Have heard that one at least 100 times this morning alone...

Did you say 'deer oh deer'?

Rubber ducky you’re the one you make bath time lots of fun

You are the sun, you are the rain, that makes my life a foolish game

I interpreted it as 'which is'.

The insurance company want to total it.. I am discussing it with them now.. It wasn't a huge deer, no... Agree.. Although I still should have taken the bl@@dy motorway! More burger or stew than haunch (in one piece)... No idea! Should probably have been "Was on..", but sometimes I wonder if it is me or the Bluetooth conenction from the keyboard getting signals mixed.

That is also my plan

I like the concept of having independant power sources. Once I get an EV I won't care who owns all the oil wells. My driving cost is not going to rely on some foreign cartel setting the price of fuel. I won't care about the anti renewable lobby. nor will I care about grid stability. Furthermore, I suspect that quite a lot of others are following this same path.

Well they passed the stadium. Only this bunch of losers (and I lump together both major parties and the spineless independents who voted yes) could take leave of their senses, bend the entire state over a barrel, and pimp our collective arse to the AFL. Only they could ignore the planning experts and every economist, all of whom comprehensively rejected this monstrosity, and approve something which will cost well over $1b, bring in revenue of less than half of that, dominate the historic Hobart waterfront, and has no parking or public transport. Oh, and when in use will block up traffic on the busiest street in the city. At a time when Tasmania is already holding historic levels of debt, just been downgraded by S&P, and is crying out for staff and services in health, education and justice. This guy puts it better than I ever could. Victoria, stop complaining about your state government, I think we've got it worse right now. https://www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/04/tasmania-macquarie-point-stadium-cost/

That's exactly what he said, as the deer went under.

Did you at least bring home a haunch of venison?

Maybe he uses the equivalent of an autopen...

After a lot of rain I spent two days in the garden, pulling weeds and trimming edges. Then today it was windy and a large branch fell across the garden right where I had been working. Chainsaw today and tomorrow.

Thank goodness you weren’t on the bike.

I have reached my advanced years without needing an electric toothbrush, electric shaver or electric car. But I really appreciate my electric chainsaw, hedge trimmer, leaf blower and whipper snipper. Have used them all in the last couple of days, great labour savers and easy to use.

That'd give ya the shz. 😄 Deer couldn't have been too sizeable? When I read the first line, I expected to see a Mini totalled.

Veteran Australian presenter Arthur Higgins, whose remarkable broadcasting career in TV and radio spanned six decades, has died aged 85 following a long illness.

Imagine if he joined our forum, non of us would get through all his posts.😂

Saw a funny clip today , on one of their news. This is no shyt they had proof but trump did 150 tweets and rants after 1am for 2-3hrs. 150. Bloody hell he's a crazy bastard.

Hit a deer last night on the drive home from London. Bugger! Did it on the A303, wgucg us a dual lane carriageway (where I hit it), travelling at c. 70mph. Deer went under the car as far as I could tell. I thought I hit it middle on, bit it was slighlty left of centre (or its inertia took it that way as it was coming right to left). As it was in the A303 in a live road, the police had to come first to cordon off the lane. They they recovered it, but I have to do the insurance stuff this morning and have it recovered and hopefully repaired. Airbags didn't deploy, so hopefully not a write off (getting value for a like for like replacement is almost impossible). On the positive, car did astonishingly well; driver unharmed, buut radiator and no doubt some of the undercarriage is stuffed. Would say a minimum of £3k damage:

This seems to be reasonable article re renewables.. prices dropping, but the risks if renewables investment does not continue and mismanaged roll out. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-04/aemc-flags-fall-in-power-prices-as-renewable-energy-surges/106098392?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other

That kind of posting can only be done by a bored potato, so yeah definitely an employee
