Lurching from one disaster to the next.
John Howard lost his own seat in Parliament, too.
That still remains undecided at the moment, Tom. The ALP candidate is only 500 or so votes in front and there's still a few thousand postal votes to be counted. It's looking promising but still a wait-and-see thing.
It will be extremely heartening if he does lose. He's held the seat for 33 years and will be only the second PM to lose his seat since federation 107 years ago. A fittingly humiliating end to the smug little bastard's career.

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

I spent Saturday night at my cousin's 21st birthday party at the Canberra Club, with a TV showing the election coverage in the room next door. My family, all political tragics, spent the night shuffling between the party room and the, um, Party room. It was a sweet, sweet night.
I drove up and back, seven hours each way, which left plenty of time for Wallybee and me to talk politics.

wow, has it been that long since any posts in here?
Should mention that Lil Lyin' Johnny did lose his seat. The new member for Bennelong is Maxine McKew, who is a fomer ABC reporter and host of, Lateline. Which means she had interviewed the smug bastard on many occasions.

"When the world's run by fools it's the duty of intelligence to disobey." Martin Firrell
So after many years of reading about some of your strange USian foodstuffs I bought a spray can of cheese.
Now what.
Do I just keep it as a novelty pantry decoration or are you supposed to actually eat it? And if it is for actual eating what do you do with it?
eta., and on a more serious note Australian media ownership/control is being concentrated even more in the hands of mini-Murdoch. Bugger, I was hoping that the Murdochs were your problem now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha!
It is a conundrum, I tell you what.
I think the basic idea is that you use it where you would an actual cheese. Like, maybe you get some crackers and spray the cheese on the crackers and eat that.
Erm. That's all I got, actually. Good luck to you!

Use the spray-cheese on crackers. It's sort of Velveeta-like, at least the kind my family used to get during my kidhood.
Now they have pancake-batter-in-a-spraycan here. Technology marches on, evidently.

You have gone further than I ever did even when living in the country. I vote you take it with you whenever you eat out, occasionally stroke it surreptitiously (you may narrow your eyes when you do this), and enjoy your readiness for the moment a fellow patron shouts "Food Fight!".

In theory I think spray cheese is used as "cheese sauce" on broccoli, veggies, potato and such. But a food fight sounds like a lot more fun.
