    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

A quick drive down Queen Street should get some of the over politically corrected tongues wagging.

    As to the bunny huggers complaining that such an activity does not teach children to respect animals, that is a matter of perspective and a crock of crap in my opinion. Does that view then imply that a hunter that has a trophy mounted for display has no respect for the animal he took? I think not!

    Yeah, sadly I think these people have got the wrong idea. It's all in a bit of fun and good job to the school of only 14 kids, raising eight grand!

    I dream of raising my kids in a rural place where I can teach them about respecting animals (and plants). Possums are a pest is this was not intended to be in bad taste. If someone tortured or mutilated them I think it might be a bit different but come on? Good on those kids and families, it looks like they had a blast.

    Jeez Dougie give me a break. What between the wife, the mistress and servicing my mate's hareem while he has been overseas, a man has been to knackered to be on the interweb thingy. Or if you want the truth then I was in the bush Friday to Sunday and nursing aching limbs Monday and Tuesday.

    Oh FFS alright Dundee. You know I am becoming a far less tolerent old bugger the more that time goes by and the more that I hear about the bunny loving, tree hugging trendy lefty brigade losing their grip on reality. "Leave the possums alone they are beautiful so what if they are pests they do not deserve to die" What bloody planet did that one come from?
