Alison, i don't mind criticism, if in fact i like it as long as it does not attack the man.

But you are a pest, like a little terrier dog snapping at one's feet continuously. LIke a broken record. Whine, whine, whine.

I suspect you will mouth off again.

A bigmouth, who likes to have last word.

FYI, I will write whatever I want to write, and it is up to Graham, not a drop kick like you, what gets published.

And now get to church, and ask for forgiveness for being a pain in the ...

Alison, I don't claim to be anything.

I am just another Australian who has a family, works and has hobbies with writing one of them.

I just write the stuff, and OLO publishes it, as have other journals and newspapers. Quadrant too published me four times 2006-2008. Not bad for a leftie given others call me a right winger.

But, if am have been rude to you, go cry to Graham.

Boo Whooo,..... You will need to try harder to be rude, Your not rude, just a typical leftist luvie of the ABC me old mate. If you want to be rude, you'll have to study professional lefties like Steelrednuts and Ateby or even pick up tips from Alan B. On the rudeness rankings your not even on the my dance card!

I knew you would have the last word.

Great job. Check mate. You win.

Thanks for informing me that i am a "typical leftist luvie".

Hey Alison, some really good ABC shows coming up. I think you will enjoy them.

You just could help it, could ya!.. Any way Chris, is you had boether to read, rather than to react to my comments, I do watch the ABC, maily for overseas drama, documentaries and of course the News... As they sy, know thine enemy! but as for Q&A, The Drum, Insiders and the like, not even a "senile old tart" like me can stand that stuff.
