Do you think Tone?

Had bullet proof jocks and vest on this morning when he was walking around Sydney Harbour with David Cameron?

He just looked very awkward or maybe he had an early morning ride on his bike and got a bit chafed.

hahahaha I would have said a "goose". If it walks like a duck and looks like a duck, then it's a goose.

British prime minister David Cameron has used a business breakfast in Sydney to promote investment in Britain.

Mr Cameron arrived in Australia this morning ahead of the G20 Leaders' Summit in Brisbane at the weekend.

He told the audience he felt it was a better re-election ploy for him to address a business function in Sydney than to don lycra and go on a bike ride with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

"I was going to start the day with a run with Tony Abbott but I thought he might go a bit fast," he said.

"Then he talked about a bicycle ride but I thought that that might involve wearing more lycra than is consistent with seeking re-election".

Oh I hope that is true for Australia also.

It's not my concern that he chooses to be a mamil. What I object to is a Prime Minister, in office, acting as the mobile billboard for large corporations.

Why not use a persons correct name and title? I am no fan of any party leaders but everyone deserves their name used correctly and with respect.

As for the way a persons looks stands or walks I suggest a good look I a mirror and have someone video you.....you maybe shocked

One thing I do have and that's a sense of hoomer which appears to be lacking with some people.

I have a friend who's name is Anthony and he gets called Tone all the time.
It's not like the deliberate misspelling of Julia, which wasn't a commonly used shortening of her name.

I show the abbott as much respect as he and his gang gave our previous PM and government, respect is earned and he squandered his.

To me, respect is a given, disrespect is earned.

What's wrong with Tone? Nothing derogatory about that for a person whose name is Tony.

As for using the title of Prime Minister everytime TA is referred to... Australian are to casual for that.

A headline this morning in the SMH - Abbott looks like a shag on a rock.

I didn't vote for his party, I don't like him, I don't respect him, I don't like what he is "trying" to do to Australia. I don't care what people call him .... I just want him GONE, the sooner the better

I have a good sense of humor.....this is not humor. This is disrespect. Seems to be lacking in many areas these days.
