Hmm, so it's not the immigration departments fault but a loophole.

Despite them being sisters by birth there is no legal reason for the sister to be allowed into Australia.

Not nice but if it were reversed then it would have far wider ramifications for people who were adopted.

Could they be taken back by their biological parents after the adoption? And if so up until what age?

Old FNQ joke. (Far North Queensland)

Uncle Joh Bjelke Petersen was so sick of the pooftahs and liberals and greenies and dagos coming to Queensland he decided to build a 20 foot wall around the whole state.

All the other States in Australia volunteered to help.

Love the red hair.

And as well I might as 70% of the worlds Reds are of Scottish extraction.

there is a street in London called Grape St,that used to, or so the story goes, be called Grope C*nt St.

probably apocryphal.

isn't the addition of Madagascan to Lemur a redundancy?

I think that Madagascar is the only place on earth that has Lemurs.

I may be wrong but I thought it was the case.

right so you have 43 preceding white male presidents.
42 preceding white male Protestant presidents(JFK was a Catholic).

Now have the biggest single deviation in president in your nations entire history and this merits barely concealed spite?

I think there is an important difference that is being over looked.

Disco on middle of the road radio bore little if any resemblance to the stuff actually played in discos at the time.

Most things when they are "the underground" or "alternative" are worlds apart from what makes it big in Casey Kasem's universe.

As Blondie was to punk/new wave, the Bee Gees were to Disco.

And yes R&R was a straight white male bastion.

No doubt ass deep in closeted souls desperate to do the bump, the slosh and the hustle.

Irvine Welsh author of Trainspotting once wrote a one sentense story.

Robert K. Laird a Sexual History.

"Rab's nivir hud a ride in ehs puff; perr wee c*nt,disnaae seem too bothered mind."

I can not control my inner pedant.

Land Of The Dead was an original film and not a remake.

re Mary the supermarket check out zombie.

I will have to go and watch it again, and you could be spot on about Landis, but in the UK there is a chain of mini markets called LONDIS.

it could be that it actually says that rather than Landis, or it could be them being SUPER clever.

I like that they had to get extensions to make the boys mullet.

Good to know that the Mullet is becoming that rare.

What a little bogan.

I remember many years back thwere was a pro skateboarder who had a boiler suit (iveralls in the US?)which hda had hundreds of soft toys sewn to it.

His head and hands just looiked like slightly odd soft toys on the soft toy Golem.

quite the sight to see when he was bowl riding on a skateboard.

his name eludes me.

Thrasher is a skateboard magazine not a rock band.

...why does he need a new one?

I thought it was the Stig for a moment.

British thing, as you were.
