Well I may as well get in on the act and post something really relevant to the original post.
Today I ordered a bottle of Hennessy xo cognac from the local store and the bloody thing will be here on Monday...at the God-almighty price of $241.00 Aust...for you yanks that is currently about 27 cents US.
The last time I ordered a bottle was in the eighties and the damn thing only cost $78.00.
Oh, and the other night a local fellow died in a house fire about 200 yards from my door, the screams were unpleasant to hear and I am sorry he went that way as he was not a bad sort of fellow...actually, he was one of those inoffensive sort of fellows that pretty much got along with everyone.
