Or the poor Washington DC administrator who complained his budget was niggardly (a Scandinavian term meaning cheap or miserly) and the local ethnic chaps tried to force his resignation. After a bit they just said "never mind, just kidding."
Cheers,

What absolutely gob smacks me is the number of public servants who don't think to consult google.
If they would have googled Dr Patell there would have been no DR Death scandle & a whole lot of suffering would have been averted.

Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

You're right, I believe they mainly have fast growing Serial Monogamy, with patches of Poygamy not uncommon. Originally Posted by Iain

Hmmm... My Pedagogue (Aussie Bicycling Tours: Places To Avoid) says Kuranda is known for it's expanses of monotony. Typo? It also mentions something about large numbers of expatriate Kiwis but I don't believe that... surely not all their fathers are dead? :confused:
Anyways, I only bought it for thr front cover; it has a big red button with DON'T PNAIC! printed across it. It works... I haven't pnaiced since buying it.
