You've been good whilst I was away, soooooo

What do you mean the only flock in the wild? Are they mostly in captivity now?

In suburban areas, they gather in twos or maybe fours and fives...



In bush areas they form massive flocks of thousands.

I have to ask, can you tell us what the new avatar is about?

It's what we Brits call "taking the piss"...



I'm displaying the latest icon of idiocy by Australia's fascist left. They are the true fascists.

Are the ANTIFA vermin playing up in 'Stralia too?



The best option is contacting their parents, because a stern talking to and threats of cutting off their monthly allowance will make them behave themselves.

LOL SCOUSE!  You're probably right.

I don't know who you and Bricktop are talking about, but it sounds funny.

It's  true, they're all  middle class students who have no clue about the world outside of their college campus and mom and dad's leafy suburb detached house.

Actually there is very little that is "funny" about the whole issue.

Thank you for the link Renee..



I won't comment on it though because Bricktop gets upset if his threads get derailed.

Is there much poverty in Vanuatu?

[Bricktop]

It depends on what you call "poverty". There is little money and employment. Most NiVans live at a subsistence level in small huts, within villages scattered around the island. There is no bitumen outside the capital, Port Vila, and some villages have no power.



Yet to describe them as poor would be deceptive. They have far less than us, but are much happier, friendly and fun than we could ever be.



Material goods mean nothing to them. Family is everything. The only thing I ever heard them complain about was the price of LPG from Australia, and that is because the government taxes the crap out of it.



Its a tropical paradise that has a totally different perspective on life that the materialistic west.

was fishing for his family's evening meal in a lagoon. No fish, no food. Yet he smiled and waved as he rowed past.
