“The single big idea to come from the gathering is the fact that it was held at all.”

Really? I thought the single big idea was the idea you could have such an idea.

But not quite as a big idea as the idea that having such a big idea was big enough to have in the first place.

Personally, I thought 'Australia Talks' tonight summed up the 2020 Summit thingie rather well. The single big idea to come from the gathering is the fact that it was held at all. Would John Howard have contemplated such an event, let alone the openness with which it was held? I think not.

LE and I are taking a break at the moment, fairlane. We’ll no doubt be missing linking in the future, tho… the team members rotate as and when we have spare time.

Thanks for the link. You are too kind.

Is LE involved in this?

By the way, could one of you women pick up some beer on the way over? I’m a tad thir-sty.

I just made the mistake of looking at the Pig and now I have to go and have another shower.

fair point - and I guess the French excuse is that they do it in French!

The real question is why we inevitably follow them!! I spend my life resisting stupid usage of language such as ‘circle back’, ‘get down out of the helicopter’, and God knows how many others.

No, the Poms at least pompously mangle the language with a bit of style and humour.

7. KP: Why are Americans so much better than everyone else at mental masturbation?

Er, because you’ve already forgotten yes minister? Or maybe because you can only read English?
