Never, ever in the morning or during the day.<br /><br />Now you'd think a bunch of people who could get a really difficult problem like that right should have had no difficulty at all with an NBN, wouldn't you.<br /><br />But turning to the Bromancer: "...<i>great nations such as the US <b>tend</b> to be driven by their national interests</i>."<br /><br />Whereas lesser nations such as Australia <b>tend</b> to be driven by a great need to sacrifice for the greater good. And that's why Australians died in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, etc on behalf of the US. But I'm so very mollified by the realisation that we, and the US, only <b>tend</b> to these things and don't pursue them actively.
