Dear Stern,

Ah, yes the old chestnut -
of a "socialist preference,"
referral.

It always seems to come up,
as do the old Thatcher quotes.

"Your Choice Australia: Vote Liberal
or roast in hell!"

"Moraler Than Thou!"

We get it!

Stern,

May I congratulate you on your last excellent rambling post.

For some reason, it brought to mind a "Blackadder" episode (Series Two) titled, if I remember correctly, "Turnip Puritans" - wherein the lady (puritan) explained that while her husband was required take his ease by sitting on a spike, she instead sat on his lap - because two spikes would have been an extravagance.

Foxy “Vote Liberal
or roast in hell!"

Reviewing my post I see no reference to hell or other hot spots.

Are you trying to impart some subtlety of comment? If you are I would suggest subtlety is not your forte

Although taking a theme from your comment, I must admit, since Rudd/Gizzards & Co took over the reigns of state

The economy has been forcefully overheated with dimulous packages and profligate spending on things like insulation inspired house fires

The budget surplus has been roasted to the point of ruination

Emotions have run “hot” as people have lost the ability to keep up with socialist inspired fuel price increases

Our supposed warming climate is attracting flotsam and jetsam of a duskier hue by their thousands, in leaky boats (i am waiting for the owl and the pussycat to make an appearance)

And the whole country does seem to be going to hell-in-a-hand-basket, having the chastening experience of the failings of socialist incompetence.

So, maybe, for once, you are right

“Vote Liberal or roast in hell!"

I think I will have some bumper stickers made



Poirot “Turnip Puritans" yes i recall that episode too...

Very humorous

Although, I preferred the 1914 series, where the Generals Aide, a particularly odious twit, was called “Darling”

I am sure you could relate to that too, darling

or maybe you prefer "impalement"...

lets face it, you will get fewer fun filled choices under labor...

but on the bright side, at least your spike will be of equal length to everyone else.

Stern,

...sweetheart...but lets not get carried away.

I might point out that men like Darling were obsequious products of the British class system of the day....Tally, Bally Ho! - and all that.

Foxy,

This thread was about JG, Feel free to throw stones at TA.

>> This thread was about JG <<

That's right this discussion was set up to disparage Australia's first female Prime Minister.

Now get back on topic.

If people wish to discuss whether anyone's sex life affects their professional work life, then they are free to start a discussion on that topic. This is all about dissing Julia.

Congratulations Shadow Minister, where would we be without you?

PS

Col Stern is now warning us of 'reds' in the bed.

:P
