    the Queen nostalgic at the loss of the Royal Yacht Britannia,

    The refusal of the Blair Labor government to fund the Royal Yacht was an act I would describe as “churlish” beyond belief. FWIW, we’ve toured the Royal Yacht….

    “Praised by inbred imbeciles, plotted against by the CIA, unleashing ever new and imaginative ways to waste other peoples’ money and bringing sewage to south west Sydney where his beloved Veitmanese Balts would make their home in his former home.

    While gifted with a woife who could kick start a Qantarse 747.”

    Yeah, no, Mavis. There are no new “stunning” revelations in St Gough’s recently unearthed night soil sack.

    The Australian subscribers – “embrace the suck”. You’ve been had – again. 🙂

    The refusal of the Bliar Labore government to fund the Royal Yacht was an act I would describe as …

    … eminently sensible.

    The Queen being the most wealthy womanage on the planet and perfectly capable of funding her own yacht.

    It was probably his grandfather who wrote a memo to the Foreign Office, in 1938, that the concessions made at Munich by Neville Chamberlain, rendered the chances of a European War with Adolf Hitler, “Most unlikely to ever occur.”

    And it be our pleasure that the peasant known as “Rabz” be taken from his dark, dirty and cockroach ridden cell, in the Tower of London, to Tower Green, where his head will be struck from his body, to teach him reverence and respect for Her Majesty, her heirs and assigns, now and for all time….

    Might be a bit harsh, but I disagree about the yacht, it wasn’t her personal property as far as I know and even if it was it was used mainly for official state business.

    If you begrudge the use of commonwealth property for the occasional private use then look no further then pollies misusing comm-cars, taxis and airline travel.

    The longer one reads blog posts the more one learns about the personality of the posters.

    The main problem with Med is most people can’t (or won’t) take 6 years out of their life to study a highly specialised subject that places a genuine constraint on their career choices. One girl started a Med degree after fishing a 4 year law degree. I couldn’t think of anything worse. I don’t know if she ever finished.

    Wifey has two nieces -sisters- who are specialists. One just finished getting through surgery. It’s a shit job working from 6am to 9 pm most days.

    And just how do you expect them to build schools and bring democracy to Iraq that way?

    Freedom is the gift a civilised people gives itself. Imposed from outside, it has no value and will not last.
    (Unless of course, you’re takin’ da piss.)

    …and I suspect you are.

    Had the laugh. A pal used Siri to ask a question about the Fed meeting. A male voice came on his phone and gave him the date. I asked how come it’s a male voice and he said he changed to male because he didn’t want a freaking sheila telling him what to do.

    “Three years of Labor government have wrought a major and permanent change in almost all areas of Australian political life,” he wrote. “No future government in Australia will be able to ignore, still less reverse, many of the changes of institutions, and of values and assumptions, introduced by Mr Whitlam’s administration in three turbulent years.”
