suicide

from a certain point of view, going down with the ship looks like suicide.

of the french (again)

People keep on telling me that to like the french is to want to have an affair. They also say that to be Greek is to be gay. I do not think like this, but assuming that we take this to be true then the following must also be true:

1. To like the British is to want to live in a sexless puritanical Victorian relationship with a person of the opposite sex.
2. To like the Americans is to be a red neck, puritan in public who goes around with gay prostitutes when no one is looking.

Sounds only fair really.

Boeing Factory - Melbourne

When in Melbourne recently I spoke to several people about the boeing strike. Actually they spoke to me as I was unaware that there was a 3 week long strike. They siad that the reason for the strike was that Boeing had delayed the 777 development. This meant that they had too many staff. So what Boeing's management was doing was surrupticousy going around finding people that they could sack to save money on redundancies. But they were not following the proper process. People were being sacked for doing things like getting someone else to sign in for them in the morning. They were being put on suspension for a week and then sacked. Aparently this is not the correct process.

mexicans and other types of north americans...

If you are a mexican because you like to be on the bottom, does that mean that being an American means you like to be in the middle and being a Canadian mean that you like being on top? Kind of a north american sandwich.

disrespect

this is an example of badly behaved australian's treating people who are trying to do the right thing with disrespect.

Skin implants

Wow, glow in the dark skin implants that react to various genes. You could have each knuckle on each finger done. The one described is for the brain’s circadian clock, but I'm sure you can think of other ones that would be cool to have triggered. Or perhaps a little dot in the middle of the forehead.

Telstra can fire sex romp girl

It was with dismay that I read that Telstra could sack someone for some activity they undertook outside work hours. Is this a fair and reasonable punishment? Would they sack someone from being a scientologist or a jew? I know many people when I worked there who attended lunch time bible meetings. But a more interesting and perhaps sexist observation can be made. Why would they sack the woman, and not the two men? I mean it says: She was accused of sexually harassing another female employee by being naked in the hotel bath with two Telstra male workers. Telstra also claimed she dishonestly answered questions during a subsequent company investigation into the incident. Unfortunately the article makes no mention of the fate of the male employees. I would take a less dim view if the men were also sacked.
