Keith, me ol' trout! A propos absolutely nothing to do with this thread, I am reminded of a framed document in my office.

It is from the Ballarat Times, wherein there was recorded a disturbance at the United States Hotel.

Seems like a bloke called Jon Skagfeld was arrested and taken into custody for being drunk & disorderly and disturbing the peace.

Mebbe I was tryin' to warn the populace about the bird eatin' spiders, wandering over from Bowen, eh? Sunray would love that!

Cheers...
