This is a good article about "these (repulsive) people": http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/10/11/1034222596319.html One of B.U.G.A. U.P.'s founders, Dr Arthur Chesterfield-Evans, became a respected member of the New South Wales Legislative Council, the upper chamber of our state parliament. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Chesterfield-Evans Another B.U.G.A. U.P. founder, Lord Bloody Wog Rolo (Rolo Mestman Tapier), was a hugely interesting man of undeniable integrity. Australia is a less colourful place since his passing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Bloody_Wog_Rolo The third founder doesn't have a Wikipedia page devoted to him, but that doesn't matter to me because I knew him as a professional colleague and workmate. Ric Bolzan is anything but repulsive. When B.U.G.A. U.P. began Australia had not long banned tobacco advertising on TV. The tobacco industry had then swung their huge advertising budgets across to public space advertising and sports sponsorships, with the effect that more children than ever were being exposed to the culture of tobacco. B.U.G.A. U.P. put the counter view into the public eye. Make of that what you will, but Australians love a larrikin, and they loved B.U.G.A. U.P.'s pranks. regards, Anthony "Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight" (Anon) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
