    Seriously , where is the bloody article
    I'm taking a wild guess here but would it be on page 8 of the actual printed SMH paper.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Yep but us Mexicans don't have that do we

    As the Scotsman said to the editor of the Times.

    " If you do not refrain from publishing further articles regarding the frugal nature of my fellow country men , I shall stop borrowing an edition of your paper "

    Defence set to launch mega disposal sale


    me thinks the part "said that would likely mean the bulk sale of vehicles would go to companies which would repair and upgrade the vehicle for resale." means choppers, planes and ships. i cant see a bulk sale of land rovers or mack trucks going to a company to rebuild them for resale it's just not a financially viable option.(for the buyer) and as for tourist mobs grabbing the ex ambos like yesteryear i dont think that will happen either, an insurance company would not provide cover.

    and there's a reason I refuse to read any Murdoch publication thanks to the deliberate slant and mis-reporting of most anything, it's become the Faux news of Australia, but i digress.....

    Actually I think that even in Mexico the SMH paper version is available. Particularly at Tullamarine and probably Flinders Street Station at least.

    I used to work with a guy at Dubbo airport who would borrow a paper, head upstairs to Flight Service and photocopy the whole lot.

    Only in boutique newsagencies especially catering for the homesick Sydneysiders.
    Real newsagents down these parts sell The Herald, The Age, The Australian, The Financial Review, The Weekly Times, The Australian Womens Weekly, a small selection of mens magazines and lotto tickets. Nothing else is worth buying.
