Probably a male Thai slave in a Myanmar scam centre.

The surveys are saying she is likely to lose Bendigo to Andrew Lethlean. I met him on Saturday, he is an impressive alternative.

I even had a friend stuck at Abu Dhabi. This event is no small deal. . Trump promised not to start more never-ending wars. He's done for. Nev

She probably still has to shop in Bendigo. What a beat up. Land would be cheaper. It's not like it far away. nev

There is a lot of good with social media, but these fellas are examples of what is wrong with social media. In a world where a lot of people get all their information off social media, they have presented themselves as successful men who work and play hard, and reap the rewards of that hard work. What the solcial media algorithms don't try and do is present all the info - only that which will entice you to keep clicking. So a lot of people looked to them as heroes. Also, most of our MSM and social media are not holding them to account with the intensity it deserves. So, a lot of their crap gets lost in the general noise. Even my daughter, until I pointed out to her what they really do, thought they were being unfairly vilified (she was a bit younger at the time). It has just dawned on me.. One of the benefits of having a physical newspaper (and other media - such as a TV) that was not a personal device was that parents could guide their kids to take a wider view of information and for them to find the information, despite not being availed of the diversity of information at their fingertips in the information age. With the information being more and more recactively presented based on an algorithm rather than being proactively sought, this may well get worse before it gets better.

Isn't a Local Member supposed to be local so that they are sensitive to the matters importnat to that electorate?

Is this a sign of the effects of Trump's excursion? Have you noticed empty shelves in tthe supermarkets? There are vacancies in all the supermarkets. I went to ALDI today to buy some Chateau de Carton. There wasn't any there a fortnight ago, and none today. If you want a good selection of Arnott's biscuits, good luck! ALDI was even out of the really good shaving cream that I have been using for ages.

There is no law requiring an MP live in the constituency they represent, nor is there an issue with someone moving house. But, here is the AI view of the world of Victorian MPs. Interestingly, as in the UK, there appears to be an expectation that the <P does live in their constituency. Though I do wonder how a premier or senior cabinet minister can spare the time t represent their constituency in the same way as a back-bencher, so not sure it matters that much where they live. But, I would guess the coalition and Greens (and I guess, any independents that may be in Vic) do see it as very important. At the leadership level, maybe we should be concerned about her policies, integrity (personal and government), and her (and her team's) ability to execute. Shall we use this thread as a discussion in the run up to the Vic election in November?

This mught fit a thread called "How crazy is this crazy world" The infamous Male Supremacist Tate bros (I invented that term) got a private jet flight from Romania (I think?) to USA. Now have been arrested in Miami for extradition to face charges in Blighty. LONDON – Influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have been arrested in Miami after British authorities issued 38 new charges against them, including allegations of rape and sex trafficking. Is this the image of alpha males in 2026?

Ah, to be alone in the Backseat of the Beast with my best mate, Vlad. Nev

More rain today they say. Men's shed day. Are you here past next weekend, Jerry and do you like trad Jazz? Nev

The floozie

Yeah there was a message from a "female" on my profile too.

He is working on Russia v2.0.

Why are we surprised? Trump admires dictators and despots. He has stripped the top level of administration of anyone with knowledge and brains, and replaced them with yes-men. The only required attribute is loyalty (and tribute). He has openly said that the American public won't have to vote again, and is actively dismantling democracy. He has used his position to gain him and his equally disgusting family billions - the most corrupt public figure, let alone president, ever. He supports and enables the worst white supremacists in the country, allows and encourages political violence when it's against his adversaries, and is racist himself. And we're surprised when something like this happens?

Cool air More Lift. It was very cold today. I know as I put a new set of spark plugs in the 98 Au . 10 years since the last ones were fitted. Fortunately I'd used anti seize, but had to warm the engine to get the Back one out. Of course that's the Most inaccessible. It's colder here than Melbourne. 1500 feet up. Nev

Some elderly people's cognitive skills diminish - esp during the onset of dementia.

The email came into my personal email account. As I said, if anyone on this forum would be sending me an email, it would be through the forum's messaging system. That's why I deleted the email without opening it. I knew that I could contact Jerry either through this thread or by using the forum's system. I am astounded by how elderly people could let themselves be conned into giving money to strangers who contact them online. Surely we don't have to put up billboards with messages warning that teh internet is rife with scammers in order to give protection to people.

Blimey! You are right.. The Mars here taste a lot worse than the UK, and the recipe in Aus was swapped from the UK to the USA recipe some years ago. I made the mistake of tarring Cadbury's with the same brush. I will get one tomorrow and check it out.. If better, I will defo take some back.

My guess it would be to separate the Pumped Hydro addition from the Original Hydro and Irrigation functions. New Concept added. Maybe other Rivers and areas could also use the catchment. .Nev

I flagged them as a spammer, blocked their login and deleted all their posts 25 min after you reported the occurrance. At least 10 identical posts on that many forums. Like a few emails I have received and PM's on Facebook from women who spam any link they can get hold of. Have been reported as asking for money. One over 70yo guy got taken for over $300,000 according to the news a couple of weeks ago.

But English Cadbury's has less cocoa butter than Aussie Cadbury's. The good stuff has been replaced by palm oil.

I did report a post from some "female" on my profile - but I didn't send a site email and a personal email would be from an account that does not have jerry_atrick as the sender. 9:45am seems a bit late, too. On that basis, I wouldn't click the llink - without hovering over it to check it is legit.
