The Winds of Change

Well done Ruddsy you've done well.

I got a phone call at 7:30am on Saturday morning from my parentals in Australia to let me know the good news, apparently people in their street were letting off fireworks ! I thought that was a bit extravagant don't you? Oh well any excuse for a piss up.

On another note I have been tagged by the ianandan expedition with a lovely little '8 things' meme so here we go...

Little Johnny Howard

The G-man and I got our ballot papers in the mail on Friday !! Yehaaaaaaaaaaa and we took great pride in putting Little Johnny Howard where he belongs. We proudly sealed our votes and posted them straight back the Australian High Commission as soon as possible.

You're going down Johnny Tennis Shoes You're Going Down !

On another note, what is with the strange parties now? I was seriously tempted to vote for Senator on-line!! Is that some strange virtual politician or something? Wouldn't really make that much of a difference really.Or What Women Want Australia? You know what I want? I want John Howard to get the fuck out of here. There were a few other strange ones as well, something about climate change and oh yeah the Australian Shooters Party - now that's a goer.

You know, it is also good to see that One Nation is still kicking about - the racist bell ends, because for a moment there I thought that we only had the Liberal party to push the anti-Aboriginal, anti-homosexual anti-bloody-everything policies in our Government.

You know what they say about Little Johnny Tennis Shoes - he's only patting you on the back to find the best place to stab you.

Makes me smile
