to me but I may have broken some new law by saying it ......the mind boggles as to what the future holds ......but then live and let live let them get on with it

[j.sabourn]

Yes but not when im eating my cornflakes. JS

possibly mentioned this before- I was discussing homosexuality with a female friend of mine and perhaps the spin off from same sex liaisons might undermine world population, her comment was that there are enough heterosexuals about to equalise this. I also recall a news item about a year ago where a guy rented himself out to the lesbian community who wanted to 'complete their family', going by the name of Dick Van Dyke. True! Of course male faggots in a 'relationship' can now legally adopt children ( no more threats with misbehaving children eg- 'wait 'til your father gets home'!) how does the wording on birth certificates go now? I shudder to visualise the future where this practice would become acceptable.
