You won't find her. She rarely emerges from the gutter for long enough to write a biog. She is often to be found with her friend Henry.

Lovely! Can anyone refresh my memory of an old comic monologue about a drunk falling in the gutter with a sleeping pig, that ended something like this:

"You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses"
And with that the pig got up and slowly walked away!

I was going to copy and paste, but with three versions (only one of which I recognise) and other pieces besides, I thought you might prefer the whole page...

>prostitution is legal in Sydney if not throughout the rest of Australia<

according to the papers here, they had to ship prostitutes in from 'as far away as Perth' to satisfy Olympian demand.

BTW, those of us not Australian but paying Australian taxes to support Australian gold medals at $40m a pop are delighted that the (first batch of) Olympics are over and that 'News and Sport' is no longer tautologous....

(It's not that I hate the great God Sport, but I prefer a pantheon to monotheism...)

Thanks Bridget - what a treasure trove of porcine pleasures!
Which reminds me of a feeble attempt to eat in vegetarian mode only - tis always the smell of crisping bacon that undoes:

To err is human; to rasher, divine!

Which reminds me of, for some strange reason:
It wasn't the cough that carried him off
but the coffin they carried him off in

struth, stone the bloody crows, no self respecting ocker would ever throw a shrimp on the barbie. he might chuck a prawn on and down a few cold tinnies with his mates but calling prawns shrimp is like calling egg and bacon pie quiche, definetly not kosher over here.
