Diuretic

No worries Bosco - not a problem at all. It's bloody dry here - another drought summer I'm afraid.

Sorry about the mix-up there mate.

Hows Aus?

I think it's still okay Odin, I only go to two now, this is one of those two (obviously) and it would need a lot to stop me coming back.

this forum i s not fun place to b e anymore

vielen Dank* Ostap, that is very kind and may you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a brilliant New Year. :)

No, I don't speak German but I remember when I was visiting Germany a few polite phrases to use. I can also order two beers in German but that's it :D

I wish you very marry Christmas and Happy New Year. God bless you and your Family!

I didn't have to worry about exams, just needed to complete a bit of work. Hopefully it was acceptable, I won't know for a while of course. Then study period 1 next year I'll be loading up on research methods for the research work I have to do. Enjoy your break KB!

Yep, exams are over and I am FREE!!! Party time.

Thanks for the rep.

Lev I think we did it only because we're a bunch of frightened ninnies lol

Actually it was probably as a result of the frighteners from the Great Depression and also our small size as a nation that made it possible. I will give credit where it's due. Previous federal governments of all persuasions have been prudent.

Thanks for the link Diurtetic.

It's good to hear you've got decent regulation, that sound slike a dream to me in the UK. :D

Lev - the feds are sticking to the line that can weather this. But really that depends on commodity prices and China continuing to grow. Our financial system is pretty well regulated though, so while the ASX is going down the banks - we hope! - won't go bust

Try http://www.theaustralian.com.au - it's Murdoch rag but it's not too bad.

I was reading that the ASX had a terrible day yesterday aswell, do you know if your government has any plans to try and reverse the crisis Diuretic?

Good for you both Infinate - all my cats have been foundlings or from a shelter.

Hello Lev - been okay thank you - spring here now and it's getting a bit warmer

Yeah, the cat's name is Monte. Shelter rescue at less than 8 weeks old. Turned out to be a handsome boy. My wife dotes on our cats!

Hey Diuretic, thanks for the rep, I'm sure there's a lot of good people here too.

How you been anyway?

I've tried to wrestle with the anarchist philosophies but my intellectual shortcoming prevent me from understand them. However, from what I do know I like the ideas. One of my annoyances is Lenin and his privileging of the Party, that killed off any march towards the withering away of the state.

I saw your comment about being a "cranky socialist." It's obviously quite expansive, but have you ever read The Anarchist FAQ?

Thanks Diuretic for the rep comment! Don't know many people who like that beeotch - scuse my french....LOL

Ideology? Left of centre, sometimes more left than centre but always left of centre. I like to think about the issues though Skinny, I hate being told by a factional leader what I can think or how I can vote. Cranky socialist - that'll do lol

Always wondered... what ideology are you?

Thanks for the rep Diuretic, i'll return it but i still gotta spread the lovin' before i can give you another.

I haven't been back to see the fallout from that thread. Is it bad?

The Soviet Union didn't take Germany until America opened a new front in France. Oh don't forget the constant bombing from the US. LOL- Russia took down Germany.... After the war don't forget about 40 years of occupation.
