Retraction

OK. Had a bit of feedback and a subsequent think. The result being that I'll try to be more careful with my wording in future - I can see why some of this would read as quite offensive so I'll try to rectify this by sticking more to the facts and trying to avoid the polemic as much as possible. Am still getting over the shock of anyone actually giving a damn about what I say or think, which makes a change after almost 6 and-a-half years here.

Have pretty much run out of puff at the moment anyway, so this should be going slower than a paternity test at Tony Abbot's house for this week.

Oh yea: and I would like to retract yesterday's statement about how Australians couldn't explain cause and effect if you hit them in the face and blood came out of their nose. Apparently they went on a weekend course and now can.
