A trip to Oz.

Mrs FEEG and I have just returned from a wonderful trip to Singapore and Australia. We had a great time and travelled around quite a bit.

We were in Sydney while the state elections were on and Labor (the Aussies do most things right, but they cannot spell Labour) party, a totally corrupt, scandal ridden and incompetent government if ever there was one, got the kicking it deserved. Even AV did not save it from ignominy. A corrupt, incompetent Labour government, now where have I heard that before?

One thing that struck me while all of this was on was the prime minister, the appalling Julia Gillard (now beginning to be known as Juliar, another flashback), kept making “impromptu” TV appearances. She is really awful. She even makes Gordon Brown seem erudite and a loquacious orator. In order to hold the position she does, she must be even better at plotting and back-stabbing than our very own Gordon.

Maybe some of the Aussies on here might like to put me straight on this. Will have a few more things to say about our trip, but this is something that really struck me.

It appears that a customer at the checkout was charged too much because the checkout girl’s bazoomas were resting on the scales at the checkout station, because her chair was too low. Whoops.
