    I am concerned that this iceberg has potential to jump the queue, it’s clearly an illegal. If Mr Rabbott was in The Lodge he’d pick up the phone (oh so manfully) and order the RAN to turn the iceberg back. Job done, what a hero.

    Don’t worry about the tram, Firsty, any iceberg would be foolish to get on board without a Myki card.

    Couldn’t we put an outboard on it and park it outside Andrew B0lt’s house?

    So that’s why we got a ‘Vintage First Dog’ yesterday.
    As a Noosa-based type (warning: weather joke imminent) I have always
    supposed icebergs were hardly a rarity in Brunswick and surrounds, but it may have
    been attracted by that (presumably iceberg) lettuce.

    We just get iceberg deniers up here.

    Really FD! If *you* were worried about the iceberg….
    Just imagine how Clive Palmer’s feeling right now.
    I mean, he hasn’t even laid the keel of Titanic MkII, and the bloody iceberg’s poncing around on centre stage. (Talk about bad timing.)

    Bluddy gummint; cant do anything right. Crapping on about global warming and this happens. The golden prostate tells his audio incontinenti that, “it has nothing to do with global warming. This sort of thing happens all the time.”
    Well we hope the scotch & dry holds out because the ice has an obvious lefty socialist agenda & will probably vote green in the by-election this weekend.

    But, it would be fully sick as a snow-ski jet-ski hybrid triple Maxxtreme sports site. In Coburg.
