    <chortle> I sent a letter to theSydney Morning Herald saying

    "So it's blackfellas overboard this election then hey ?"

    But the buggers didn't print it :)

    (the new editor does a great line in barracking for the liberal party
    so I'm not surprised.)

    I hear indigenous people were throwing their children off Uluru in an
    attempt to become Australians. We should ban them to some godforsaken place
    in the desert where there's nothing to do except get drunk on the white
    man's money. Oooh, hang on, we already did....

    I thought that was the year we got rid of the pounds shillings and
    pence?

    But it makes it a little hard to say "We will decide ...." when
    they're already here doesn't it?

    Nah, we'll ship them all of to Nauru. They're all new Australians after all.
    Apart from a couple who had honorary citizenship, there were no aborigenes
    here in 1956. Check the census.

    indeed it was - a fair exchange, I believe - lose a few pounds, gain a
    little betty (and I was even littler then!)

    very astute observation

    I don't have a lot of pretentiousness left. I've been riding the VMoto Milan
    around some, but I don't think I would do that in yellow leathers.

    Absolutely not.

    When/if I get even older and even sillier, I'm sure I'll end up owning a
    Guzzi too.

    Clearly you need a test ride. What are you doing this weekend?

    Duty this Sunday, husbandly stuff this Saturday.

    I was looking at a Cali EV today.

    Nice wire wheels with spokes thru the edges of the rims, so you can have
    tubeless tyres.

    Ugly big headlight fairing, but easily fixed.

    Foot boards! :-| again, I assume, easily fixed.

    But apparently the owner wants 16 grand. (Said to be "on consignment" at
    Bikebiz.

    If you don't want footboards and fairing, then there's plenty of other
    Cali variants.

    And as long as it's a Tonti frame, you can put an auto gearbox
    in if you can find one...
