<< Ludwig! Bloke! Why not? bit feeble now come on admit it, how would we ever become America? >>

Tis not me Belly who is comparing an Australian republic with the USA example!

<< Our republic will never be driven by politicians.. >>

Huh? Erm, I think it would be!

<< Just think Dame Edna as President? >>

Mmwaaahahahaaa. Somehow I think she, er… he, er…. Ms Everage, would make a damn sight better pres than whatever goose we end up with as our first republic leader!

I mean, most of us think very little of Gillard or Abbott, or of any recent PM. So what do you think we are going to make of the first president? Ridicule ad-nauseum…..unless it is someone who can ENTERTAIN THE MASSES!!

So…yeah… Dame Edna for Pres!

If she were to become our first pres, I could almost support the idea of us becoming a republic!! ( :>)

<< Lexi/Poirot… It should be of some comfort that it only takes the two of you to raise the average IQ and the tone of the threads you join. >>

Pfpfpfff….. Ludwig razes it twise as much as them too cobm…cobmined…comboined…er,, put togetha!

<< Just imagine what it would be like here if it was only up to us who are anatomically challenged… >>

Anatomically challenged?

Phoowey. I’ve got a really big……erm, brane!

.

<< I have to add that there are some posters on this forum that have really brilliant communication skills (and intelligence), that I couldn't possibly hope to match. Poirot is one, Pelican is another, then there's - Squeers, Pericles, of course yourself, Anthonyve, Thinker 2, Houllebecque (who scares the daylights out of me - he's so brilliant), and of course I love Belly… >>

LEXIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII…… what about MEEEEE?? ?? ?? ??

Pericles? ? ? ?

Ohhh… puleeease!!

You're welcome of course, Lexi… But on rethinking my arithmetic I'm not sure that I worded the expression as best I could since I said it took the 'two of you' - whereas for comparison, Pericles and Houllebecq can do it single-handedly.

(And I've heard a rumour that one of them actually does!)

Now… Ludwig. Hmmm – a strange conflation of claiming IQ raising whilst simultaneously misreading anatomically challenged as a reference to… 'erm, brane' size, when it was cleverly indicating the mere presence of a… 'erm, brane' (to use your euphemism) regardless of size. But at least now we know you've got a really big… erm, imagination. And at a guess it's fevered too?

As a method of begging for it – do you find "Ohhh… puleeease!!" works?

Lexi and Poirot on a thread together is a joy to behold, all that feminine wisdom with a hint of moustachioed detective is a hard combination to beat.

WmTrevor,

"(And I've heard a rumour that one of them actually does)"....which allows Poirot to ruminate upon a theory of his : )

Morning all , frosty as Liz smile is some times here this morning.
Please forgive Ludwig.
Look we chucked the whole deal because Polly's wanted their way.
But not joking you know,remember it was my mob who made the old girl a dame.
And not kidding, conservative and all, if both party's do not take out the rubbish soon I will support the Dame as PM.
We already regard it as a circus so why not laugh to gether.
Any other nominations for our head of state.
Seeing its us, and we like a grin why must it be president?
Lets call it say the *Top Swamp Wallaby*
IF we must be fair dinkum, Dawn Fraser, Noel Pierson, a host of them.
Belly's list?
Dame Edna, All of the above in the good posters list except me.

I was thinking, as the old duck has been top cocky here in Oz for some 60 years, and with all the scandals this mob have been involved in since the year dot. The latest scandal being the whole crowd hanging out with convicted sex offender Harbinder Singh Rana, but then again I ask you, what family doesn't hang out with sex offenders in turbans.
I think this pommie mob have gone stale on us and its about time we dumped on them and adopted a new royal family. So I've done a bit of research into the matter to see if we in Oz could cut a better deal.
Your not going to believe this! But Queen Bittiewantoo XXVI of Ethiopia, the great granddaughter of Emperor Haile Selassie, and wife of Prince Waddibogbog, are at this point in time, as they say in show business, between engagements.
As I understand it Queen Bittie and Prince Waddie along with Crown Prince Totietoto-Hubshambobo are ready, willing and able to relocate to Oz at a moments notice, and all they require is that the royal estate has a bit of space for the royal herd of 600 rare Ethiopian Bongo Gazelles and other assorted animals.
So if any of you royalist out there have a spare back room and a bit of a yard Queen Bittiewntoo and Prince Waddiebogbog along with Crown Prince Totie what's his name, would love to hear from you. I'm sure there is a knighthood in this for the right person.
p/s These royals only dine on the fruit a the Sabarchie vine, so it would pay to check out if you local green grocer has a good stock of Sabarchie melons.
I told you you wouldn't believe it!
