Oaths or responsibility. Mmmm. I wondered about that Keynes quote in your sig. I assumed you stumbled across it on a desk calendar. One of my neighbours is a PhD in Economics. Seems I'm now surrounded by the bastards.

Oi!

Anyway if you were truly erudite my using Ricardo as an avatar would have given it away.

War4ever · January 18, 2003, 18:51

nice sig...... needless to say you can balance a checkbook i take it

deity · January 18, 2003, 18:56

Horse, please post, if you can, to let us know that you, your family and house are OK in the wake of that unbelievable Canberra fire.

I've selected the option not to see people's avatars. Self-indulgence has never appealed to me.

War4ever · January 18, 2003, 20:40

yes, where is the update on the fires, or did AH drop a match on his personal stash of hippie lettuce?

South East Australia is pretty much on fire. Over 300 homes were destroyed in the Canberra area yesterday, 2 people dead. Even the Victorian alpine region - Mount Hotham, where Makeo skis and works in winter - has been burnt out. It was this massive fire that moved north and is doing the damage in the Canberra area. Yesterday's weather was brutal - over 100 F and 40 mph wind - which, added to the drought, meaning everything is bone dry, is a recipe for disaster.

Ah, but rather than refrain you should seek to undermine self-indulgence from within by having the best avatar.

Yes, Horse, please do.

I've got his address somewhere here. I'm trying to find it to see where he is relative to the terrible goings on.

Neither am I into d*ck-length competitions. I've humiliated too many in my time.

It's equivalent - in size - to what happened in the N.W. of the States last summer.

War4ever · January 18, 2003, 20:51

Not what many of your PhD Economist colleagues say, I gather.

Today is a bit cooler in Ozland but the tragedy in Canberra is incredible. Entire suburbs wiped out.
Wish Horsie would post

It's SW Canberra I think. finbar, Horse moved to the outer suburbs of Canbera, I think, but was it SW?

deity · January 18, 2003, 21:06

Thank God finbar got the save file....

War4ever · January 18, 2003, 21:28

DrSpike · January 18, 2003, 21:50
