This thread seems to be much ado about nothing. I'm sure that once Mr Howard realises that he may have upset or offended NZ, he'll say sorry.

Gallipoli was, of course, a famous Aussie defeat. It seems that at least some Aussies have conceded defeat in another long-running war. The truth will out: http://maxqnzs.com/pav.jpg

Oh, come on, Maxie, not a chance. They don't give up that easily ...
Vernon, you're exactly right. Of course John Howard, that fair-minded and liberal individual, will say "Sorry!" once he realises that he may have, in the heat of some moment, somewhere, given some slight offence to his friends across the ditch. And it will be raining $1000 notes and pigs will fly. What a day it will be!

Would they be enough for me to buy the emoticons I ought to have used to clarify my post?

don't worry Vern, I recognised your tone :)
But a 'flying pigirony' emoticon would be handy, wouldn't it?!

Thank you. At times I almost get an eery feeling that you somehow know the real me, as it were.

So shall it be...
hey, speaking of pigs have you joined in our occasional games of Hogwash? ~ I bet you'd do twice as well as most of us :)

Very nice, Mav. Wish I had the kind of ability to make a pun like that.

I got an unasked-for apology for Howard's boorishness from an Australian colleague today. I was very appreciative!
