I don't know whether to put this in the Gripes thread or start a new thread, Grapes. Admittedly, at least while living here, I occasionally had Jacobs Creek reserve varieties, and of course, Wolfie. But I took 6 months off drinking and am now only having the odd tipple, and ensuring I keep it with the growers/winemakers I know. The problem is, in the UK, there are fewer places to get more independent brands. Around here, Majestic, which is a big national chain, something akin to Dan Murphies but not quite on the same scale, has a small selection of Aussie wines. The old chains, Odd Bins and Unwins folded under debt mountains, but they had the best selection of Aussie wines.. There are some online order sellers, but given where I am wit the move back, I don't want to amass a collection before going and I don't drink enough to warrant sending all back to where it came from. I tried Jam Shed and 19 Crimes and between them, one of them gets. IMHO, the worst wine I have ever tasted and the other a close second.. And I have had a terrible tasting wine.

OH how a simple statment can be misconstrued!

Agree.. But does someone have his email address and can give him a buzz to see.

I didn't know whether to sad or funny emoticon that one. Hope the latter

I don't need to know. Nev

Sounds like my trip to the loo this morning.

He has disappeared for weeks and months a couple of times in the past, so I hope no cause for alarm.

He was Put there by DOG to do his work. Nev

Most people knew he was bent when they voted him in. For some reason they didn't care then and I doubt they would care now... if they changed their minds about him, I bet that isn't a factor

They may have a plan to keep Trump in after 2028 but I doubt whether Trump will know what’s going on around him by then. JD Vance and others won’t be too happy about that prospect either. They will want him gone.

Listen to what Steve Bannon has to say - https://www.facebook.com/reel/680260771405765

I think his last activities on both this forum and RecFlying was June 30th., so over three months now.

Pineapple is Native to South America. It was introduced here (Sydney) in 1826. Against a sunny fence it would grow ok in Newcastle. When you cut the top off, Plant it and it will grow a new plant. Nev

There were some thunderstorms in my area yesterday afternoon. I watched as they passed not more than a kilometre away on the other side of the property boundary. All I got was wind and slushy raindrops.

Sounds just like Tasmania.

OneTrack hasn’t been around since June despite being a frequent contributor. I don’t suppose anyone knows what happened to him and whether he’s OK?

17th century English explorers thought it looked like a pine cone but tasted like a fruit. Apple was a common name for fruit of various kinds at the time so it became pineapple.

If a pineapple is not an apple, and doesn't grow on pine trees, why is it called a pineapple?

Bloody typical. Beautiful morning.. forecast was a small chance of rain.. go and buy weedkiller and the moment I step out of the garden centre, it rains... reasonably heavily as well.

That sounds like a good way to do it. I'm only just starting to get bills again. With my low power useage and all the post covid state and federal subsidies that we were recieving, I was in credit for a long time. I don't think I paid a bill for a couple of years or more, so just getting used to it again.

I can't see the meter readings on my laptop on the AGL Account login, but I can see how the bill is progressing every time I log in, as well as the current balance. By checking every pension day, and paying in a small amount to cover current usage, I end up with a paper bill of $0.00, no large amount to scare the hell out of me.
