Emailed Simone , well let you know what she says . I'll sent a nice letter to the Austrian Embassy protesting their abhorred treatment of your people .
If that doesn't work how about a revolution?.

If you cancel the football season, make cricket illegal and put a 600% excise duty on beer you'll get Australians to stage a revolution. But apart from that, it's not an option.

Hijack all the beer truck , blowup all the radio and tv stations . If you need instructors I know some fine gents from the IRA that aren't doing anything right now , they be more then happy to help.

You could try the Australian Embassy too

They'll do you feck all good. Couldn't organise a root in a brothel that lot. The only time I ever resorted to them was in Thailand during one of the many abortive coups of the 80's and they were about as much use as mammary glands on a bull. The British took us out on their planes and billed the incompetent twats later.

I do hope they had the good sense to pad the account.

I'll be honest I don't think there are any Embassies, that do much of anything.  The ones in the US do nothing but grant diplomatic immunity.

I've, unfortunately, been a guest at a lot of US Embassies across the world and have yet to find one that does a damn thing besides party with the rich and famous of whatever country they are in.

Probably get better responce from the Austrian government.
Time for and uprising .

It's a Lakota prayer, or a reference to one.  Literally it means, "for all my relations..." but basically it's a term for the universal connectivity of all things.

Thank you.

I liked the look of the words on the page and there was something I liked about the way they felt in my mouth while I said them that was weirdly satisfying.

I am going to remember that.....Mitakuye oyasin. That's a fine sentiment.

It's similar to the Hindi work "namaste", which is also a statement of universal connection of all things...
