WE Bathe in the reflected glory of OUR athletes while we grow fatter and eat More Processed food and alcohol and hardly ever even Walk anywhere. Nev

All they want is a Headline. Media is interested in getting THEIR VIEWS in the Public gaze. ALL Newspapers are Owned by RICH people and Historically not many (if any) of them are very NICE People. They FAIL their Public Duty. Nev

It must be a bit hard for a reported to get the opportunity to ask a Prime Minister a question during one of these opportunities. Why waste the chance by asking something so inane that experience would tell you that the politician is not going to answer. In the current situation of confrontations with politicians, I would have thought the reporter should have been more concerned with what acrtions ar being taken to protect politicians (of all sides) from them. First and foremost, these attacks are being made upon people being present to carry out a job that the community has given them to do. It also seem that our male law makers are prone to mysogeny based on what our female politicians are saying.

The Australian Jillaroos defeated England 78–0 in their Women's Rugby League World Cup Pool A match at HBF Park in Perth on October 24, 2026. Did the Lionesess take to the field? A team wouldn't cross the try line that often during training.

I wtch a lot of English renovation videos and it strikes me that these houses suffer badly from moisture. Mould seems to be rampant. I don't think that their drainage systems work too well. It seems also that when their woodwork gets wet, the wood worm moves in to eat it out. Just as bad as out termites, in those areas where we have them. I suppose that using the same wood that the worms evolve with doesn't prevent attack. The other thing that astounds me is the plumbing. There's plumbing for getting water to washing bathrooms, kitchens and laundries, but also for providing heating using fluid radiators. These places seem to have nearly as much pipework as an oil refinery. Then there is the way they handle waste water and sewage. It all seems so primitive to me. I will say, however, they they have some really interesting tools and materials. I can't get over the fact that they will install plasterboard and then apply coats of plaswter render. And why would you render over brick work? All that does is prevent the brickwork from breathing. And I hate pebble dash. Jerry, the sooner you can get back here to a nice brick veneer four-bedroom single storey place, with reverse cycle heating/cooling, plasterboard-lined internal stud walls and tiled roof, the better.

I was talking about our Middle Eastern organisations. You don;'t hear much about teh Cosa Nostra these days. At 6:00 am the sky was clear. By 7:00 am it was 9/9 overcast and windy. By 9:00am it was broken low level cloud and still windy. I decided to risk doing my weekluy laundry, since I figured that the wind would speed drying. The wind seemed to die down mid-morning and the cloud broke up. Now at midday it's 9/9 overcast and the wind is picking up. At this stage I still don't think that the clouds look like producing any rain. The forecast is for thunderstorms across the centre of the State, but I don't hold out much hope. I'll update this evening.

I believe it was about some of her Policies and it wasn't to bully . The whole thing is a beat up. Just another attempt at making Albanese look bad by a Press ( Murdoch, most of all)which will stoop at Nothing to Politicise a tragedy that should appall ALL of us. Nev

Pushbikes aren't allowed on freeways.They are a rather dangerous thing to be on, on any trafficked road. Nev

Good luck to you but its a venture I would never take on for the reasons I've Mentioned. All things Degrade. Those old buildings would be Hard to Make comfortable and have Natural light and effective Heating and cooling.. It's a free world to make such choices and you are very public with it so I comment. There has probably been a total of about 400 posts so far. Nev

Hip hjp Hooray. Nev

How do you Know that? Mafia Staff Cars ARE big black Limo's. Are you getting any Rain yet? My place is absolutely drenched. Nev

I'm in contact with quit a few who live there whose opinion I value. . Plenty of people who live there don't know what is going on either. It's a big Place with More than 13X our population. I don't trust OUR Foreign-Owned biased Media for any FACTS at ALL. More's the Pity. Nev

I wonder if it was because it did not pass the vehicle standards that have to be met by all vehicles. I think the vehicle was banned in the UK for such failures. Anyway, our crime bosses prefer Italian sports cars.

Correct!

It is a lovely property.. but far more neglected than surveys uncovered. For instance the cottage has underfloor wet heating and we had a couple move in for a couple of months. Out of the blue, the u/floor heating shorted and three new manifolds later (and a few hundred pounds) it was fixed. It is the constant tending to things you're not expecting that wears us down

Another vanity symbol kicked in the nutz!

Progress! Wish I lived closer so I could snoop around your project. All that history, all those different tradeskills, and design changes as the building evolved.

I don't block it from my mind to pretend the problems aren't there..It's more I need the break from it. Often it is waiting for tradespeople who are not rip off merchants to come available. I have two tradies full time on it and they are very reasonable in their rates. Even so, it is costing me about £7k a month. We are probably two months from completion I think. Then the big clean up.

Paradise by the dashboard light - Meatloaf.

Not quite.

Paradise by dawn light?

Yay

Slightly different depending on road width. They have the right to do it but for a wide enough road they are being discourteous by doing it where they could easily ride single file to allow cars to safely pass... without interrupting their progress. Where the road isn't wide enough (often around here) it's a pain but just part of driving.

With the modern day 24 hour news cycle, mud doesn't stick like it used to. The pollies are lucky we have a voting population with ADHD.
