Better than you old chap... As for your British slurs', I assume you think Chamber lain was right and that Whitlam was a Saint!.... we would be speaking Japanese or German, worst still Italian or Arabic. Check your history mate.. try not to be a smart arse... or you might look like Kamal Hharris in the VP debate. Hope the lightning ain't scaring you.

China will agress... it whether the West will respond... I guess you will be in a bunker with greenies hugging vials of precious species seed/sperm/eggs

Enjoy the rain if you live in Sydney.

Alison Jane,

Be a good girl now and one day Squadron Leader West (aka Hasbeen) will take you for a jaunt in his imaginary fighter plane from his imaginary aircraft carrier.

Whoopee doo!. You are such a plonker. I gave up trying to being funny at Grammar School, that a school where you have to win a place and learn history, latin, French, German... before you are allowed to focus on Science like I did. may be one day in your "la la land safe pace" you might be Enlighted. Your silly jokes are cruel to new posters. Grow up and Still I say enjoy the rest of the weekend and "Be Happy"

Just when you think things can't get any worse look at this hot off the web news sites:

Plus Australia, the US, India and Japan are going to have major naval exercises in China's backyard the South China Sea.

Talk about poking a stick into a hornets nest.

Poor old Australia: caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. We need the US to defend us but also need all the cashed up Chinese we can siphon off from the Asian mainland.

Alison Jane,

It's good to see you had an opportunity to get introduced to the Arts subjects but did you study Latin, German and French at university, where it really counts?

You really are a smart-arse. Only to 16 year old, but at a Proper Grammer School in the UK.... So that's probably Uni level where you must have studies!

Have a nice day! and Bonjour, Auf Weidersen petal!
