| WE differ - so it follows that I don't understand ? Ever wonder if the boot just might be on the other foot ? Not going to get into a pissing contest about which of us knows more about Australian history - although I'm pretty bloody sure I'd be safe  As for the techno-stuff, so what ?One can use a big "I" or a little "i" with a biro, a pencil a keyboard - or a " thumbnail dipped in tar" |

| Steady on you jokers! Remember East-West vernacular variations. You two are even further apart than me and Australia! No wonder you can't understand each other.  ___________________________________________________ Civilisation is a veneer, easily soluble in alcohol!

| Dead right, Ciderman. Poor old Davo seems obsessed with minutiae. I'll capitalize " indigenous" if he really insists. It is of little consequence when there are far, far more serious issues which actually impact on their welll-being. Also, he seems to have some strange, sarky attitude to those from the state of Queensland. I reckon people are people - and I don't give a rat's which part of the continent they hail from. Equally strange is the repeated references to a nut-job state-premier we had 30 years ago !?Scraping the bottom of the barrel, mate  |

| It was claimed that JFK is reputed to have cribbed that phrase from his school head teacher
His speech actually included the phrases
" And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country".
and
"My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man". ___________________________________________________ This post may contain controversial personal opinion, humour, ironic comment or sarcasm.

| Davo, henceforth I might be a bit more inclined to engage with you if you drop the silly language
" y'aint doin it for me ya doin if for ya country anyways digger since when 'ave wez been using english grammar - this is OZ mate were wez throw another prawn on the barbie - you got a roo loose at the top of the paddock?? or been droppin ya cigars in the surf at bondi beach?? "
I don't mind that it makes you look nuts - but it does your country a disservice if others think that normal Australians converse in such a way. |

| Here ya go Davo and Pumice. Take yer mind off it!The Dying Bushman.Oh I'm just a worn out bushman, me chopping days are o'er I'll soon be over on that other shore. For the rimu and the rata have got so mighty tough I just can't seem to chop 'em any more.My slasher is all rusty, axe-handle it is broke I've hung them up behind the whare door For the rimu and the rata have got so mighty tough I just can't seem to chop 'em any more.In all the West Coast bush there was none could chop like me And I long again to hear the felling's roar But the rimu and the rata have got so mighty tough I just can't seem to chop 'em any more. ___________________________________________________ Civilisation is a veneer, easily soluble in alcohol!

| thanks DMs but do not concern yorself Pummie and I have clashed swords on several occasions elsewhere he is just a tired old Queenie man having drunk too much sugar can juice over the years! the Queensland politics is in a terrible state at the moment - they can't decide whether they want to be liberal or labor - maybe One Nation would suit them better ? Pummie on here I am a four star general you only two - step in line buddy!  |
