Right Char,
I can't let this piece of reverse relativism go unchallenged . The reverse of your quote is true. The truth is,( the faux Australian), Keith Urban, sings in an accent and speaks without one.

This recent turning of the numbers in your life is having a bad effect on your perceptive abilities Char . (I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this abberattion wasn't brought about by sampling the "wacky backy" in the tents out the back at Mariposa !! )

Like the wrong thinking Mr Fowles, years of living at the bottom of the world appears to have been detrimental.



HINT : The butter and honey goes on the top side of the bread in Aus. despite whatever the Fowles world view may indicate...

[/QUOTE]OK Ok I would have thought that standing on your head would have impeded the ability to talk out of the top of your head so you are obviously speaking from your rear end.. umm an Aussie petomane no doubt

Damn. When people said I was long winded I thought all they meant was that I took a long time to say not very much.



Or it may have been that visit to Sheryl's business (I notice they spelt her name wrong)

It appears to me Jim/Bert/D... that you have cropped your picture to reduce its size rather than using photogadget to resize it. but at least you tried which is more than the Sydney hooligan did (his original grosly oversized picture takes way too long to load on a dial up as well as causing the scrolling problem 8/10 for Jim and a desultory 0 for Stevo

For goodness sake Steve please delete your large picture posting and give those of us on dial-ups a break

A reasonable size, this must be 9/10
Better 9.5/10 but see below re using imageshack
