    Two pancake mix and one doz eggs pls. I’m in favour of the AFGC proposal, but only for people other than the manufacturer. Reserve a panel on the front of each product for bagging the opposition. It’s tres Australian and would greatly increase the entertainment value of shopping.

    Those Kindness Corn Chips don’t seem to be working on Mr Rabbott – quite the reverse. Stop the chips!

    Dear First Dog OntheMoon

    I got my socks wet visiting a neighbour in a pair of thongs because I left that footwear outside the door instead of just inside when I arrived there which says something about being and I am yours faithfully

    ps btw Dog every appearance is you have read recent mail between myself and an alleged local Council Health Inspector type chap over a supermarket product and made an excellent farce like a jolly good panto. So good the way you are always looking over our shoulders wherever we are. Dog Rulz.

    i heard that free range meant the chickens had at least one metre each to frolic and
    generally enjoy life in. but to be sure i would like some of these jolly nice metre maids
    to go along and check.

    btw dog, i heard Kevin Rudd’s cat was unwell – you of all animals must know the truth behind
    this bland statement

    Wikipedia says: “Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body.” Ergo most “food” eaten in this country isn’t (by definition) “food”…

    I’m sold on the pineapple juice bit.
    Anything that can make me look as vacantly blissful as that person in frame 1 is all right by me!
    I’ve also heard that it makes certain bodily (shall we say) emissions more (shall we say) palatable. But I shouldn’t imagine they’re allowed to put that on the label.
