Where is the Colonel?

News just in. Out of concern for the Colonels safety, reporting restrictions were in place during his incarceration at the secret hide away in the Australian outback.

Two Caucasian females were seen speeding away from the Colonels hidden retreat in the early (would have been early but one is a decidedly slow starter) hours of Monday morning. It is known the Holden Commadore being driven, was the price demanded for the return of the Colonels freedom & his peace of mind. A grease covered Colonel has been seen lurking in an odd manner at the local B.P. engineers workshop where it is understood he was serving a half day apprenticeship in the fitting of a new water pump and a harmonic balancer(?) to the Commadore, lessons were also received in fine engineering and clean final presentation!. Male backpackers have been cautioned against accepting free rides from two unaccompanied young ladies.

All our governments need to collect tax. Here in Aus they are in the process of introducing GST (VAT), Oh the joy and confusion for them. There is a stamp duty to pay already on most things, car transfer, 3%, all insurances

5%. On bank deposits, and withdrawals a debits and credits tax. We might be luckier than we know in the U.K.!
