Why we are low on oil

[Stuart]

steady on fellas. Not all of us in Canberra are spawn of the devil. Most of us, but not all of us!

Trav

Uh. No, you all are. Sorry.

Our dipsticks are located in Canberra.

And the people who need to use them are still waiting on instructions from Washington.

Thats why johnny howards nickname is "bonzai", he's just another little bush

[Wood Borer]

Thanks Doug, it's all clear to me now.

I thought they were saying he was a bonza bloke which didn't make any sense to me.

Canberra bashers,

It never occurs to y'all that all the politicians come fro myour own bloody states, rather than canberra itself, furthermore they are in town very, very rarely. So **** off with your canberra bashing!

Following that through to an inevitable conclusion
"we are low on oil because of WA pollies"



see - no Canberra bashing at all :eek: :eek:

More conclusions ... we happy Canberraites are only responsible for a few of the pollies ... the rest of you dump them here .... grumble grumble ...

Hmmmm ...

BEGIN Hijack

I wish our 'founding parents', put the new town of Canberra at Dalgetty as it's roughy geographically half way between Sydney and Melbourne. That way
a. I'd be closer to the snowy mountains (my favorite place outside of the shed) be
it winter or summer
b. They would have had a decent road between both Melbourne and Canberra as well as
Sydney and Canberra AND since it would have been more equi-distant I could drive
to both the Sydney AND Melbourne WWW shows ....


END Hijack.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

I wish they'd plonked it in NZ. Then we could send the pollies off with a kiwi under each arm and set up decent defences on the east-board coast.

[Daddles]

We did try to set up our capital in New Zealand. Even sent over all our politicians at one point. The kiwis sent them back saying they didn't produce a big enough wool clip and were more stupid than the sheep :eek:

How could the kiwis send them back?

All the kiwis live over here

As a matter of interest the breakdown of all the pollies that gather here is:
House of Reps
ACT 2
NSW 50
NT 2
QLD 28
SA 11
TAS 5
VIC 37
WA 15
Senate
ACT 2
NSW 12
NT 12
QLD 12
SA 12
Tas 12
VIC 12
WA 12
That's a grand total of 226 of which only 4 represent the ACT or Canberra. And no I am not a public servant either.
Cheers

Baz is right on the money. The pollies are mostly yours and just remember that the often maligned Commonwealth Public Servants (CPS) do a very good job. If the big house on the hill was zapped by Martians (what an intriguing thought!) life in Australia would continue to function very well.

As a former CPS, for some 8 years I will say that the work ethic in my Department (Finance) was excellent and the commitment to producing first class work was second to none. I am proud to have been a Public Servant.

On a different note how about some positive comments. I think most of us would agree that Australia is a wonderful country to live and work. Sure there are problems but we are living in the real world, not the Garden of Eden. So how about we say that the glass is half full not half empty and be thankful we live in Australia.

Hope you all have wonderful lives.

Cheers

FWIW the glass is always full, not half full or half empty.

The trouble is most of the time only half the contents are worthwhile the rest is just air and not worth a cracker.
