A NZ museum had also sent irreplaceable historic lichen samples which suffered the same fate. Perhaps Australian Customs recruiting from the same gene pool as the TSA? See:

You'd wake up to the delightful budgetary news that the banks are going to be the screwed for a change.
Although we'll see how it all pans out. The Treasurer may claim that the government will ensure the banks don't pass the new taxes onto customers, but.....

The saga of Hiram Big son of the late Mr.Big is not over. More troubles of a non-military kind are brewing for Quokka Terrace. Stay tuned.

Hiram Big son of the late Mr.Big is going on a business vacation for a few weeks. That battle with those terrorists has caused some damage to the sub-structure of Quokka Terrace and Hiram has to consult with a bunch of geologists before he can come home.

I read that and then had a thought,

I think that all non Aussie VEF members who post in this thread will be given a nick name when posting in this thread, a nickname we use here often , so from now on TM when you post in this thread you're name is Kev

Next non Aussie to post will get theirs then

But for now, TM is Kev

Kiev

You're spelling is as bad as mine, I typed Kev ... short for Kevin, we use it commonly here , just like another nickname we use here commonly, Blue or Bluey .... That's your name from now on, the reason you get it is that it's the opposite of Red

Speaking of names. I just read that Sheila is wwwaaaayyyyyy down the list in popularity for a girl's name. Gee I wonder why that might be?

I don't understand. Why do I need a nickname? Everytime I post my Avatar with my username is to the left of my post, so what point is there in giving me a nickname. What 's been happening to you Estreeter. You sound like you're going off the deep end( an American expression that indicates that the person is going nuts). You been drinking some bad liquor or maybe you got into a fight with a kangaroo and you got beat so bad that your skull fractured. Something is up. There's more stuff happening on VEF. cuzzyman927 has a new Avatar. Brecht has been promoted to supermod. And whatever happened to sandhunter?
