Re: [Cz-L] Resilience

Okay, okay, I give up.

Now I am filled up to my ears with brotherly/sisterly love.
It's past midnight here in Australia but I'm ready to go out into the dark
streets of Sydney in search for Ukrainians and Lithuanians I am dying to
embrace.

The problem is that I live in Bellevue Hill which is, as you as a former
Sydneysider, know, is a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood....So it will
have to wait at least till tomorrow!
