Very “polite” of you not to mention that Sophie Black ate all the pizza and you were forced to “beg for change” at the vending machine FD. 😀
However….Your excellent summary of the budget bonanza, is so entertaining, it even makes up for having to listen to Wayne doing his Churchill impressions.
4* and an elephant stamp!!

Swannee in the fiery chariot drawn by Tiffanee and Sienna was an unexpected highlight this evening.

A thought: is Firsty actually in Canberra?

It wasn’t good for me, was it good for you?
Maybe I did it wrong again.

Doggy, I’m covered for the next ten year’s T-shirt needs. Are you ever going to do something in pants ? BTW, somebody climbed the fence and knocked off my FDotM socks.

I think it was Holden. No reason. Just a hunch. What were you doing on the night of the other day, H ?

So…. if FD Industries (sweat shop to the leisure classes) is going to expand the apparel range, I think undies with skid marks already printed on them might be more resistant to theft. Or maybe if you printed a toon of Andr*w B*l* on the inside, we could all have the pleasure of sitting on his face.

Come to think of it, while I’ve gone all toilety, many moons ago when a former conservative PM was in power, I bought my Dad a toilet roll with “Fr*ser” printed in vegetable dye on every sheet. I think the Power House Museum in Sydney has one of the rare surviving rolls to this very day.

Time for a modern retro equivalent. So many candidates from which to choose.
