RANT: our fridge which is less than three years old looks like it got a little battered on the move over from Perth. A couple of weeks ago it decided to beep at night time - referring to the fact its freezer was too warm - only to be reset and go off again 50 minutes later. After getting it fixed (tubing to compressor cracked, no gas!) and all being happy, it started doing it again at 2300 last night. I am now on hold, having taken a day off work, to get the service people to come and fix it as I refuse to lose another night's sleep to the effing thing. Of course, they're experiencing high call volumes than usual.

RAVE: It's a nice day.

All things considered!

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
