I dunno; I attribute much of the apparent significance of L'Affaire Iguana to the success of the tabloids in affixing a -gate to it.

Rob Oakeshott, if I recall, caused a stink in the NSW parliament when he complained about the price of a cheese platter. Course, nobody there had the nous, or the shameless publicity-whore instincts, to be photographed next to a RailCorp commuter saying "around here, we don't even HAVE cheese platters". A pity, in retrospect.

I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, but that pensioner lady would probably be a lot better off if she substituted the sausage for some veggies, or at least refrained from burning it to a crisp. And who the hell has salt on a sausage sandwich for Christ's sake? are you TRYING to induce a heart attack against all odds?

To John Murphy:

Beef with the Stroggy?
You married a hoggie.
Caterer to you:
"You married a shrew".

A Queensland Police Minister once stood at the parliamentary dining room door aghast at the menu with ‘marinated lamb shanks’ just one of four choices. “Lamb shanks! We give those to the dog!” Another MP was told by the parlliament to get a refund on her overly-priced toilet brush and settle for standard government issue. It’s hard to adequately promote the as- witless-as-John-Murphy MPs ..when the media is as challenged.

Agree Lucy. At least put some damn sauce on the sausage sandwich. And the old duck - who I suspect looks like Julie Bishop 25 years hence - has left the sucker in the pan just a bit too long.

Must be from the old Australian cooking school like me mum, who'd get up at the crack of dawn to start boiling the vegies we were going to have with the roast for lunch.
