That's it - an act that saved PM John Howard's bacon. His right wing coalition government had been lagging behind Labor in the polls - the act of stopping illegal immigration struck a chord with enough voters two months later for them to retain government and condemn Australia to six more years of them. Over to you.
I think that's just a Post Office thing. There are addresses in Bedfordshire, just over the border, that have Hitchin in their address and Hertfordshire as part of their address, e.g. Shillington, Hitchin, Herts - although Shillington is in Bedfordshire.
Must add that to my bucket list - probably just above the Icelandic Phallological Museum... In 1957, who or what linked 8.6metres and 1.6metres?
Sometimes yes, but in this instance no. It does have something to do with water though. In Australia...
The 8.6m might be the longest ever croc, shot in 1957. As for the 1.6m, was that the height of the Polish woman who shot it?
Yes - Krystyna Pawlowski, a 1.6m tall Polish immigrant, shot and killed the 8.6 metre monster on a bank of the Norman River in Queensland's Gulf Country. In a 15 year career as a crocodile hunter, she's thought to have killed and skinned around 10,000 of them - and that particular beast was the biggest ever killed in Australia. Fair play to her - I would have run a mile if I'd seen that... Over to you.
Bloody monster, wasn’t it? Thanks, BB. 25 years ago tomorrow, Watford played against our dear friends from up the M1. 0-0. At that time, Watford’s manager, assistant manager, Director of Youth Football and Youth Development Officer had all played for the Hornets. Who were they? First to name all four.
Kenny Jackett and Luther Blisset were in charge I think of the first team until GT returned. Who the other two were I cannot remember.
