So if your name is Smith and you pronounce it as Smith, and have done so for 50 years or more, you want the media and others to pronounce it as Smythe.  Got it.

But, that's what you're describing. Are you not in full focus?

No, I drive a Swift.

A newly purchased one, or one you have had for awhile?

Had it for a while, and want to do better.  It is useless at high speeds on highways.  Feels like a gust of wind will blow it away.  No stability.  OK for around town.  Thinking about a Corolla hatch.  Cars get uglier every year, and bigger.

I'm in awe! That is a perfect example of dissimulation!

What a good memory you have Elle 🙂

Remember Campbell Newman?

T ony Abbott has a new title and it sure ain't a knighthood. He is now the Liberal Party's wrecking ball, leaving a trail of destruction across the nation.

After helping to seal Denis Napthine's fate as the leader of Victoria's first one-term government in more than half a century, the Prime Minister has helped Campbell Newman make even more inglorious history.

Three years ago, Newman became the first person to become a premier without having spent a single day in the Parliament. Now he has lost his seat, and could be the first state or national leader to do so while his party retains power.

Or, even more damning, the party that won 75 to Labor's seven seats in 2012 is facing the prospect of defeat. For this, Newman must carry the overwhelming responsibility, but the Abbott factor cannot be denied.

Not memory, Poddy; it's called education. I caught it when I was quite young and apparently it's incurable.

gosh we had Joh Bjelke-Petersen for 20 harrowing corrupt filled years and I'm sure his surname was a head scratcher at first

[poddster]

You remember Joh, para?

I am sure you will remember paperchick too, for the same reasons even though the period will be much shorter 🙂

Well, as a Queensland resident, I hope the Labor party and it's leader, have listened to the Queensland people and work out a way to give us what we asked for.

I don't really care what people in other states think of the new Premier...... or her name.

What I do care about is that they do the job they were hired to do and do it properly.

[para-slights]

No wasn't born until the tail end of his demise, but you don't need to be born in an era to know about it, I always thought of Campbell Newman as Joh V.2 so that's how I will remember him lol

I wish you all the luck in the world Az. 🙂
