All the others are looking very puzzled and when they arrive at the big hotel, they quiz him. He points to the other cars and they are covered with splattered bugs, then points to his, which is unblemished, and just smiles.

All of this is done, from memory, without a word being spoken.

The Dali Lama believes in hurting no living things.

A very, very clever ad.

A great ad but had to be pulled because it showed someone driving in a manner unlikely to kill anything.

The Pirates might want to get some new outfits while they're at Byron - check out Wicked Weasel - you won't be sorry (do a Google and you'll see what I mean)

Yah picky picky picky - if they're good enough for the Governors daughter they're good enough for the likes of you scurvy swabs

No really - they are a Byron Bay Company and I'm sure they'd consider a new fabric line so why don't you pop along to the shop. I'm sure you won't be the first to raise a jolly roger there

Out of 28 Queenslander's. There would be probably 8-9 with partners. Of those, a couple with little bubs, and a couple with teenagers, I think.

Of the 10 form NSW, there are 6 MINIs. That should give you an idea of partner numbers, but I am not sure about children.

Ken.
