Australian schools are clearly more tolerant than those in the U. S. Nowadays, having a pocket knife at a school function here will get you tossed out of school, if not into the slammer. It’s called “zero tolerance” but it means zero tolerance for risk coupled with even less common sense.
G’day Jason, DryCula, JFristein, Ottod, Meggsiefan, Frank and all Meggsie’s mates.
Ottod: Getting that way in Oz too. I lived through being exposed to many of the things that are banned today. Perhaps, just perhaps, banning these things and making absurd rules because people now will not take responsibility for their own stupidity is only treating a symptom of the real problem.
(Also stepping down off the soapbox).
Those silkworms were just as unfortunate as the two strawberries who shared a bed and finished up in a jam.
For those affecionados of asian restaurants: the Beau Thai Restaurant (yes, it really existed here in a Melbourne suburb) has closed its doors for the last time. Just thought you would like to know.
Bennie: Gee mate, put that hat back on will ya. No wonder it’s a big floppy looking thing, has to hide 90 years of hair that hasn’t been trimmed.
