Great you adopted a dog and gave them a furever home (as they say).  The NSW Police Dog Squad just got their first littler of springer spaniel puppies.  Cute as buttons.

Great that you have given an oldie a new home Louie and may he have some good years and times ahead.
Our oldest is somewhere around 15 years now, we having adopted him a bit over 14 years ago and we often wondered what mixtures of breeds he may have been and now are pretty certain from good advice that there’s a lot of Briard in him, a very hairy and dog hair loser fella though he ain’t himself.
Dogs just love to have a doggy smell about them but he’s not do bad unless he has found something extraordinarily good to roll in.

Is it stoicism and persistence or stupidity???? Have a good look at some of their posts and one has to wonder as to the mental stability of these gentlemen.
  I do believe that see themselves akin to the little Dutch boy who saved the country by sticking his finger in the dyke without realising that that one leak was just a small leak compared to the catastrophic failing of the dyke at a different level. What good plugging one leak when the wall itself is falling down.

You would need to be drinking heaps of milk to take the 11 cents/l levy anywhere near close to impact of the CT.

Could be a ‘recycling tax’ soon if the reports in the paper are to be believed.

One thing you can guarantee when the conservatives get in.  Flat taxes and plenty of them,  I see the O’Farrell Government is considering another one for ratepayers so as to aid property developers.  Is this the 4th or the 5th flat tax proposal from this part of the people?  I have lost count.

I just read about him.  Boy, didn’t our Australian Olympic authorities punish him and then ALL the squad by not sending them to the following Olympics.  I wish I could have shaken Mr. Norman’s hand.

I’ve felt a building up of issues around our Olympic Committee and I won’t be surprised if I heard they were being investigated - finances and the lot - in the next years.  Not suggesting they are rorting etc, but I feel it is perhaps time for a clean out of that organisation.

I used to work with Peter, he was a very nice bloke but I never was game enough to ask him about that day.

It’s interesting to note that Carlos and Smith both gave eulogies and were pallbearers at his funeral so his gesture obviously meant a great deal to them.

Not so surprised to read the authorities effectively ended his career after that. Amazed to read he was snubbed from anything to do with Sydney 2000. 2000! Not the dark ages. It’s not as if we have a swag of sprint medalists so I’m sure he worthy of at least an invite.  God we’re a bunch rednecks sometimes!

I doubt she’ll want to be crowing too loudly about Queensland being beautiful and perfect with the weather the way it has been of late and very unusual for this time of the year.
