Why do you think Paul Keating, and many others have said that Australia is stuck at the arse end of the world ?

Unfortunately for us it is, and you with this answer have just proven you are too dumb to realise that.

Thats nothing against Australia just it's location.

Good luck, and thanks for some sound advice at the sandown meet. Tara Tony and Claire

Got referred to a very reliable cardiologist, who happened to be a friend "we play golf together you know", only to be told, two trips and over three hundred quid later, that actually I'm extremely healthy, the noise that they thought was a hole in my heart, was just my heart pumping blood around strongly.... hope they enjoyed a decent 19th hole on me hey

l consider Europe the arse end of the world because thats where most of the worlds pollution is excreted, is'nt that the role of an arse.
