Aussies demand Poms cough up first 'Australia' map

"Elgin Marbles of Australian history"

Except we didn't go along and nick it to show off in a museum. It was drawn up by a British person working for the Royal Navy while a prisoner. So it's not really the "Elgin Marbles of Australian history" at all, as strictly speaking they have no right to "Demand" a bit of paper with their countries name written on it.

If they were nice about it then sure, give it to them. But if they are going to be dicks then I demand we not give this property over to the convicts.

Thumb Up

Good price

I was looking at the sony PRS-505, but at £109 I'm defiantly getting a kindle now. Not something i thought I'd hear myself say, as the earlier ones were UUUGLY. I like this one though, its got a nice clean design. im really impressed.

Woman indeed. Nothing against them, lovely creatures that they are ;)

Bit of a pointless stunt to sell eyefones and get it in the news, but i guess it worked. Maybe having woman in the queue stops the herd of manic fanboi's getting too riotous?

@ Annwyn

Ladies only gyms dont offend me (not being a lady, im not allowed in, so a non issue for me) but woman only area's of gym's do. I used to go to a gym which had the whole upstairs of the building for "Woman only" but charged both men and woman the same price, despite men getting less use of the gym.

Out of protest i stopped going and started eating macdonalds and thanks to my miracle metabolism I'm still technically underweight. If i do ever get fat though, i am pointing my chubby big mac covered finger at woman only area's of gyms.
