b) Countering the bad news with positive adverts might be a good idea.
c) It was issued by a public body. Getting a decision made to stop the ads going out might take months.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

I wonder what kind of films our tourist board (if there is such a think) is putting out in other countries?
The only one I could find is this one. whose overriding message is "Shhh! Pipe down with your racket, Johhny Foreigner! I'm trying to do the Telegraph Crossword here!"
Also, the song ends with "for no bonds can ever tempt me from she", which flies in the faces of both grammar and sense.Last edited by thunderlizard; 12 January 2011, 19:20.Comment

I must say I'm very disappointed that there aren't any good 'alternative' versions of it.
Yes Australia is no larger than the Isle of wight. Clearly you've never been to Oz. It's like saying the floods in Berlin would mean travelling to Lisbon is a no no."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Right now I'm looking at a car floating past my house; I can see fridges, furniture, sofas - there's even been a report of a shark sighted. It was a bull shark and it was spotted in a local suburban street. We do have sharks in the Brisbane River; they have obviously come over the flood barriers and come looking for food.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
