Tourist

What is the difference between a Tourist and a Terrorist??

You can negotiate with a Terrorist.LOL

Cheers Steve.

not the terrorists onthe south coast!! they will not budge!

obee, "those blokes," as you call them, in ww1, were certainly not overpaid, and were certainly overworked.
Justify the rest of your statement mate...?????

Hey Obee.

Look at it like this, next time you go to a van park in peak season, as I explained to my old man at Xmas.

He is a self-funded retiree he and mum worked in the public service all their lives, so didn't understand the private sector.

We stayed at a van park in Cairns, mum and dad in a their van, Philip and I in our camper, and my sister and her 2 girls in the motel room.

Dad was saying how expensive it was because it was Xmas time and the van park charged top dollar, so I asked the owner if he had hired more staff over the Xmas period he said he had hired 4 more staff because they were busy, so I told dad this, then I told dad that the lawns were trimmed, the pool was cleaned every day, the toilet block was one of the cleanest I have seen, then I told him it more than likely cost the owner 15 to 20 thousand $$ extra in wages just for 6 weeks they were busy.

Dad's outlook on this changed when I pointed this out.

Cheers Steve.

Fred/Kim,

Suggest you read obee's post again.

I will have push my tounge a bit harder into my cheek. I thought it was obvious but there you go. It's just ironic.

I was point out that WW2 blokes only got five bob. I think the ww1 blokes got the same. I do study history. We should be having a sorry day for what they were put through and less of the myth of the bronzed hero. I didnt mind being called baby killer because I understand how people get carried away by the moment.

There are plenty of parks that struggle I know. They got big overheads and running costs and they are cheap. Airconditioners have pushed the prices up a bit so if you dont have one then you are helping to pay for them anyway. That was from a park operator.

I did enjoy having a dig at the fellow travellers though. It's a disappointment to at last make it out into the great unknown and find out several hundred thousand people got there first. And good luck to them too.

owen

a bloody cushy one at that!! LOL

1000km ? Then they've hardly left home :)

let's hear it for the urban tourists. They cannot all be going somewhere important. Like Saigon where they "go round" just for kicks.
