Truly amazing tv to watch!...... can get thru the rest of my life not worrying about a pesky fly now that the Pres of USA is on our team.
Talk about Shock and Awe, truly a shock for the fly to be dead and awe for the world to see such precision tatics utilised.

Kurt Fearnley: I was relief teaching in Blayney when I met Kurt as a young school boy. The first thing that struck me was his smile and contagious positive outlook at all times.
