"Those who merely WANT guns -- types who watch American TV and indulge in American pastimes like injecting cocaine --- thankfully, are kept gun free. I have been to the US and find our arrangement works better for all concerned."How does it feel to be totally and completely brain-washed? Just curious.............

My brother lives in Vermont and just related a story about a coyote that went after a buddy of his. The guy was able to fend of the coyote or coydog or whatever it was, but was absolutely shaken by its boldness. Evidently there are no more little critters, raccoons, woodchucks, or even deer cuz these dogs are eating them up! V's wife.

ROL: you would be surprised that a huge number of Aussies and Commonwealth people (from all corners of the political spectrum) think like him.
Still, I travel around a lot and tend to follow the 'When in Rome' philosophy.
When I moved to New York there were things that really bugged me at first - like the monstrous tips workers expect you to give them, the ridiculous Eight Ball Pool rules they employ and the fact that many American men want to pick an argument with you in a bar just because you speak with a 'funny' accent. (The ladies are rather more friendly...)
After a while you just think - 'why fight it?' And blend in. Which is why many of my British New York friends now actually speak with American accents.
Mine however remains the same plummy pseudo-public school type that never leaves you!

so please don't blame it on our gun laws with all due respect, why are you hanging out in an American conservative forum ? -

I have been to the US and find our arrangement works better for all concerned. You're lucky you don't live in the US because you'd get your f**king head blown off for welching on bets.
"The cheque is in the mail", my arse.
You are the epitomy of the criminal left.

What's A Jelly Baby's Worst Enemy? There is a candy in Australia called "Jelly Babies," similar to Gummi Bears.
When I visited Australia years ago, there was a joke floating around based on the incident where a baby had gotten eaten by a dingo (wild dog) near Ayer's Rock, a famous rock formation in the outback.
The joke went:
Q. What is a Jelly Baby's worst enemy?

Sheep farmers are being terrorized by packs of half-dingo, half-mastiff wild dogs they say roam the countryside and pose a danger to humans. Sounds like a new export opportunity: herd em and send em to Korea.

,,, glad we don't have this problem in New Zealand. I heard last weekend that 1994 predictions for lamb prices in 2001 were $NZ46 per head, at that time they were $NZ40. The average lamb price is now $NZ64 and sales at $NZ80 per head aren't uncommon, with the largest [not common] going for up to $NZ120. Sheep weights are 1kg on average since then too. Quite a good return.

Britain has the most expert armed police in the world!
You evidently don't know about Texas' Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers (Peace Officers)
To: TEXASPROUD
True, but being from London I suppose I'm biased. Being from Texas, I guess you are too!

"Wild dogs have thrived since national park rangers abandoned a program of dropping poisoned meat baits from planes and helicopters four years ago."
Wrong!! They probaly have been thriving since the socialist government there confiscated privately owned firearms!!!!!

I do remember landing at Gatwick and coming across an armed patrol consisting of a Constable with an MP-5 and an Inspector to give him clearence to shoot, but what an Inspector. She stood 6'3", blond, gorgeous, with some of the hottest legs in London. Damn she should have been used for the recruiting posters for the Met. I can't believe you don't have a picture of her on your website which I have been to a couple of times. Keep your powder dry

"National Wild Dog Summit" Sounds like something you schedule two week vacation for and pack lots of beer. Tattoo optional.
