      :) Very funny! Does Paul Watson have connections with SatireWire, or is that just a fluke? :suss: I can't handle all the Australian humour this week - I am still trying to complete your description in the scrp book without laughing so much my eyes start bleeding. ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk Aqkuoerian letter of the day:

          I see that Paul was one of those interviewed... always in the forefront. A pity about the canal, but the Panamanians have been rather full of themselves since we gave it to them. Reports aren't all in yet, but we're all hoping that the damage to Florida is fairly severe. It's always had rotten weather, lots of disgusting insects and reptiles, and we're all a bit put out yet about the brouhaha they caused in the last election. Good riddance!

            And I though Chris was going to VSLive in San Francisco. Although I was on a flight one time where they switched the gates but only told the pilots. Not the passengers or gate attendants.:omg:

                Yes, I believe thats one demand America will happily give in to. We don't find him funny, just a sad example of Australia's finest. It's nice having new neighbors, we've finally got a place for all our hazardous waste.

                  :laugh: It will shorten your flight. "We sent troops to Afghanistan. You never hear about it. We have huge government scandals. You never hear about it. It's all 'America did this,' and 'Europe says that,'" exclaimed Perth resident Paul Watson. "Well, we're right in the thick of things now, so let's just see if you can you ignore us." Is this anyone we know? qomi "Don't compromise yourself. It's all you've got." - Janis Joplin

                    Now, now... I find Paul Hogan to be a charming example of Australian quaintness, even if it's an illusion. As an American Mountain Man, I find a lot of common ground in a character who can slay a wildebeast with a well-flung stone, seduce a New York society girl with a charming smile, funny accent, and a large knife, and successfully sell inferior automobiles to a gullible public, all without even breathing hard. Remarkable character, despite the likely fact that a real Aussie couldn't hold a candle to this icon of outback excellence. His partner and agent, Walt, is far more believable. Ambrose Bierce is alive and drunk in Bullhead City...

Not specifically towards the USA but their whole relaxed attitude. Their country moves 7000 miles, *shrug* they get on with life and have a good time. They are just bloody friendly and don't judge others as much as other countries do. I can walk into an Aussie pub in London and shout "You bunch of bloody Aussies, us Southers kicked your ass in cricket yesterday, now buy me a drink" and they would buy me a drink. They would shout back of course and have a good laugh but at the end of the day everyone is a friend (except the Brits who sent them up that hill), everyone has a good time, nobody worries about things you cannot change, or things that worrying won't help. Also, and this is just from what I have heard and seen, Australia is about as close to South Africa as you can get. Same sort of climate, same sort of wilderness, good cities, friendly people. We are outdoor type people aswell which helps. They drink, they braai (barbie) they laugh they covort. All the things a good South African does. Aussies are a good bunch and us South Africans get on well with them. We have a good competitive spirit between us too. All in all, a good bunch and if I ever had to move from SA then down under would be the place. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge Sonork ID: 100.9903 Stormfront

Not pets however, when I can be bothered I'll chase them back into the bush trying to scare the life out of them in the hope they won't come back - they eat the garden and crap on the lawn (alot). My father kept one as a pet when he was a boy. We are now starting to use them as a source of good lean red meat - Skippy burgers! sonork ID: 100.9940
