I acccidently left my reading glasses in the Quantas Club back in Adelaide yesterday. I've worked all day without them in Canberra. My eyes ached, and I could no longer read words on the screen.
My eyes are still sore so a quick image:
Bill Leak
The references are to here Tis a humorous way of making a serious point about the power of the spooks under the proposed anti-terrroism laws.
The race/bookie reference is to the Melbourne Cup--the race that a nation stops to watcch.
on a personal note my heart is behind Makybe Diva --she is the people's horse. I hope the mare wins for a third time in a row. If she does she will be the first horse to win three Melbourne Cups. History is against her. In the 144-year history of Australia's oldest and richest sporting event, no horse has won the Cup three times.
Update
The Diva did it.! The hattrick. I watched the race. It was over so quick. One minute the Diva was on the rails way back in the field , the next minuite she hit the front with 300 minutes to go, and that was that. It was history being written on tv.
