    @Chris-Maunder Did you get food eventually? How's the tunnelling going? Do they have WiFi?

                        I was under the impression that Foster's beer was the Australian equivalent of sheep's eyeballs. (Only tourists and cultural anthropologists can be persuaded to partake thereof)

                          I can never read "Botany Bay" without hearing it in Chekhov's voice from Wrath of Khan.

                                Nope, just a firm believer that Benjamin Franklin was correct:

                                Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

                                The reality is that no government has ever returned liberty to their citizens once they've taken those liberties away.

                                  And we're done here. You've taken a fun thread about my experience and have turned it into your political commentary. I've tried to be polite about it but I'm no longer interested in the trolling. This thread is locked.
