It’s a funny place Canberra. One day, as I was cycling from my home in O’Connor (which was either Manning Clark’s house or maybe the house next door) I saw a Kangaroo T-bone a car waiting at the lights on Barry Drive and thought “I wonder if that would happen in any other national capital?”

me thinks – from memory – that Barry parade is so wide and over planned – that even a tank battalion couldn’t been seen – as for the gillies dyed red hair, well that’s a whole different story

Ha, I’m loving that sign in the public gallery ie: ‘Please STFU’.
In the gallery there are always jerks talking – not quite loud enough for the the ushers to tick them off but sufficiently audible to be a bloody nuisance to others in the gallery. I spend a good part of Question Time zapping Julie Bishop Death Stares at such pests.
Next time, courtesy of Mr Onthemoon, I’ll take a small sign and brandish “Please STFU’ at them instead.

So they have a large house, Mercedes, and a swimming pool … but do they have room for a pony?
