Gladly.
And since you're up there can I toss you a cloth? We're converting a room into a library and the walls need a good rinse.

Thanks all. Loads to think about. Just two points.
1) Yes I have been requested to not post to this person. I have broken that twice. The first was an attempt at an amicable parting of ways and a request that she not post to me. The second was the post we are discussing now. She has also broken my request not to post to her on two occasions. Both times to express how very offended she was with me.
So the moral of that is: we are both as bad as each other in that respect. Ugh. I just wanted to say that in case people are thinking I am continually breaking her requests and *harassing* her.
But yeah. Point taken. The cycle stops here.
2) Second point. My posts weren't deleted because I was requested not to post to her, or because she was offended (apparantly). It was made clear they were deleted because the *content* was objectionable.
IMO not so. Not so *very objectionable* that it warranted a deletion.
I anticipated she would be offended.
I didn't take that terribly personally though.
There isn't really a good time to say what I did.
I thought it might be useful to her one day
When she was ready.But by deleting them the good is gone and all that is left is the bad.
Whatever.

To qualify the *whatever*
This is no good
This is no goodWe'll be asking Dr B for a board to deal with admin issues at PC next.
Or at least I will.
I just don't know what to do with it when you can't post about it. So I post about it somewhere I don't get into trouble for posting about it. But it is fairly inappropriate.
So.
There it is.
PS. Good point Dinah. You are right :-)
But there are only so many hours in the day and you guys keep me happily amused more than you should anyways :-)

I should have also said I'm sorry this was so upsetting for you. So, I've given you my opinion on the whole thing. Care for a hug, now?

Take care,

Although, here are a few Aussie jokes...
How can you tell the virgin wool in nz?
They are the sheep that can run faster than the farmers.Why is NZ called the land of the long white cloud?
Cause god likes to cover up his mistakes.How can you tell the bride at a nz wedding?
She's the one wearing the white gumboots.

I'll try not to, but I've been dramatically unsuccessful for 40 years now so I can't promise anything =0)
I'm a Sydney boy. currently posting you from my desk at work overlooking the harbour and Opera House and out to the heads. Lifes hard. Actually live about 40 mins west by train, out near a place called Parramatta (the so-called geographic heart of Sydney). Yes that makes me a loooooong suffering Waratahs supporta.
What's the only thing more depressing than watching the Waratahs on TV?
Watching them live.
One of the funniest things Clive James ever said was: "Why did God create America?" ......"So there was a place to keep Americans!" Ouch.
Croc jokes are okay as is pretty much anything else. I've got pretty thick skin - goes with the head! Still doing a bit of emotional big wave surfing as part of my withdrawal - bought 20 CDs in the last 2 days, and there's only one real dud amoung them
Oops gotta go. Take care ey.

> I'm a Sydney boy. currently posting you from my desk at work overlooking the harbour and Opera House and out to the heads.
Cool. Have to admit the only place I have been in Sydney is the airport. Well, I had to taxi round from international to domestic so I saw a little tiny bit of Sydney too ;-). I do have to say that I was very impressed with the ashtray. A nice big metal one with sand in it and everyone stood their butts upright. I almost took a picture :-) You can get a good view of the opera house as you fly in. Amazing.
I have been to Tasmania and Canberra. Spent close to 3 months in Canberra last summer. Peoples tell me that they are hardly representitive of the rest of Australia, though. Have you been to NZ?
>Actually live about 40 mins west by train, out near a place called Parramatta (the so-called geographic heart of Sydney). Yes that makes me a loooooong suffering Waratahs supporta.
Hmm. And there are the Parramatta Eels too, aren't there. (Is one rugby and the other league??? - I'm not much of a sports nut.)

I passed through Sydney once and spent the night. I didn't know anything about the town really, so I found a hotel I knew was on my company's budget.
Ended up in Kings Cross. What a hoot!
I should have figured something was different about my choice by the strange look the cabbie gave me.

Talk about a freak show. Oh God, I've just realised that it's in the next couple of weeks - better dust of the biohazard suit.

> The airport ey. Now there's a representative slice of Oz if ever there was one. Geez with our taxi drivers you were probably lucky to get there.
He did pretty good. I was waiting to bus between domestic and international not realising you have to go quantas to get the free transfer. He had to step on it a bit and he did admirably :-)
> Can you believe I've never been out of the country!No way! Okay, so I have only been to Australia and Norfolk Island...
>But it's never too late to start. How on Earth did you survive 3 mths in Canberra???
It wasn't so bad.
>Tassie is beautiful but just way smaller and slower than most anywhere else.
Yeah. Bit like Christchurch NZ. Church on every block. Verrrrrrrry conservative. Town shuts at 4pm. We got directed to the 'tourist areas' just to grab an evening meal. But beautiful, yeah.
>I'm still coming to grips with 3mths in Canberra. The only people who live there are pollies, public servants and porn distributers (so I'm told) ;0)
Now now, there is a very nice university there too ya know :-)
Besides which all the pollies and public servants fly to Sydney or Melborne on weekends.
> I guess I should see your Eels and raise the Chiefs =0).
Oh, you are a smartie :-) It is okay, you don't have to tell me that the Chiefs suck. More of a Waikato supporter myself (for the NPC - National Provincial Championships). Have you heard the Mooloo song???
I'm no huge sports fan either, just a supporter of underdogs and quiet achievers.
We have a saying here in NZ. We support two teams: NZ and whoever is playing Australia.
>But Sonny Bill Williams is ginormous here right now.
Who??
> Hope your weekend was great. Over here it was wet, wet and wet!Yeah, we are pretty sunny at the mo :-)
