    i once went to a party where they tried to serve tabbouli as finger food.

    i asked the kitchen for a spoon and they went bananas.

    serves me right for trying to eat like a lady.

    On a serious – ish note, I have always wondered why the paradigm for refugee “care” had to be incarceration rather than hospitality. No need to answer the question though

    It’s not true is it : “Morrison was cloned from the untouched half of Peter Reith’s conscience!”?

    And what happens to “profits” when they go on hunger strikes – “party funds”?

    Klewso – can a conscience have both sides on the right?

    The question I ask myself is: which is worse – running a “refugee processing facility”** based on a quotation from a catering company, or getting the catering done by Scott Morrisperson and his band of “adviserpersons”?

    And had Mr K Ruddscat been successful, would it have led to franchise Arsehat Catering outlets in say, Christmas Island, perhaps even Malaysia?

    ** (we used to call them abbatoirs, perhaps these could be called Abbottoirs)

    DF: Very clever, if I may say so.

    FRACTIOUS: Yours ain’t bad either.

    So Tonys Tacos and Misery Bar is open for Business. I hear they don’t do Take Aways, but they specialise in Stay Aways. Drowning your sorrows at TT&MB takes on a whole new maning
