Oh here we go

Stuck, you mean?

 

That's Tasmania, isn't it, rather than Aus proper?

 

Well there's water inbetween, for one thing.

 

well, given that on average the breast size of chinese women would be
too small for Hog, I'll conceed you have a point.

 

<Waits for photoshop of Hog with Chinese breasts to appear>

 

I gotta have a point?

And anyway, Sicily's an autonomous region, like Sardinia.

 

But that's *so* not true nowadays.

Whatever.

 

They're still Italians though.

 

Why? I've never been in favour of regulating personal morals through
legislation or external pressure.

Change (to be meaningful) has to come from within.

Help, help, I'm being oppressed.

No idea. Netscape occasionally goes a bit weird - they don't show as
question marks while editing, but something changes when it sends. A
restart usually does the trick.

 

Yeah, Netscape Communicator's still available from their download
archive. It's the only news reader I've ever really been able to get
along with, aside from a brief flirtation with Turnpike in the mid 90s.

 

You gad it.

Splendid, thanks very much for that. Points taken on all those
locations.

Mo didn't like driving in melbourne when she was there, something to
do with trams and being a girl I think.

Bollocks oh well, as he said as well, maybe better in a nice
air-con car

"A beautiful child close to me, six and the apple of her father's eye,
believes that Thomas the Tank Engine really exists. She believes in
Father Christmas, and when she grows up her ambition is to be a tooth
fairy. She and her school-friends believe the solemn word of respected
adults that tooth fairies and Father Christmas really exist. This
little girl is of an age to believe whatever you tell her. If you tell
her about witches changing princes into frogs she will believe you. If
you tell her that bad children roast forever in hell she will have
nightmares. I have just discovered that without her father's consent
this sweet, trusting, gullible six-year-old is being sent, for weekly
instruction, to a Roman Catholic nun. What chance has she?"

I've kind of let it be taken for read that the summer's are hot
throughout Oz. What did you like about it? I've only talked to
travelling Canberrans but they uniformly describe it as dull as ****.
Bill Bryson doesn't rate it that highly either in his Down Under book.

There's one tiny section of it that's nice to look a, the obvious bits.
A lot of it is dire, deteriorating, undeveloped, over developed.
Something else I forgot to mention. It's a subtle thing and probably
won't bother most people but the street lighting in a lot of areas is
of a lower intensity than the uk. It doesn't matter much, but it just
seems a bit dingier that used to. It all adds to the atmosphere. The
city can have a slightly malevolent feel at night.

But it does have a lot of great beaches.

I did forget. Mind you I haven't been there or talked to any Tassies
about the place.

 

An hour if you can get out of town. When I was there last their biggest
bridge was shut down due to cracks appearing and traffic was almost at
a standstill.

 

Well I'm not going to go along with that because what Sydney does have
is suburbs with a great deal of individual character. Although that
character in the Western suburbs isn't particularly edifying the
Eastern, Southern and Northern 'burbs are very different from each
other. I don't how how well you know the areas but just compare the
beach suburbs of Coogee, Bondi, Malabar and Bronte for instance. I
find the bars generally disappointing here, but then I'm a fan of the
US style bar. No fruit machines or loud jukeboxes, no large groups of
drunken yobs, etc. Here they're like uk pubs, but worse. Much worse.

Cane would, for the whores alone.

 

Amusingly enough, today is the coldest day In Sydney for November in
100 years. Full report here:

Pretty much sums all of them up, yes. Just that he was a loser.

 

Yes, I saw their building last week in a run down part of town.
