On the front page of the Australian, the other day, was an article on Steve Irwin shutting down Croc hunting in Australia. Flamboyant Steve, at his best, while wrestling crocs at his high profile theme park on the Sunshine Coast is also a strong animal rights advocate too. He allegedly wrote to the pollie in charge, asking that the proposed Croc Hunting Bill be thrown out. While Steve's heart is in the right place, there are others who feel he is not looking at the whole picture, and others downright critical of him. Those against have labelled him a "militant greenie." After speaking with residents in Northern Queensland, they confirmed to me there are nearly too many of the beasts, and even residing in storm water drains. They were still undecided however, about letting in big game hunters in the quest for more tourism dollars.... you can check for yourselves.. here...

"Nobody's poodle" Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf says he is.. yes, again, nobody's poodle. Well imagine that. As soon as you deny you are a poodle, what happens? You become the POODLE. So yes, when I refer to Pervez Musharaf again, it will be poodle, not president. No disrespect intended. He was reacting to reports that he was George Bush's poodle. He, according to his detractors, is waging the war on terrorism for his masters, George and Tony. (US and Britain) In his defence he claims that the fighting against militants on his afghan border "is in Pakistan's interest". However, as you and I all know, politics is a fickle game, when it comes to public relations, but is this criticism warranted? The US may be an ally, or maybe I should say a strategic ally. (I am sure there are some economic advantages to being a friend of the strongest economy in the world.) Gerhardt Schroeder, of Germany won his election because of his Anti American stance (last term, not when angela merkel came to the table though, this time...06 ) Will the Poodle be hampered in next years election because of his ties to Britain and the US? Maybe. Here is the dilemma. Poodle boy ( no disrespect again ) gained the control of the country via a military coup in 1999 and promises free and fair elections. Poodle boy (whoops sorry again- it slipped out) is a man talking about democracy, while dressed in a military uniform. You can get the story on BBC.
China & Afica. Watch this if you can remember to. China has a massive need for resources, and Africa, has massive resourses. Kenya has just signed a deal to provide oil. What is next? Let us watch. I hope to focus on the two in the coming weeks...
Finally.
Going back to the BBq shoppe in rush hour traffic was such a pain in the rear. Getting a speeding ticket by a cocky young policeman named Vance was another event that you wish could be forgotten. Arriving you notice closing time in 5 minutes. Proceeding towards the representitive you are filled with trepidation.
" Uh, excuse me?"
Agitated, "Yes."
" I just bought this cover for my BBq and, well here is the funny thing..."
"Look you may as well come tomorrow, I don't have time for this." He then smiles as though joking and pats you on the back with a smile " Its been a long day, I am just having a laugh." He then starts to escort you towards the door.
At this point do you....
a- freak out and demand your money back.
b- continue outside and meekly go home.
c- assalt the sales rep.
d- continue to state your case in calm measured tones.
e- ask to speak to the manager
f- start taking off your clothes
g- chain yourself to the nearest outdoor patio display
h- cry
i- laugh, then goto option c
j- all of the above, but with a smile.
Fenton investigated.
hope your weekend is a gooooooooooooooooood one!
chanks.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.....
Think about it. Steve Irwin LIKES snakes and crocs,,,,because it is good for his business.... SICK.
My view is:
Good croc = DEAD CROC
Bad crock = LIVE CROC
Good cop = Cop in a Donut Shop
Bad cop = Cop driving in traffic
Politicians = Bad
Anthems = Good
Love/Hate Tee Shirts = Good
Why does my coffee taste a little Off? Is it because:
1.It was packed in a suitcase full of dirty laundry.
2.The coffee grinder was also used to grind croc meat
3.It came from Pakistan and was mixed with spent nuculear waste
4.Taste buds are whacked
5.Brain is whacked from too much coffee

I like your choice of the name for that cop. Vance. For certain he was doing his job, keeping the streets safe and secure from maniac drivers. If, one had payed a little more attention to their day and the scheduling of it, they wouldn't have had to speed so wouldn't have got the ticket in the first place. But...being as it did happen and one is now ticked off one might as well ruin everyone elses day by making the store employees stay late. Yup, I would pick answer....... "J" but without the smile.

well of course d. is the right answer but I am sure I personally would add some h. in for good measuer!
tara is wondering who it is that she should be hitting here ;) and would like to explain that your brain can NEVER be wacked from too much coffee as that is in fact an oxymoron!
Interesting that you speak of crocs,cops,a 'poodle'and shifty sales people all in one topic. What do they all seem to have in common here? They all appear to be 'shadey' characters in this case!
Crocs, seals it's all the same. If something is out of balance there will be a correction. If left to nature it will be in the form of disease, that is once there isn't enough to feed and sustain the population. So why not control things alittle and make afew extra $'s. There goes mankind(is that a politically correct term?) again messing with nature. Psam is in my head, HELP!. As humans are constantly turning to nature for food they effect the balance so it is a constant struggle to maintain the balance. By the way the other day I was out hunting Grizzly bear when I came across a dead bald eagle. Anyone want to buy some eagle feathers? Chanklees your mistake with the salesman is allowing yourself to be ushered toward the door. Stand your ground and make him deal with the problem. What letter is that? D?
my opinion is I,
