Oh, I am so dissapointed!
For some reason I had made up my mind that I was definately going to the beach today, because it was definately going to be really hot and sunny.
But it's not Sad

what do you think about British troops scuttling out of Basra to leave the Aussies and the Yanks to fight al Qaida on their own?

None of our business what Britain does with their troops.

We'd be better off if the yanks left as well. Probably could achieve something then.

you mean just leaving 500 Aus troops?

I thought it was interesting that Bush and Howard put on great shows of friendship, Gordon Brown is getting the cold shoulder.

Hey I've been very very drunk in there too!

I almost threw up but managed to hold it together with deep breathing technique.
