Ok that's weird, I'm sure the time on your posts were 4 something! I got up at 5.30 because junior was getting picked up by hubbies mate to go work on the seating for the Grand Prix and I thought I should say hello! Ugh tooo early!

On a side note I can't believe how much she's getting paid to stick stickers on seats! Thank the lord for penalty rates!


So why are you up at 5!

I can think of situations where it could work, but they're limited and I want to see what David can come up with. :P

It's turned to Summer in Autumn with continuous 30 degree days.

We could do with some rain.
Average temperature has been warmer this month than it was in December, January and February.

I thought the racist scumbag Dr Mahatir took the cake with his views that

"....Jews, said the Malaysian prime minister, had "invented socialism, communism, human rights and democracy" to avoid persecution and gain control of the most powerful countries...."
