Dear Hassie,

The job may attract incompetent people,
but it's the competent ones that get it
so you can breathe easy.

Sorry Foxy.

If you want to make that claim, you'll have to name at least one UN Secretary General that was competent.

Please don't try too hard, you shouldn't be straining yourself yet.

How is the recovery going by the way?

Dear Hassie,

There's a few that come to mind:

1) Kurt Waldheim (Austria)
2) Dag Hammarskjold (Sweden)
3) Kofi A. Annan (Ghana)
4) Boutros Boutros-Ghali (Egypt)

I'm improving with walking thanks to physio.
Still a bit wobbly - but doing better.
However, my shoulder hurts dreadfully (they're
letting it heal naturally and it is a pain).
They offered to operate on the shoulder and re-structure
it with this false device. I took one look at it
and said - "I'll wait and see if it gets any worse
thanks."

I didn't like the look of this artificial
ball and socket. But I suppose I'm being silly -
afterall they've stuck a big plate in my leg and
it's working fine. What turned me off (apart from
the look of it) was the fact that the specialist
told me there was a risk of a stroke with the
shoulder operation.
That did it.

Orthopedic surgeons are being inundated with the problems of morbid obesity. Over 90% of problems have to do with excess weight. -Of particular concern with the slack-arsed Baby Boomers, especially the women, who were raised as princesses by doting parents and did SFA exercise.

In kindness, get out more and the other solution, smaller serves.

As for the report quoted in the OP, there would be no doubt at all that it would have come from Kudd707's own extensive marketing and publicity machine.

Now for the nasty bit, the taxpayer is funding his office, staff and travel, all parts of that beaut golden handshake that ex-PMs (and politicians) receive and regardless of how he stuffed Australia.

'Big Australia' Rudd is the darling of astroturfing NGOs and other grubs who made millions out of the disgusting criminal people smuggling scam. On the bright side, he was not a signed-up Fabian like other Labor leaders, which contributed to his downfall at the hands of opportunist Fabian Gillard and the horrendous defamation of him by the Fabians and Union tools who dominate the Labor Caucus.

Wrong again Onthebeach.

"The body mass index (BMI) distribution varies between men and women. The distribution for men peaks at higher values, indicating that overweight/obesity is more common in men (70%) than in women (56%)." (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - 2015. www.aihw.gov.au )

So if we follow your words of wisdom above then the boys were obviously treated more like little princes than the girls then aye?

Foxy, I am sorry to hear of your pain. Shoulder pain is certainly difficult to control.
At least your fingers can still type out responses to OLO :)

Suseonline,

You would always know better than medical specialists.

Try Googling orthopedic and have a chat with a doctor. Don't you claim some involvement in community health?
