I also subscribe to a list on speeders/put-puts, but the Cabin fever material usually starts just after Christmas. Heres GR talking about the pillage of Gnomes! Heres some info on Neville Bonner. http://www.abc.net.au/news/features/obits/bonner/bonner_bio.htm The term "Neville" for garden ornaments in the appearance of an indigenous warrior was made very popular by an Australian Sit-com that was very politically incorrect "Kingswood Country". The show centred around a racist (in todays values anyway) bloke, Ted Bullpitt (yep, there are lots of ways that can be spun into a line) who drove a Kingswood (built by GM's (subsidised by my governments) Australian Brand, Holden). He had such a statue in his garden! all sorts of terrible things happened to Neville! heres a link for more on Kingswood country http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingswood_Country As for the earlier comments re crime in australia - its a bit like watching American Sitcoms - the telly here shows all the death and gore holliwood can produce, and the news shows all the murders etc etc so one could believe if you don't get mugged murdered and or raped when stateside, you ain't been. yet I managed a month in North America, drove the freeways of LA, and did not get mugged, raped or murdered or even experience road rage. Rather, I met some great people! reminds me of the old statistics/lies quote - same can be said for the media!
