No, the Australian Labor Party. The Liberals are the conservative party here.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That amuses me Gus...Ok, what's the German for "punk-ass bitch..." (Hey maybe that's the translation of my family name or something...maybe I don't want to know.)

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
what's the German for "punk-ass bitch..."
"Weibchen des Punk-Esels", I think.
That is the point, about The Wire. The translation of the slang is just off by a concept or two. It hits you later, like "Oh! He didn't mean 'furnace', he meant 'burner'!"
eta: A burner is a cell phone that is sold with a certain number of minutes enabled. When the minutes are gone, you chuck it out. It can also be a stolen cell phone, one that will work until the owner cancels the account, at which point you chuck it out.

wrod...descended from "burn-bag" which looks like drugs, but is really baking soda.They are hazardous to a bunky's health...the bags not the phones, which are the finest in yo-tech.)

An Australian friend send me a link to this picture on a blog that the Austro-Buffistas upset at their election results might get a bitter laugh at:

Thanks Theo, you made MY day!
Hi all, 2 weeks till exams, 5 assignments to complete, I'll disappear in a puff of smoke very soon.
Fay, I DID and WAS thinking of you and anxiously waited for the Englishwoman in Egypt to reappear and post that she was OK. How horrible, words can't .... well I guess they can but I can't right now. Why am I studying to be a politics/history/international relations secondary school teacher ... I don't think I can really answer that right now either.
On a slightly lighter note, have your parents gone grey yet, what with you in Egypt and your sister's past proximity to SARS?

So sorry, Fay...I keep meaning to say so, and get distracted. But, still glad it's not One of Ours, if you'll follow me.

Trying to post this where she may see it on time: according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Fiona's birthday.
Happy birthday, Fiona! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Thanks Nilly! Woke up to a grey rainy day today, with a son who refused point blank to sing Happy Birthday. Things can only get better!
