    So like what I imagine John Howard’s view of a garden to be. I’ll bet he has specially made, self-adhesive crowns to put on his Elizabeths.
    He’s the sort of man who would wear shorts, socks and sandals. Shiver, shiver,yuk!

    :) :) :) Venise

    Magnificent FD!! :-) :-) :-)

    “We will decide what grows in this garden”
    Is the quite the best line since Janette told him to “eat your sticks and dirt”.

    No one cares what John H thinks any more. Not even us loonie right wingers. It’s sad.

    It’s not nearly as fun trying to hate Malcolm Turnbull. You may dislike Malcolm, and his policies, but Malcolm doesn’t have to work. He is obviously in it because he wants to help. Who would actually want to run the Liberabl party in the state that its in, against an opposition like the current Labor party? Hard to hate someone like that …

    … and he hankers like the Wicker Man for autumn when the fallow ground is raked up and all the dessicated husks are heaped in a pile burn and torched. Just like Iraq.

    “now too much praise can do as much damage as good” - i am sure john howard would agree, but FD this is bloody brilliant - prized marrow elizabeth indeed. how do you live with yourself? i could not stand to be that gifted and still live with mere mortals….keep up the good work!

    Love the transistor hanging off the fence! I hear sponsors chipped in for the spade, sheers and secateurs and cow pats come courtesy of George & Laura at the Prairie Chapel ranch in Crawford Texas.

    Venise - I made that one up. I figured if Howard had to learn to drive again after decades as a VIP passenger http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,,24753828-5013560,00.html
    he’d have been as irrelevant at gardening. Lets face it he wasn’t lawnmowing or weeding at The Lodge or Kirribilli.

    It’s a pity he didn’t have lessons about running the country before he got to lead us the trough of being the most loveless nation on earth. :) :)
