The Romans named Scotland. because it was the land inhabited by the "Scotti's",

"Scotti's" of course was the Roman name for the Irish!!

Do you think it is possible that the Irish used to tell Roman jokes?

The most northerly part of the Scottish mainland is called "Southerland" It was probably named by a lost Roman

--An eventful day, all in all. The local market will probably follow New York's lead. For the day, that means up. For the year? We reckon stocks better enjoy the fresh air while they can. Inflation sucks out all the oxygen in a room like a greedy fire.

Inflation raises house prices, the loan outstanding does not rise, therefore, the bigger the inflation figure the richer house owners become.

P.M: they deserve a desalination plant in Adelaide.

Adviser: I agree, they deserve one in Adelaide, certainly, but it will cost $2.5 billion.

P.M: We can only afford $1 billion.

Adviser: It's only Adelaide and they don't understand things like us up in Canberra.

P.M: What do we do?

Adviser: We'll promise a $100 million mock-up and then not put anyone on the job of doing it.

P.M: I'm just thinking that's a good idea.

Adviser: Come to think of it, we could do it for about $30 million if it's only a cheap mock-up.

P.M: Then we could delay it, the rains will come and then we won't have to build one at all.

Adviser: Just a few million dollars on storm drains.

P.M. I agree, we'll budget just $5 million and run them round in circles. If anyone complains we'll blame it on John Howard, he did nothing during his long reign.

You look very worried and depressed! If you new what I know, you'd be very worried and depressed and I'd be very happy.

reminded of this one on ABC radio

"everything in moderation, especially moderation" Oscar Wilde

bit like that one Francis Quarles
"Be wisely worldly, but not worldly wise."
(I think he meant it in some religious context - think I could interpret that with a bit more freedom to kick up your heels )
