Paul,

If you can show me one lie that the S&F MPs have told in Parliament I'll give you four Green MP's lies; so take up the challenge.

Foxy: Did you know that - When people are desperately thirsty they do
drink their own urine, sacred or not.

Yes I did & not only for thirst reasons. Ghandi for drank a glass of his own urine every morning. Also, some Greyhound owners give their dogs a drink of their urine to counteract Arthritis in their joints. So it's gotta be good fa somtin'.

That's why I wouldn't pour it on the likes of our incumbent terrorist supporters.

I wonder if poirot has figured out if the World is Round or Flat yet? Never did answer that question, ay.

English common law recognises the importance of urine. It specifies that one should be tried by a jury of one's peers.

Dear Jayb,

I am impressed by your examples of drinking urine.
I assume that for you - yellow ice-cubes should
seem like a perfect fit for lemonade. Perhaps you
keep your pee in the fridge and apple juice in the
toilet.

As for Poirot not answering your question about whether
the earth is flat or round. Perhaps she didn't want
to embarrass you. It appears that you're presuming that
the boundary of the universe - is a kind of
surrounding wall - that's thinking
like ancestors - who thought there's an abyss at the
edge of flat earth.

Dear David F.,

Brilliant - as always!

Hi there RUNNER...

Your comments apropos our esteemed Lawyers in the community is correct. The legal profession whatever position they hold; Solicitors, Barristers, CPS or the judiciary itself ? All are known as 'Officers of the Court'. That is to say, they have a sacred responsibility and a duty, to ensure the highest standards of the law are preserved and maintained ?

The truth is clear, as the theory and the practice, are diametrically different, as you and I well know RUNNER. And it's a very sad state of affairs in this alleged advanced nation of ours.

Believe me. I have no truck with these types of crooks at all ! However, the torturous events, the delays, the misinformation, and their cruel treatment, was almost primeval. The (overtly) obvious corruption, went right up through the entire Indonesian judiciary, as well as the government itself, and a disgrace to the entire Indonesian political system.

Consequently their actions could only be described as inhuman. Yet they have the temerity to seek mercy for their own countrymen, who're under a sentence of death in other countries. Not to forget the menacing spectre of the all powerful Indonesian military, who plays a very influential part of this whole sorry mess. And remember, Indonesians DO NOT like Australians, at all. We're perceived as being weak, and very arrogant, and cannot mind our own business in the region.

Hi again PAUL1405...

Your insight and sensitivity is truly amazing ? Your claims of being a man of peace and compassion, doesn't obscure the distinct reality, that underneath you have a remarkable ability to see through the 'monotonous' and the 'mundane' ? And the extraordinary capacity to tease out, all those extraneous and unimportant details. For the express purpose of examining the 'real issues' that tend to bewilder and confound those of us, who're less rigorous and analytical with our thoughts and emotions.

For that insight Paul, I must thank you very much indeed !

Foxy: As for Poirot not answering your question about whether the earth is flat or round. Perhaps she didn't want to embarrass you.

Sorry, I don't do embarrass. Poirot, in keeping with her Terrorist friends, "should" say that the Earth is Flat, otherwise she would be an Apostate & you know what that would mean for her. Ay.

It appears that you're presuming that the boundary of the universe - is a kind of surrounding wall - that's thinking like ancestors - who thought there's an abyss at the edge of flat earth.

No, I believe that the Universe has no boundaries. A bit like the relationship between Atoms, Molecules, etc, only on a grander scale, maybe.

Remember the old story of the old Jewish lady, who, when asked what held the World up. She said it was on the back of a turtle, & what held the turtle up, Elephants! & what held the Elephant up. She said, "It's Elephants..., all the way down." ;-)

Foxy: I am impressed by your examples of drinking urine.

Thank you. I'm retired & have always been very curious about everything.

Foxy: I assume that for you - yellow ice-cubes should seem like a perfect fit for lemonade.

Hey, I never thought of that, Hmmm... but I don't drink soft drinks. Maybe two cans of Coke a year & very little alcohol. A carton of Harn Light lasts me a whole year & a six pack of Red about the same.

Foxy: Perhaps you keep your pee in the fridge.

I hear that's where the Greyhound trainers keep it.

Actually I should tell my wife about that cure. She has bad Arthritis. She has had her hands reconstructed & on Monday is having her foot done. She'll be in bed, at my mercy, for the next three months, the Surgeon tells me. She's got me a Medi-alert. I'll be run off my feet for a while.

Foxy: and apple juice in the toilet.

Well..., after I've run it passed my Kidneys, anyway. ;-)

Luv ya.
