He never said anything about them wearing fairy headlamps, but I'm certainly not surprised about their nefarious intentions towards Mountain Man Tim- one of them bit me when I was 12. I didn't mind though- he got to go on Shirl's Neighbourhood showing one off, which gave me massive cred at school.

"Gay" as synonymous for ineffectual. That's just so hetero. And discriminatory. Tsk tsk tsk. “Gay” as synonymous for ineffectual. That’s just so hetero. And discriminatory.

Great cartoon. Lurve the headlamp lit Tim Holding. Much nicer than the grim reality of the actual ambitious twit. Why do all the Labor people-the people I voted for-turn out to be so awful? 'Bye' :) :) :) Sorry FD, I got off the topic there. Great cartoon. Lurve the headlamp lit Tim Holding. Much nicer than the grim reality of the actual ambitious twit.

Were you born there? If so you are forgiven. Paddy: WTF's the matter with you? If FD had said female babies no one would have said a thing. It's unusual for FD to indulge in this sort of 'ism', but I thought with comedy/cartoons/etc everyone was fair game. Don't you think his Chrissy Pyne cartoons are fantastic? They are no respecter of sexual gender. Lighten up for Christ's sake. Personally, I wish Tim Holding had gone through a hell of a lot worse than he did. Because, and if I'm not mistaken, he is also the Minister for the Environment. It wouldn't have hurt him one bit to get closer to the creatures whose title he ostensibly works under.

ROTFLMAO. That's *almost* as funny as the cartoon eyebowman......Almost. However, it was those bloody potoroos wearing fairylamps on their heads that made my day. :-) “Then you ruined it by using “gay” as some kind of insult.”
