You wouldn't be attempting to troll me this evening would you now boxy?




Past my bedtime ... will check in tomorrow if I get a chance.

Maybe IQ is not really Chinese but is a secret pygmy? Or maybe a Chinese pygmy?

Trolling is a no-no, I have learnt my lesson (sorry to those that may have suffered, been impacted or effected)

No one should troll anyone
It is nothing more than being a pest and a bully

How perceptive of you, AiA. It must have been IQ who was a boarder at Aussie's joint and used his computer without permission, all those years ago. Suddenly, we all know who Aussie's secret Chinese boarder was. Well done.

When the 'trolling' is tongue-in-cheek, I don't take offence.
Boxy and I have been taking shots at each other for years now, but it's not sinister. A bit of cheeky fun.
I generally don't take offense even when trolling is sinister, I generally ignore or humour those who dish it these days.

IQ as The Chinese Student? It all makes sense now

Wish I had more time to address this topic, as it's not the first I seen regarding those refered to as Pygmy Negritos.

I deliberately omitted mention of them when commenting on the referena to recognise the modern aboriginal in our constitution as 'the First Australians' lest the thread I created on the topic "False Recognition" degenerate into a squable concerning possible conspiracy theories or the like. For the simple reason I know very little about the Qld Pygmies other than the last reported sighting was in Charters towers in the late 70s or early 80s (forget now).

Anyway, dogs been on chain for almost 12 hours, so it's time I wnt and fed my mutts.
