Ehh?? Ned, pay attention.
Terror = Sydney Harbour = Syd Bridges.

It's so obvious really. Tell Mr BlairBush.

Hugh, I always wondered why you had that avatar...... its all become clear!!

I did a search for "war on terrorism" which lead me to that site. If you scroll down that page, you'll see a "war on terrorism" hyperlink.
Quite a few unimaginative Aussies living or travelling abroad call themselves Syd Bridge after their beloved Sydney Harbour Bridge...hence the connection.
Not get much sleep last night Ned?

That's a very far sought relation between a name and a statement

[useless fact mode]

the humber bridge is so large, that the tops of opposite towers are 2 inches further apart than the bases, due to the curvature of the earth.

the bridge wobbles like hell on the way back from a visit to the Wheatshief pub in Barton .. quite stable on the way there though... strange.
