Howard is a Northern Sydney solicitor who fell into the leadership of Australia due to the fact that Labor had done its job of solidifying our economic potential into a reality. He was a coat tugger and a [censored] who got lucky. How you can lump in Obama with him is beyond reason. Blair was a toad,Bush was a moron,Clinton was a genius and. Netanyahu was a human tick, still is. Barack will be ranked along side Lincoln and Franklin as a giant in years to come.

I've been to Vienna many times. Mostly on my way to Budapest. I thought Franz Kafka was From Prague. There is the minuscule chance I could be wrong.

Pure mongrel.

Say what you will about The Briiish Deits. But they won. Twice. Move on slowly like the many futile overs you bowled.

Main thing is.... There is still a place for people to be weird."

This Danny Corcoran fella is a genius. Really knows how to run a football club- into the ground. I have little sympathy for any of them. His call of PTSD demeans soldiers and those who have experienced real trauma or grief. What JH experienced was a total loss of respect and credibility stoked by an ego that has never been in check. I noticed his egotism when I first saw him interviewed. His ego took him right up but he wasn't ready for the fall. A total lack any introspective insight leads to insanity or prison , or worse.

Croatian actually. If we are splitting hairs.

They encourage the children to think outside the square . Then they [censored] them if they do. It's a uniquely German approach to innovation.

You would think so but it's attracted many willing to see it unfurled.

It's pure capitalist propaganda DC. there have been way more than 50 serious crimes at the Gat. Looks likeScott Cam and co are trying to push out the elite so Dee Jolly and the other tasteless bogans can ruin the joint with their faddish deco. Bourgeois scum!

Xin. Chau Chairman Dee. I have just been awoken by the voice of communist radio and big sister!!! Bbos joke would fall very flat here. Nodody talks out of turn. You would love it! Also , you can crack a beer in the AM without a batted eyelid in sight! Gotta love the commos. Ive had a chance to speak some terrible French already . On the flight over I learnt more about the Silk Road. There are pots and jars from the Middle East found in an excavation here that dates back to 8th C! Still no huge take up of contraception in Saigon judging by the traffic. And the other news I can report is that I'm a mutli- millionaire . Ive been grasping my Dong with unrestrained joy!

Our Bitter correspondent has asked me to inform you that he is taking a week off to practice his diction and cultural awareness. It seems a typo made in poor taste has offended someone worried in case of somebody getting offended. Bitters was guilty of stereotyping our Asianneighbours ability to pronounce the letter r. I suppose the decades he's spent teaching Asian children English must have been interspersed with some Hey Hey it's Saturday!! I did buy lunch at a shop called " wok and lol" today and funnily enough it was busy with customers and not a single placard in sight. In conclusion I think the punishment is just for such an archaic evocation. I expect he will be flagellating himself vigorously in contrition.

A communications engineer has told me that Telsta is overcharging the NBN access its infrastructure and pits, which are full of asbestos and disconnected lines. Privatised Telstra is now destroying its own competition through arbitrage and sabotage.

Maybe you could take special along in the Merc for that road trip you have been promising him for 3 years?

Yes the Black Line or the Black War. Graziers were reporting raids upon properties and Aboriginal tribes sought retribution for their women who had been stolen or " purchased". Batman controlled the line from Launceston to the ocean with the intention of driving any survivors out to Flinders Island to the N/E It was here that Batman grew his ruthless reputation and gained support as a selector in the new colony of Victiria. Touchingly, he took care of a young Aboriginal boy who's parent he had shot. He was all heart.

Also Mount Ben Lomond. The famous founder of our city formed a long line of men with guns there and they marched towards the ocean, shooting men,women and children wherever they stood. Hard to find any tourist markers pointing this out.

I know how you feel Special. Ive been watching grand designs and I feel the urge to put on a black polo and black rim specs before spouting on about glass and light like I invented them.

It must have been the expression " two heads are better than one" that drew him to their unique culture.

And the Monkeys have herpes as well.

If only you knew the extreme reverence I command in my village .Im more like a benevolent Apparition than a German in sandals. The only flesh available will be fish or foul, perhaps pork, dog or frog. You're projecting your own evil intentions on an innocent once again.

Not me Ernie. I am escaping worldly desires, not seeking them old man.

I am not working in an official capacity Moon . Rest assured the Gat will be under the command of a lieutenant . Bitters will not be allowed near the place until he pays his outstAnding accounts with the various traders contained therein.

Yours truly is off to Indochine for a sabbatical . I will be lying low in a village of sympathetic mercenaries , reading T.S.Eliot and eating lychees. I look forward to sending you all some communique from the dense jungle through my minions so please be aware that some of my missives may be badly translated and this is in no way due to a ready supply of opiates and cheap beer, but rather that my translator has a pronounced nervous tick from repeated beatings.

I remember it well. All this carry on in Christchurch when we still have to deal with the aftermath of our own natural disasters. The struggle continues ....

I suppose Elwood will be filled with the Debris and refuse, washed down from St Kilda,as always.
