Both laugh and weep, Sharkey. In this context, weep, but in a laughing kind of way, the way Homer describes Andromache in the Iliad -- laughing through tears.

And of course it's ridiculous. But remember not so long ago, in historic terms, there was such a thing as 'the White Australia policy' which the blessed Gough fully dismantled in 1975.

Michael, yes! I agree about it being the best BL. Speaking of films, if our national anthem were a film, the film would be The Castle. I'm sure you've seen it! "how's the serenity"
