Good morning Paul,

Anyway it's morning here now.

PQ>Unfortunately the current day celebrates the English invasion.  A
PQ>lot of people want to have it changed to some other date but so far
PQ>there has not been an urgent 'push' for a change.  Once we evolve to
PQ>the republic that a great majority of Aussies want, then the choice
PQ>is simple: the Queen's birthday that we currently also celebrate
PQ>(not really; it's just a holiday).

I thought that OZ already was independent. Probably then NZ is also
still in the Great Britain tie.

PQ>Thank you.  It's drying out here, although the eastern bank of our
PQ>river is just 100 metres away, slowly creeping up the street.  I may
PQ>have to move my Fido PC upstairs, soon.

Yes we get the news on TV. I saw this morning a map showing the drenched
areas was quite close to your home.

CU Again,

Holger
