Whilst I agree that the family unit is not something you hear of everyday (but this is also not the first case of this happening) I dont think anyone has the right to judge them as 'odd', not sure why some people feel they actually have that right or that what they think or judgements they make and share with others actually matters.. When it comes down to it are these people purely because they were born female and now have become male (even though they are using their reproductive organs to have a child) unfit / unsuitable / bad parents? So long as the home life is stable and loving then essentially there is no issue here.. Some people think that my situation is 'odd' i.e being a lesbian and being married to another lesbian and going on the path of starting a family and quite frankly I find it offensive and also find it offensive that people who are not in the situation sitting up on their highchairs and passing judgement.. I dont think anyone whether they be gay / straight / trans / government has the right to tell anyone else how to live and if they are 'allowed' or they feel it is suitable for them to get married or have a family.. Live and let live is what I say...

Well, I guess that must be a > possibility. Is that good or bad? I don't know. Im not sure how you would 'sexually influence' someone..? I was brought up in a straight house with my parents being straight, my 3 brothers and sisters being straight yet I am gay - so did I miss out on being sexually influenced by my family as my siblings did? And why on earth would these people be more likely (for lack of a better phrase) or atleast it be a concern that they would sexually abuse their children? Sexuality is who you are and not what others around you are..

And will the > third child brought into this 'family' end up well > adjusted? Im interested to know why you put quotes around the word family as if to imply you didnt think their unit was a family unit?

I love swadesh!!! When is the date pappo?

There has been two in Oakhurst, one that was resolved earlier this week (that had been reported for two weeks before anything was done) and now there is a new one which when I went by it this morning on my way to work the road was dug up, I had issues with the water in the shower this morning but the water was still running and Im about 4 houses from the main that is burst.

Super useful Mark, really appreciate it.. J

You are a star Barry thanks and yes you are no chocolate teapot that's for sure! he he he

Hi Im hearing there are problems with the trains coming out of London Bridge, SMBJ (or anyone who has just come from LB) is this true or is it ok? thanks

Im not trying to be controversial but what on earth is all the fuss about? I am Australian and to be honest even if I wasnt I wouldnt find that ad racist in any way shape or form. It is based on a KFC bucket which has always been known as the 'share with your mates food' and the fact that in the ad he is sat on the cricket oppositions side and he is probably losing and wanting to make friends with those around him, I mean come on people, racist my backside! I do agree Australia has a long way to come in terms of accepting race, gays and just general equality but this ad is not an example of them being backwards..
