  1. Today
  2. The buggerup is supposed to hit the Cape tomorrow as a cat 5, wind gusts up to 315 kph they are saying. They're tracking it to hit the east coast just north of Coen and the west coast just south of Aurukun.
  3. Paid 269 for diesel today, ouch. That was in a regional town l was just passing through but never the less. On the war, me's still predicting a total shyt show yet to come. Rump know not what he do, no bloody idea.
  4. l meant early days for EV's,all of it, they haven't even begun. Whatever we buy now will be a T model ford in 5yrs time. 300 500k, like l said, nothin! Self charging or God knows just round the corner, 1000s of k. Flying cars or God knows what any day too, China already is, Japan to. This whole thing , AI , all of it, cars, robots, crapola left and right has not even scratched the surface but the speed it will from here, l don't think most people have any fkg idea. l have a theory, right or wrong l don't giva shyt just sayin who bloody knows but everything they're rushing through right now and all your infrastructure, useless! Nothing will be even need it soon, it'll be all wrong for what's coming . Same with all the windfarms and solar stuff, l just worry about whether they're gonna take all that down later and restore the landscape bc it won't be long and we won't even need them.
  5. Nothing wrong with bats, without them vast swathes of the country would lack many trees, they are our primary animal pollinators.
  6. But he doesn't pay to play golf, in fact he gets paid for the rooms the secret service are forced to pay full price for. Such a greedy fuck
  7. Nev, do you have a photo of it?
  8. A Panther sloper was always on my wish list. I have a rigid 1936 Enfield but it does my back in.
  9. The Chinese yuan (CNY), or Renminbi (RMB), is the official currency of China and ranks as the world's fifth-most-traded currency as of April 2025. It is a Reserve currency for the International Monetary Fund and is seeing growing use in international trade. A few countries are looking at leaving the $US and moving to the Yuan which is probably a good idea considering teh amount of trade the rest of the World does with China. The only reason the World uses the $US for trade is because the USA was the strongest economy in 1944 when the Bretton Woods system of monetary management established the rules for commercial relations. IN 1944 just about every non-Axis country was up to its neck in debt to the USA, and the former Axis countries would be beholden to the USA for reconstruction. Bretton Woods the place in the USA where 44 countries, including the United States, Canada, European countries, and Australia, met to govern monetary relations among independent states. The Bretton Woods system required countries to guarantee convertibility of their currencies into U.S. dollars with the dollar convertible to gold bullion for foreign governments and central banks. The Bretton Woods system was supplanted by the Jamaica Accords in 1976. The accords allowed the price of gold to float with respect to the U.S. dollar and other currencies, albeit within a set of agreed constraints.
  10. Abe Kozminsky, but the DNA result is dodgy. I think there is only a 10% chance or less that it was him.
  11. I watched a documentary on you tube where DNA has matched a polish bloke to be Jack the Ripper, familiar matches of bloody clothes tested positive to his line. he also was an early suspect according to police records.
  12. Looking at the photo, it looks like the frame doesn't run underneath. I can remember in the early 70's there was still a lot of old stuff to be found in farm sheds but rare these days. There was so much around then that I knocked back a Panther 600 sloper shed find as I thought the $20 asking price was a bit steep. It was in good original condition, just needed new clutch plates. We still have a 1924 Hupmobile in the family from new, my grandfather's car. It was put out to farm use at one stage of it's life and then shedded sitting on blocks for a lot of years.
  13. Interesting talk on Late Night Live about Pauline. I can't see how to get a link to it but if you go to ABC.net.au/listen and click on Radio National, it's one of the top picks.
  14. Looks Pretty complete and original. It could be a Model 18, 500 cc or 19, 600 cc. IF it is an ES2 it has a frame that continues along under the Motor. My guess it's a 1937 year. I have a nice shiny one here if anyone's interested in great Mechanical condition. (Model 18. 1937) Nev
  15. It amounts to 37% of the total from that area. Trumpet won't like that arrangement but he has Plenty anyhow and wishes to make A profit from that. JD Vance mentioned Others will be More affected so at least HE acknowledges there ARE others. Nev
  16. Iran has stated it's letting any ships through which aren't supplying the US or its allies. China gets something like 95% of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz and those ships aren't being attacked.
  17. Just posting a photo of this old Norton. A mate sent a link to the facebook group it was on, and the poster said he found it in a barn where it had been sitting for sixty years.. Looks like a late 30's ES2 with a dodgy seat.
  18. BREAKING🚨 IT HAS BEGUN. INDIAN OIL TANKER ALLOWED TO CROSS STRIAT OF HORMUZ AFTER IT PAID IN CHINESE YUEN A major shift in the global financial system has just taken place. An Indian 0il tanker was all0wed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz after paying its dues in Chinese yuan rather than U.S. dollars. This development represents a clear break from the long-standing “petr0dollar” system and suggests the world may be entering a new phase where the U.S. dollar is no longer the only currency dominating global energy trade.
  19. HE doesn't LIVE in the REAL World. We can be sure of that. Nev
  20. I believe it’s around $12-14m. Just loose change in his world.
  21. What Cost is Incurred every time He Plays golf. . What does He pay his Caddy for his excellent services. . Donating a B 747 to Him doesn't help Much. It Goes into His "library' but HE doesn't read any Books. That's fairly Obvious. He's almost Illiterate. Nev
  22. Sir Frances Drake was a Pirate. Jack the ripper was English (I think). A few English Kings weren't that hot. There was more crime in the UK during WW2 than in Peace time. Then there's the Italian Mafia.. The Russian and Ukrainian thugs and gangs. Chinese triads. and so on. Nev
  23. It was reported that his briefers about the upcoming war in Iran talked about an ‘incursion’ into the country, but Trump heard ‘excursion’, and nobody has dared to tell him that they weren’t talking about a picnic or a trip to the beach.
  24. If he was at the Bar at the golf club you wouldn't be seen drinking with him, and it would be a total waste of your time. The King has no clothes. Nev
  25. In the first one, he says, amongst other things, "The windmills are driving the whales crazy." In the second one, he is thanking Ireland for their involvement in building America, then goes off script about his "excursion against nuclear weaponry". Pure dementia.
  26. When I was a new Constable back in 1980, fresh from the Police Academy, I was posted to Campsie, which is next-door to Bankstown. The Division included Lakemba. At that time it was strongly Lebanese. One of the notoriuous families there was the Alameddine family. They crooks then are now old men, but the now we have the third generation which is carrying on the criminal activities. The Alam al-Dins, also spelled Alamuddin or Alameddine, were a Druze family that intermittently held or contested the paramount chieftainship of the Druze districts of Mount Lebanon in opposition to the Ma'n and Shihab families in the late 17th and early 18th centuries during Ottoman rule. The Sydney branch of the family came as refugees from the Lebanese Civil War.
