you dont know about the sandpebbles or amethyst incidents then. so much

for your knowledge of modern asian history.



 RS> I can bare my arse at you with impunity cant I Keef ?



most flashers bare their dicks, but i dont suppose that you would like

being laughed at that much. do you wear you raincoat back to front.



 RS> And the silly old poms are so fucking moth eaten now that they

 RS> cant even do a Falklands style operation to here either. So we

 RS> can bare our arses at the poms any time we feel like it.



the poms are fucked as a world power, but they still have forces that

the australian defence planners only dream of, and they do useful jobs

like acting as targets for yanks too stupid to find actual enemy to

shoot at. the australian forces would find it difficult to do a

fauklands type operation to south stradbroke island, unless the

cleveland fishing club helped out with transport, if you think that our

forces are more than a joke, you are even more stupid than i gave you

credit for. 



actually now that i think of it i may even have seen you once, while

dropping someone off at the pioneer bus depot, i saw a character in

leather trousers with no arse in them walking up oxford street - must

have be you, or one of your mates.
