Old Russell, couldn't lie straight in bed

Haha, thanks Neal. I like to think I held my own. Cheers Patrick

Thank you Patrick, they cut you off and talked over you, but you got the message across calmly and effectively

[@mineralswestcoast7581]

Thanks, was a good chance to discuss the issue and I think Jenny May did a pretty fair job as a referee. Cheers Patrick

There's so much I could say about the greens b s . But it would be a very long long reply . I can guarantee you the things they own , things they do like going places . He uses a bike every day made of wood , his clothes hemp , the food he eats , all grown in his backyard . How'd he get to that interview , oh that right , he rode his wooden bike there . Man I could go on . Green when they want to be .

It's convenient to hold certain views at other people's expense rather than your own. All we can do is put forward the best arguments and let people arrive at a point of view themselves once well informed. Cheers Patrick

Well said Patrick, we all like the nice things but the greens lie to the public Russell was not a good politician and now he thinks he above reproach Russell shut up and let him speak
