I have learned that sometimes, even when you think you're not doing something, you are doing it.

...that even though clients *say* they have great credit history, this is not always true and you may spend 4 days trying to get them approved on finance, because they have a gazillion defaults.

[vent over!!]

....so that means that you have learnt that you live in a sick society , based on humble people being pushed and suckered through the credit machine .

Who has a gazillion defaults ?

Have you also learnt that the humilating credit check-ups , and then the relief ( great we can take home that fucking obscene green nylon sofa and be really thankful to be able to pay for it over the next twenty years ) are behind your salary . A crap salary no doubt , but you have been mindwashed into thinking you are a 'manager' by the powers -that-be .

The greatest laugh of all is that you THINK YOU LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY .

You have all learnt the greatest lesson of

all . There is no poetry , only when you are going to dig the swimming pool to be like the neighbours .

The wife you wished you had never married and who looks like an orange twig will open the booze .

Booze for everyone . Not to much to be rude , just enough to think it is interesting to stick a few crap sausages on the end of a stick .

The orange twig will have downed about a bottle of gin by now , but everyone is going to pretend it is the first drink of the day .

Fun drinks , fun barbecue , really fun to be in Australia .

...I have learned that no one likes buddug for a very good reason :)

When will you proles finally be able to liberate yourselves from the concept of 'like' or 'dislike' ?

When will 'short' be 'tall' ? When will 'up' be 'down' ?

When will you people LEARN?!

...that even if you decide not to decide you still have made a choice.

that prime numbers are awesome!

I really don't like Halloween. It's such a weird custom that has gone way beyond what is originally meant. Now it's just as commercial as everything else.
