November 17 - any takers?

Later, 1 December, waiting on the US economy to get into more trouble, he hopes and make more use of taxpayer-funded electioneering.
Could be a poison chalice this one, wer'e due for a bump in the cycle. The later the worse. (What are they going to do in Canberra next week?) Of course there's the reserve bank and interest rates, the rest of the world thinks they're going up.

[The Bigfella]

So ........ that's a ticket if either of us is right?

[skuthorp]

Yeah, as long as you've not got the inside running, with you're contacts. It's on anyhow, but if you win and the ticket comes good I want a ride on that gin palace you've got moored on the river, right?

[The Bigfella]

If I win, I'll claim the inside running. If I lose ...... I'll buy the ticket.

[The Bigfella]

Well - I did have some inside running - but not the definite date - obviously. So - I'll call that a loss and get us the ticket.

[skuthorp]

Both wrong, I'll buy one too, split 1/2 way if it comes home, OK?
I'm largely tuning out for a week or two, 6 weeks! strewth! What a waste of money! A friend in a polling organisation has been rostered 6 days a week for the period! Think I'll unplug the phone.
