Re: Hey Yobbo, any idea what's this all about?
as non sequiturs go that has to be a record beater - diplomats avoiding prosecution to the great barrier reef in one step!
BTW the great barrier reef is on the coast of Australia not NZ

Both countries are tucked away in the South Pacific.
It is a tragedy that global warming has had a terrible effect on the coral in the Gr Barrier Reef.

I did not take it that seriously.
Seemed like humor to me.

I did not realize NZ was so far south, or that the reef was so coastal to Australia.
Not my area of expertise.

So is it just the temperature, or has the ph of the ocean changed?

Which is precisely how it was intended. With my tongue planted squarely in my left cheek. But ever since I came to the U.S. I have had a problem with my intended irony being interpreted literally. ,actually Yobbo and I have long since come to terms with our one minor - or is it major - difference. I understand his hatred of America and Americans, and in particular the reasons for that hatred. And he understands and accepts - or simply chooses to ignore - the fact that I believe he is dead ass wrong. Rather we choose to discuss the areas where we are in agreement. Which is most other areas. Now you and I Rigby? I happen to agree with a former member of this group who believed you simply love to play the devils advocate on virtually every issue that arises. So I just no longer feel like arguing. Other than to make an occasional good natured ironic jab at you. But as is sadly the case, as has most often been the case when I attenpt any humour in English - it misses the mark entirely. For the record, I both like and respect you and Yobbo -- even I f you are both dead ass wrong. ;-). As far as the "going home to die" comment is concerned, that is just an expression that is used when someone relocates following retirement. Yes I would love to die while either fishing on the Adriatic or fly fishing in the Julian Alps. But I want that to be about 25 years in the future.

And it was funny, I know some but luckily they are a big minority where I live.
