 GJ> Fortunately the Queen has just left Australia, flying British.

This morning's news is that the government, through Fairwork
Australia, has told the squabbling parties to get back to work, while
they have 21 days to come to an agreement, so Qantas planes are all
expected to start flying again in a few hours.  All this has done
nothing for the reputation of what used to be one of the world's most
reliable airlines.  You may be interested that in a TV interview,
defending his grounding decision, Joyce quoted your "favourite
airline", South-West, as the most profitable in USA.

Branson is amused.

  Warm the lard to melt it. Make a mound of the flour on your work

  palms, and shape them into figure 8s, sticks, or circles. Put them on
  a lightly greased, floured cookie sheet, and bake them until golden

It was on this date that the ancient Celts held a festival for the
spirits of the dead.  The Romans later adopted that custom.
