Paul Keating used to be the treasurer and then prime minister of Australia. . . He. . .puts on glasses, - - Oh bugger, Kipling, sorry wrong thread again.

[safewalrus]

Same fellah, wrote some good stuff (spade or shovel work), interspaced it with ****! Just in Kipling's case it was more shovel than ****! and in Keatings case it was more.........

Yes the master of ... had a pig farm, liquid & more of it, not the same as ******** but nevertheless......

Aromatic kinda place? ideal breeding ground for a politician!

[masalai]

Somehow I don't think current PM can be identified as such. . . The ex-pig-farmer, ex-PM (business sold & erection lost) denies the new boy is a true "Labour Man".

I have to defend him as he is a local boy from the Sunshine Coast, as is the Treasurer!

A lobster-mans' clothes, I think, never ever cease to stink. There's bad things in lobster bait: fish guts, pogies and very dead skate. You can try as hard as you will, but there's no escaping the swill. Doesn't matter if you're careful or hurry, you still get covered in gurry. When they come home for a while; at the back door, clothes in a pile. Nothing will touch the terrible stink: not sunshine or bleach in the sink.Even when they're clean, you can tell it's a lobster-man by the smell. They go out and fish in cold and heat so you can have your gourmet treat. Sea-side diners laugh and say "there one goes". He's looked upon with up-turned nose. The diner goes to work as a hired man. The Lobster-man sails under his own command. My nephew worked as a mate on a lobster boat, this is first hand knowledge on my part.

Yep! Both sides of the 'pond' too
