1770 The date Australia lost it's independence

Attention to detail d-mac - cook first landed at botany bay, not at 1770. http://www.ryadia.com/PFF/June/cooks-landing.htm I imagine sailing down the east coast of Australia, he'd have to pass this spot on his way to Sydney. Yes? No? http://www.ryadia.com/PFF/June/cooks-landing.htm He went north, first landing at botany bay, then went up to where 1770 now is, and later spent a lot of time at endeavour river - near present day Cooktown (hence the name) - after being shipwrecked on the barrier reef. By the way - I very much did like the photo of the boat at 1770 that started this thread. I'm sure the critics could probably find something wrong with it, but I reckon it looks ok. :-) |

We waited until they sank 1/3 of our Pacific fleet, and now you're bitching about it. But when Bush attacks that murdering ******* before they have the chance to hurt us, then you bitch about that....Tell you what....Why don't you just sit down and try to write out just what you think we should do, and sign it and send it to me....I'll take real good care of it, and throw it back in your face when things don't turn out exactly the way you think they will the next time around......(God, I hate Monday morning quarterbacks....) |

"Joan" wrote in message ... It's amazing how the management of your country has deteriorated and the arrogance increased in 60 years. Yeah, I guess killing off some SOB who is responsible for the deaths of about two million people over a thirty year period is kinda arrogant, isn't it? Presidents who play footsie with White House pages are much less controversial..... |

Captain Cook wasn't a Queenslander. "New Holland" is a whitey term Yep - I was being ironic. Rather like the irony of the name of the state that the OP is posting from, given the subject of the thread. -- Eric Hocking "A closed mouth gathers no feet" "Ignorance is a renewable resource" P.J.O'Rourke Attempting spam blocking - remove upper case to reply. |

"discovered" - yeh, right!
250 years after the Portugese. 150 after Abel Janzoon Tasman. But that never worried the Brits - always 'economical' with the truth, as ever.

Can you only think of one item? How about Korea, Vietnam,
Afghanistan? The problem appears to be a lack of understanding of the people in those countries. The arrogance is a belief that they want democracy; that they want to live like you do in the U.S. -- Joan http://www.flickr.com/photos/joan-in-manly "William Graham" wrote in message . .. : : "Joan" wrote in message : ... : It's amazing how the management of your country has deteriorated and : the arrogance increased in 60 years. : : Yeah, I guess killing off some SOB who is responsible for the deaths of : about two million people over a thirty year period is kinda arrogant, isn't : it?

Did you miss the part of my post that said, "some other people had already populated New Holland way before us whiteys got there"? Well, if illiteracy is brought to mind, I get to bring the dreaded extra apostrophe, as in the Subject line. "It's" is a contraction for it is. Never a possessive. Both Doug and Annika misuse it. Before you chortle, though, there should be a comma after "are", and it should have been "we whiteys", not "us". Easy way to tell is drop out the other word and see how it sound. -- lsmft |
