Pescatarian? I looked that one up, seems people who choose that diet eat only fish, seafood and related fish products, and never the flesh of any land animals. I recall a lady I once knew who followed that diet and try as I might she could never compromise her dietary beliefs by engaging with the pink piccolo. After some time she began to take on the aroma of a Reykjavik fish docks flensing shed. Well,we all know the saying’ once you get past the smell etc etc’……, but enough was enough. Give me steak eggs and chips in a Cantina in BA with a woman thrown in.

Re: Woke to you as well
Well if you want to see it all just come to Sydney over the next couple of weeks.
The Gay and lesbian Mardi Gras is on again
They come from all over the world for it.
But some of the parades sure make it look as if they are after new recuits.


Happy daze John in Oz.
