Too little too late, but still satisfying. Murdering bastard. He is responsible as a member of the army for a lot more than 1,700 deaths from that time.

GIS probably just spits out a map of Aus anyhow.

Actually, I think I have one somewhere.

Believe me, I was the biggest spider coward ever back home!

Been here in Brissie 4.5 years now and not as bad as I used to be.

Think I've got so used to them here that I don't notice anymore. (until one wanders into the house that is
