Yeah well - I think we've previously established it's pretty much the global
respository for all things nasty, ugly and venomous.
Which reminds me - the Austalian population is the fatest growing in the
west at the moment.

This new hideout of mine in the desert seems to have a lot less snakes than
the last one in the jungle however.
Either that or they have much better camouflage.

Desert snakes have better camo. They get it cut rate from returning Iraq

That's right. I think one is supposed to put 'the west' in inverted commas
though.
Then it's taken to mean 'white people with money'.

Yep - we are waddling neck and neck with the Samoans and the US for 'the

Yes - believe it not it's true - on the south island of NZ in 2006 broadband
was *still* not available.
Time to go.

Around here, you gotta give two short rings and a long, and ask Edna to
patch you through to those internet tubes.

Works good enough for Usenet, which is about the same era technology.

If they're clean, reasonably fit, and pay in advance, yes.

On our system, one long ring gets the operator.
Other combinations are for specific individuals plus everyone else on the
line................

Where I worked, one long was the fire brigade, one short was the control
tower and three short was the equipment room.

We had party lines with as high as 25 homes on each circuit, more if the
people would stand still for it.
By counting the number of rings, everyone on the line knew who was being
called.
No one thought anything of eavesdropping.
What a way to spread gossip!!

Couldn't expect the operator to run the internets and listen in on all
the town gossip at once, so Edna is the "Toob Lady". She gets to watch
for kids downloading porn and intercept them and take them home to her
husband.
