Badinfluence and Steve,
There's no way possible the government will stop importing cigarettes, that's my opinion. We've spoken about the tax revenue and future tax hikes. Sometimes I want to to be 60,it will mean that I'll have less time here, less time to to witness changes for the worse. I'm a 1985 model so I have a fair way to go yet.

Just leave we smokers alone, one doesn't hear about domestic violence from smoking as we do about those who have "one too many drinks" or those stupid enough to put a needle up their arm or smoke meth. If I hear about the judiciary being light on anyone else because he/ she was troubled with drugs I'll just about borrow army tank and drive it through the courtroom doors.

I thought too, that most on here are men posing as young women, having babies at 12 or whatever. They seem to be on here all day, how do they juggle that with being a mum?

I'm over the Australian men's cricket team to be honest. Some are not displaying sportsman-like behaviour. Michael Slater has a history of court appearances. About 2 years ago he was on a domestic violence charge and as earlier this year he was convicted of assaulting police. Then he was involved in a pub brawl. You may remember infamous underarm bowling of Trevor Chappell in 1981. It was not illegal but but sportsmanlike either. It was in 1981. I've heard a lot about it from my father and cricket commentators who still talk about it today. It's just not cricket (pardon
the pun.) Sportsman here get away with far too much. Time and again rugby league players walk from court on drugs charges without recording a conviction. However justice has been served in regard to the rugby league player, Jarryd Hayne matter over a rape charge. I think his sentencing is set down for the 25th of this month. I'm waiting for it in excited eagerness. He's just an animal, he bit the girl on the vagina and tore it. His nickname is jaws over here.

I have taken to watching the women's cricket, soccer and rugby league. You don't hear any controversy about them.

Enjoy your evening.

Danika
