    Good grief!! A whole week of shantung lamb and Jasper vomiting passiona.
    So much excitement and you saw Annabel…..Twice!!!

    It’s *almost* enough to make a person feel jealous………Almost. :-) :-)

    your beazley is just brilliant and i have never got as far in the great off-white rectangle to taste the passiona fountain…the one immediately to the left of old parliament house as you head towards the canberra hyatt, however, features lemonade, which always is nice to sip, but only in summer as for the rest of the time it is frozen solid or full of pigeon shit
    i look forward to more characters tomorrow

    I think Bernard has his webcam on.
    I’m puzzled that you say you saw Wilson Tuckey and then in the very next sentence say everyone seems nice.
    I don’t think it’s badly put together, but its lateness is not for me to judge.

    Finally, an incisive viewpoint on what really goes on in that place!

    ‘Everyone seems very nice’. Pah! ‘They’ have got to you already, Stepford First Dog.

    Didn’t any politicians at least demand you watch the movie ‘Unfaithful’?

    Mr Dog, I love your work. This is beautiful. Tell us, have you been invited to take tea and bikkies with Jasper and the PM’s dog? THAT, I’m looking forward to seeing.

    I knew it. Already I detect a certain small-town atmosphere pervading your prose. Not good enough. Everyone is very neeeece. Yuk. The person using the big camera, centre screen shot one. Looks very like the one whose photo in a DJ you used to put your aristocratic head on top of, First Dog-admittedly I can only see one arm, but the height and weight suggests it’s the same hombre. Only thing is, whoever it is, seems to be wearing a suit. Which doesn’t sound very Crikey. Nor does a DJ, do I detect a public school background here?

    Just observations and guesses. Nothing personal! I’ve heard that Pollies always want their cartoons. Charge them triple!
