Welcome back Pebbles

Well the main thing was you had a Nice time.

RE: A Political Question

But my dear little pumpernickel We the public would not want to vote on someone who is just a figurehead in fact why even vote in the first place waste of money.

May as well make a plaster bust of someone ....like an idol might even get a few worshippers.

RE: Happy Birthday Merriweather!!

To a beautiful Lady both inside and out.

Welcome back Pebbles

Oh my dear I am sure you could make this one exception and come down just that little bit........

Seriously Pebs never think like that!Dont put yourself down.... its more to do with personalities OK.....

RE: Single

If you do let me know please.

RE: summers come early

Its funny that' as a lot of our native tree's are eucalyptus... nice and oily, nature has stuffed up somehow as you would think that they would be safer in a cooler climate

But then there has to be a reason wish I knew what it was.

I am looking for some natives that will grow really fast and drought resistant I think wattle will be the best' just gotta find out which ones will suit this area.

The trouble is though we don't have a Native Forestry nursery in this area so the prices are pretty steep.

RE: Single

Maybe fate is trying to give you a push my dear looking.

RE: A Political Question

Wouldn't a President be the same..... just a different title
Or! if given some powers ( the voting public would expect that)wouldent it be stepping into shark infested waters again surely.

Cant see the ruling party at that time and thier Prime Minister agreeing to it either HmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmDODGY

RE: summers come early

That is exactly what I want! but cant stand too much humidity there is something so speciel being near the water,it sounds wonderful on that farm in Kiama.

Welcome back Pebbles

Well you are back' and you never know one day the lady of your dreams could be right under your nose so it doesn't hurt to keep in touch.

If it was right it would have already happened! the best is yet to come.
That is what I believed and thank goodness it came to be.

We must have Faith in ourselves if we don't we may as well give up now.

Welcome back Pebbles

Hope everything is ok with you as you can see one of our members was a bit concerned that after the Melbourne meet both yourself and Looking left CS.... Looking is back
And now its good to see you have popped back on.

You have been missed my friend.



Dont be a stranger.

RE: Single

As I remember there was a certain really sweet Canadian guy who used to pop on this forum from time to time that you got on rather well with Serene' I always thought another time another place
it would have been magical for both of you I believe

RE: A Political Question

B) It will take a lot more than that.....

C)I think there would be a few more Countries overtake that score by a long way this century.Except the french mind of course .

RE: Where do you think you'll be in a year from now?

I will never get married again once was enough...at my age like my surname better anyway.

In 12 months time hope to be within walking distance to the coast.

RE: A Political Question

Not just asking you AA just need a straight answer.

RE: A Political Question

YES I KNOW THAT...... but who has a Prime minister and a President

Thats what I am getting at and who does what.???????

Also who lives where.

RE: A Political Question

Well at least the world knows they are around and the USA seems to like and respect them! they also love the Monarchy.

Australia is very small worldwide in the scheme of things as you would know.Which in someways is a good thing I believe.

RE: A Political Question

You still haven't answered my Question sweetheart.....what comes first Prime Minister Or President.

England has the Prime Minister as we do and the USA has the President.

SO fast forward......here we are now a Republic all you republicans have got your way and ??????????????????????????????????????????????????

RE: A Political Question

Whats wrong with a figurehead???? better the Queen than a President surely.

We have to vote in a President OK and is it compulsory..... how and when do we do that???

After that what does he or she do??? and where does this leave the Prime Minister.

Sorry to seem so dumb but none of my questions have been answered....this is the third time I have posted about this.

Am I being naive is it too silly to reply to or what.

Someone tell me how it will work please.

RE: A Political Question

Thankyou for replying Rob it will be interesting to see all these Republicans come up with an answer.

I am so glad we went into this as I was not worried one way or another but really thinking about it....I will repeat IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT.

RE: A Political Question

All this posturing back and forth about a republic will somebody tell me this... we have a President what happens to the Prime Minister who happens to be in power at that time does he just change his Title errrrr no.... um......so where do we put the new President do we build him or her a new White House or kick the Prime Minister out or vice versa' if not where does he or she go

Also who is in charge ?????? we the people vote in the new President The members of Parliament vote in the Prime Minister

Yeah...... wont cost us anymore what a joke.

I want to know how this will work.

RE: A Political Question

You cannot be serious you pay for street cleaners you will get street cleaners,with all respect I have heard some outrages opinions in the past but I think this one takes the cake.

RE: A Political Question

Wash you are obviously a wonderful father but please my dear you cannot judge others as you judge yourself .

The young man we are talking about has big problems mentally since he was a child... that is why he is in care at the moment and should not be left alone at any time lets just hope its not too late for him,whatever happens I would think he will have to be on medication for the rest of his life.

You as a good parent would have noticed the signs from an early age.
Would you have ignored it ? swept it under the carpet because it might affect your career...no of course not.

Tis just lucky that those those girls escaped with little damage and were able to get on with their lives ...it could have been so much worse.

It made me feel sick when the parents appeared on National Television for gods sake! blaming everything on their own child, all those years ignoring the signs.... unwilling to get help for him and then denying the problem ever existed in the first place.

If you are unlucky enough to have a child born with a mental illness the normal loving parents will do anything in their power to help them.
The signs usually appear early and if acted upon then the chances are a lot better that person will live a long productive life.

The years of sweeping it under the carpet pretending it does not exist ignoring the cries for help,using your influence to cover it up one way or another what type of parent does that.....well one with Narcissistic tendencies for a start.

I have said enough.

THE MENS SHED ....no female stickybeaks.........OK NOW.

Guys Guys' what a boring old lot you are without the female of the species' you could at least got up to some sort of mischief.

RE: A Political Question

I think if William leapfrogged over Charles a referendum would certainly vote the King in... no contest! also the media would love it and the herd.... oop's Public always do as the media says anyway.

RE: A Political Question

Nah cause you wouldent WHY THE BLOODY HELL NOT....the perfect solution

RE: A Political Question

As I said earlier they shoot Presidents but not the Royal family
Often wondered about that too the word Heresy comes to mind
the darkest of all deeds even in the mind of an Assassin

in about 20yrs we could grab one of Princess Mary's children and make them the head of state....problem solved.
Our own Royal Australian.

RE: A Political Question

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO don't bring philosophy up again,its like running around in a big rubber ball and making the same amount of difference.

RE: A Political Question

There you go we have the Queen already.For some silly reason I always think of Round heads when I think Republican... rather stiff correct and no sense of humour.

RE: A Political Question

Oh yes Rob I completely agree
