        We are about same vintage and I totally agree! We start trawling the gutter as soon as Murdoch appointed Howard as pm? Along with Australia’s laziest treasure Costello who transformed many once decent Australian into greed is good’ pigs!

        Should you be using the term "mobbed" when talking about Matthew Guy? Also no one tell the Australian about the last bloke John Howard helped, Dave "not the member for Wentworth" Sharma. #LobsterWithAMobster
