ANother gem from the Hymn Singing session was a comment that might interest OzCatters but completely mystify nonAussies.

The context: Tony Abbott, now leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition and much given to wearing "budgie smugglers" (a very brief pair of swimming trunks) in public, recently was challenged to give the Opposition's policy on health care. His statement was extensive but contained no discernable policy.

The comment: "Tony Abbott is all smuggler and no budgie."

I feel a song coming on.

Cheers, Rowan
