Apart from looking across the Tasman thinking how you poor buggers have to choose between Rudd and Abbott, then discover that 8% of NSW don't check a voting paper correctly and end up electing someone you did not intend to.

Have you ever seen a Polar Bear in the wild?

And.... pprune has crashed. Must be the stack of people posting "I told you so's..."

The food court at Concourse D is under construction, someone must have crossed some wires.

A bad curry?

I been on ships that took more than 30 days crossing the Pacific, then 24 hours for unloading and another 30 days plus back to Europe.

A decent cricket team? An Airforce?

On every engine I can think of, if the latches are not latched, the latches will not be flush.

Except these apparently

Diverted? Don't you guys carry cable ties and 100mph tape?
