Hi, No, I'm not suggesting you report it; it's hard for me to imagine an author of Pratchett's status and popularity (or, his fans) allowing the complete work to be read by Joe Maniac on YouTube ... the work is on Audible as a pay-for [^]. I'm just puzzled how this content has stayed up given the fact YouTube does police IP content.
cheers, Bill

You'd also find something agreeable in the stuff that an infinite amount of monkeys generate.

Federal Election day here in Aus. No idea who is in the party, no idea if they even have any policies let alone what they are. But they are not Labor or Liberal (the two parties who are the only real chance of being elected) or one of those Jesus/What ever those other goddy types are or environmental.
I'm expecting my eye patch in the mail shortly.

We have something similar next week. Although we are voting for people to become members of a parliament that we voted to leave, and should have left almost two months ago. If the Pirate Party are standing I may well be tempted.

We have the Monster Raving Loony Party[^] who are probably much the same mob.
They never do that well (except in byelections) but they do tend to come up with some good policies (such as reporting the Welsh Dragon to the monopolies commission as there is only one).

If the Australian Pirate Party is similar to the original one is Sweden then it's a serious party. Pirate Parties have won appreciable shares of the vote in general elections in some countries.
See Pirate Party - Wikipedia[^]

Years ago we had the Rhinoceros party here in Canada. One year they announced their platform was a sundeck.
I miss them.
MM - instead of marking your ballot with an ‘X’. Did you mark it with an ‘Arrrrrghh’?

I reckon they put more thought in to their shite than any of the parties here did.

Unfortunately here in Australian we have to mark at least 6 boxes starting with a 1 next to our prefer candidate and moving down from there.

Democracy at its best, then.
I'm beginning to understand why every time Aussie politics are brought up in the news, it always seems to be about the population being pissed off at those they elected for some bone-headed legislation that just went through.
Maybe making informed choices at election time has something to do with it, maybe not--but what do I know, I'm a Canadian and we have Trudeau to deal with anyway, so apparently we're not immune the sort of thing that got him elected.
Oh, wait. Politics, lounge--soapbox. I'll shut up now. It's probably too late already.

Not sure the Oz version counts as politics - voting is compulsory there, so they have to vote for something or face a horrible punishment: a AU$20 fine.[^] (about CAN$18)
To be honest, you probably save money by not voting, if it's going to take you a while to do it ...

By the Great Ghu we are f***ing idiots and Queensland (where I live) is the worst, the party that absolutely could not win 3 weeks ago is now in power. You think the US is insane with Trump, Oz is just as bad with scumo (pronounced scum o).
Apologies for politics in the Lounge but MM started it!
