Just when I think the US can't get any worse, someone manages to show me another example of how networking works....

Birds of a feather?

I hadn't seen a picture of Clive for a long time; it looks like he's lost a fair bit of weight. It was Pauline's birthday yesterday and she was kind enough to let him have some of her birthday cake to fatten him up a bit.

If he'd used a Whirlpool machine, it would've worked even better! 😄

The woman is Cass Elliot, better known as Mama Cass. She died of a heart attack in her sleep, aged 32, in July 1974.

That's Cass Elliot of The Mama's and Papa's. Your answer is correcct.

Rock the Casbah? (I don't know the woman)

Yeah that would involve a working knowledge of electrickery.

Actually, now I think about it, he used a Fisher and Paykel smart machine. Something to do with the way he rewired it, he said was the reason for that model.

That's correct.

Technology is frustrating sometimes. With facebook messenger, if you are halfway through typing a message to someone and a message comes in from someone else, from that point on the text you are typing automatically goes to the other conversation. It's easy to send it to the wrong person if you're not careful.

He was on a spinner winner!

He might have had his nose in places it should not have been, but our Constitution would not have permitted Trump-like behaviour. That's why I say countries which operate under constitutions similar to ours are more democratic than the USA. I suppose the framers of the US Constitution did not want to have a kinglike head of State as that reeked of the British system. It is strange that so many of the US politicians degrees in Business Mangement, but are reluctant to monitor the operation of the Constitution for the purposes of improvement. It seems to me that they only make amendments in response to problematic incidents.

Worse than that. It was meant to be a text message.

I think Gina would like to donate them all a one way ticket to Siberia.

Total eclipse of the heart

Have they asked Gina or Clive?

I'd been wondering about that one. I thought it might have belonged to another thread.

Wondered where that went. The perils of technology and senility.

If you had that flow all the time Marty you could set up a hydro system. A few years ago I saw a homebuilt one on youtube that a bloke had made from a Hitachi washing machine.

The Federal Labor party is asking for donations to help them fight One Nation: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-25/labor-asking-for-donations-to-help-fight-one-nation/106712618

There are 3 lows coming at us (in the south). Unusual, they are close together and bode for some active weather.

Hey Marty, I'm bringing by kayak for a bit of whitewater fun!

The person pictured is Dan Akroyd in his Ghostbusters costume, That makes the puzzle dan, knee, glove, R, or Danny Glover, actor director, producer.

We got promised a huge strong cold front last night, but we only got 18mm in Perth City overnight, and a lot of the Wheatbelt and inland areas, got very little. It's been a very dry May. The BOM is promising another bigger and better cold front on Sunday and Monday. It remains to be seen if that one is a fizzer, too. The long range forecast is saying a wet June, and then a dry July and August, thanks to El Nino. In El Nino years we seem to get a cutoff in Spring rains here on the Left Coast.
