Chappaquiddick Ted dead

Like the bastardised alliteration.

Doesn't alliteration means that all the words begin with the same letter?

In the English speaking world it does.

It was previous unclear as to whether Queensland belonged there or not.

No just the stress on the syllables with the letter in them, or starting with them and anyway I said it was bastardised, and the point is the old dinosaur finally called it a day.

We don't. We speak strine. It's only spivs who speak like transplanted poms.

GAE would smack you around the ears

D's a good letter for alliteration along with L Esp in poetry.

I get Chappaquiddick Ted confused with Punxsutawney Phil.

Which is which?
or who is who?

So did anyone have Ted in the dead pool?

Does 46-years service make up for what he did at Chappaquiddick?

Perhaps it would have had he bore the consequences of his actions, but he got away scott free.

I have much more respect for his three elder brothers.

May he rest in peace.

That line reminds me of Nixon's interview with Frost. He said "No one knows how it feels to resign the presidency. Is that punishment enough? Probably not."

Hehehe. I must admit that was my first thought, WW. I thought "Sh!t, the groundhog must've been pretty old".

Maybe his eldest brother who never got much of a chance to fark up. Certainly not daddy.

Respect comes in all kinda guises Hass.

The Kennedy clan, if bio's, press clippings and historians are to be believed, were nothing less than a ruthless Irish mafia outfit, founded on prohibition busting whisky imports from Canada.

Jack tried to form a dynasty that floundered with his assassination; Bobby liked power (Attorney General) but was also assasinated whilst Ted was just a coward. Even John Jr (Jack's son) died mysteriously in a plane crash a few years back...

You've got to think that a lot of people must have both loathed and distrusted the Kennedy's to have had the family encounter such "misfortunes" over the decades ... either that or they were the most misunderstood bunch of respectable Bostonites!!

It's also claimed that parts of the the film "Road to Perdition" was loosely based on the clan's activities.

PS - Both Jack and Bobby jumping Monroe within 48 hours of ach other ... strange lot those Kennedys.

Nothing I guess, unless you like batting on worn and sticky wickets!

Um, not usually a problem after 48 hours.

Hmmmm, I'll settle for taking your word on it.

So you are saying you wouldn't have jumped Munroe?

FFS Merlin, you have no hope of selection in a footy team in Australia if you have that kind of attitude!

Wasn't Bobby slipping it to Jackie as well?

Not at all.
Would have ...in a flash.
No brainer.

But not so soon after a couple of Kennedy's had berthed alongside her.
