I think it was one of those adult onsies; even had the panda head hood hanging at the back...other than that, I have no idea what possesses a person to go out in public dressed as a panda.

Their job?

Sounds like they are more exciting than the duds at Adelaide Zoo

Nope, year 12 student on holidays. Must be their "relax and watch tv" outfit...

Could still be their job. Part time marketing job perhaps?

Could be like the guy dressed up as Cookie Monster playing the bagpipe busking in Southbank

Looked more like loungewear/sleepwear than an actual costume if that makes sense.

And they went out in public like that?

Yep. Though from their house to mine wasn't far, probably wasn't seen by anyone else. Tempted to ask about it but I just wanted the money for my car repairs...

So the aircraft has been at the gate for at least an hour and no sign of boarding yet. Not a single announcement. No change in status of flight. Supposed to take off in 6 minutes and even with a light load that is not likely to happen. Weather is starting to look bad as well.

At this stage I don't like my chances of making the last direct bus to Varsity Lakes at 7:07pm

When I was in the USA last year there were newspaper reports that the relationship between her and Ronnie Reagan were no where near as close as portrayed in the media. It was mentioned that the USA didn't support her campaign to fend off the Argies from the Falkland Islands.

Wonder what else will come out now she is dead?

. It was mentioned that the USA didn't support her campaign to fend off the Argies from the Falkland Islands.

We pretty much knew that 30 years ago. I don't think it was any great secret.

Wow, thanks for posting about Margaret Thatcher, Princess Fiona. Evokes memories - 1992 seems so long ago now, I must be getting old

We all age a little bit when someone who had such a presence in world politics dies.
