Achievements they ridiculed at the time. Like typical politicians they are too mean-spirited to give credit, where credit is due. <br /><br />At least the ukulele festival that King denigrated so much is a lot more meaningful and successful than his stupid publicity stunt to get Bolt up here.<br /><br />I suppose he hasn't got much time left for anything else. he's obviously too busy following the instructions from Brisbane, read his prepared script and shut up about anything that might cost money or upset Can-Do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-55581451816453392192012-08-19T17:43:12.698+10:002012-08-19T17:43:12.698+10:00I don't know what you're talking about ano...I don't know what you're talking about anonymous 18.8.12 18:11 He's doing a great job out front, as Mark Latham would say, of the conga line of suckholes to get someone called Bolt to come here.

We have meandered off the topic of the thread again, however I am also old enough to recall some of what the authorities did to control the disease. We were a very different community in the 1950s and 1960s; we did not gravitate in large numbers in air-conditoned shopping centres; we did not have the international air travel we have today, for example.<br />I believe if the disease gets out in the community today, it will be a lot harder, and much more costly to bring under control.
