Sorry, I thought you were referring to Canada. In the US, many states have rules on welfare receipients having non-supporting partners, but it doesn't have to do with sex. Australia really legislates morality for those on social assistance?

NaokoSmith said:

Oh, OK, I'm not very British at all <snerk>. I don't know what gave it away.

It's very hard to associate to lack of belief, I think you better put another play down for me. Title of a play, not playing games!

Where, I wonder, did the be-hatted, pipe-smoker originate ?
The shape of the face and the general layout is late 50's (the face reminds me of Dan Dare in Civvies, drawn by Frank Hampson (??)).

Meanwhile, the Army has coughed up a famous air-plane.
One used as "Gate Guard" this old meatbox is now in a museum.

That famous 1950s comic the Eagle (featuring Dan Dare, pilot of the Future) was published by a sizeable house and it included a comic for girls called "Girl".

By strange quirk of fate, there are four of the annuals in my local charity shop.

A comic for girls called 'Girl' reminds me a chap I used to know who had a cat named Cat, a dog named Dog, and boat named Boat.

LOL, Captain Jack Sparrow saying he knew a sailor who had one eye, one leg and one arm, and they called him Larry.

I was on the banks of the Thames in 2000 AD! It is a long time ago, that's why it seems that way, LOL.
Afterwards, I went to the Brick Lane bagel bakery and had a salmon and cream cheese bagel and a squishy jam doughnut, mmmm!

Oh, it's a total blast here! with the effing question that has been written so badly I'm spending half my life re-drafting it for the little students to understand, and the online tutorial powerpoint slides to put together.

Party streamers and balloons!
