JA2340 16 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Full quote (and a very good rollicking song it is too!) ... Spanish Ladies - traditionalFarewell and adieu unto you Spanish ladies Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain For it's we've received orders for to sail for old England But we hope very soon we shall see you again We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England From Ushant to Sicily is thirty-five leagues We hove our ship to with the wind at sou'west, boys We hove our ship to, our soundings to see So we rounded and sounded; got forty-five fathoms We squared our main yard and up channel steered we Chorus Now the first land we made it is called the Deadman Next Ram Head off Plymouth, off Portland the Wight We sailed by Beachy, by Fairlee and Dungeness Till we came abreast of the South Foreland Light Chorus Then the signal was made for the grand fleet to anchor All in the Downs that night for to lie Then it's stand by your stoppers, see clear your shank-painters, Haul all your clew garnets, let tacks and sheets fly Chorus Now let every man toss off a full bumper And let every man drink off a full glass And we'll drink and be merry and drown melancholy Singing, here's a good health to each true-hearted lass Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Plan to kill great white sharks that swim too close to Australian beaches Western Australian officials have approved a plan to pre-emptively track and kill the endangered species Australian officials, under pressure to protect beachgoers after a string of deadly shark attacks, have approved a plan to kill sharks that venture too close to people in the water. The plan, which was announced by Western Australia state premier, Colin Barnett, on Thursday, has infuriated conservationists and marks a sharp reversal of the current policy that permits the killing of sharks only after they have attacked. "We will always put the lives and safety of beachgoers ahead of the shark," Barnett told ABC radio. "This is, after all, a fish – let's keep it in perspective." Barnett, along with the state fisheries minister, Norman Moore, announced the policy change as part of a AU$6.85m (£4.41m)) package of "shark mitigation strategies" aimed at reducing the risk of attacks on beachgoers. There have been five fatal shark attacks in Western Australia in the past year, prompting some residents to demand a more aggressive shark management plan. The new funding will pay for a fisheries department service to track, catch and kill sharks that get too close to swimmers, a study of shark enclosures at beaches, more jet skis for lifeguards and a GPS tracking program.

Qld is to Australia what the deep south is to the US. Full of extremist religious conservatives. More kids in Aus get taught that creationism is real in Qld than in any other state.
