    @ Jim Moylan

    Don’t forget the poetry writing, that’s the really tricky bit. The minutes Gina must have slaved over a hot quill, oh the pain, oh the humility.

    [now you’ve gone and done it Frac!]

    errr.. No.
    Her poetry is really nice.
    And i do mean that sincerely (really Gina, truly and deeply sincerely n stuff)

    (and it wasn’t me who mentioned your name first)

    (in fact I love the Australian press and I am a great fan of nice poetry and especially really really nice humble billionaire poetry from really nice citizen billionaires who would never ever think of suing a poor contributor to an unworthy online rag)

    (Oh – and I luv John Howard.)

    PLONK: I’m delighted to see your high standards and don’t consider the Petaluma Vintage Croser to be doing it hard. Here’s looking at you, kid. 🙂 🙂
