Oh Foxy, & me with small feet. All the easier to put in some would say.

And what is wrong with April fools day Craig?

I'll have you know I & 5 others joined the navy on April fools day, 1958. I even have a photograph, with the date proudly displayed on it to prove it.

It has always tickled my fancy that they waited until after midday for the swearing in ceremony. They assured the thing did not apply after lunch.

Not a thing, Hasbeen, it's a perfect solution.

Dear Hasbeen,

You with small feet?

You know what they say about men with small feet?

But I'm sure its not true in your case. ;-)

Dear O Sung Wu,

Of course as a police officer you would speak
from your own experience. As Dick Smith and
Benjamin Thomas Jones have done in the links I cited.
And for me? My experience has been limited. I have
not been back to Sydney for many years so I don't
know how and if the suburbs have changed. My limited
experiences have been very positive thus far.
Most of the people I've encountered from a multitude
of cultures and religions through my work and in my
contacts have been very positive.

Therefore -
I've become tired of the mainstream reporting over recent
weeks in our media. You would think we are living in
the twilight zone, where fear and loathing trumps calm
debate and reason. Media outlets currently beating
the drums of war and whipping the country into fear
and paranoia are the same media outlets who urged us
to go into Iraq a decade ago. Old habits die hard
apparently.

Hi again FOXY...

I'm sorry FOXY I don't mean to upset you. You're right for most part, where you see only positive results of immigration, as it should be. Where I see only the seamier, more unsavoury side, and even then, only one particular demographic.

Happy 'Australia Day' everybody, whatever the date that it should be held ? We are indeed a very lucky people, living in the best country in the world !

No Foxy.

I think I must have led a sheltered life.

What do they say about men with small feet.

Dear Hasbeen,

You led a sheltered life - in the Navy?

Amazing.

I can't believe that you've never heard these
quips - "Big in the shoe = big in the pants."
And "Small in the shoe = small in the pants."

Of course all this was based on anecdotal
evidence.

However recently urologists dared ti test this
theory - and came up, ahem, a little short.
