All Activity

Today is the big day. I have been to the Cochlear Support Centre and received the external sound processor, which is now turned on. It sounds completely different to what I expected, although I knew it sounded different to what I have been hearing. For example, the ticking of a digital clock sounds like someone tapping a metal pipe with a small spanner. I now have a couple of months for my brain to learn to deal with sound frequencies it hasn't received in years, and for the device to be calibrated to my hearing.

I have sent OneTrack an email and am awaiting a reply.

Abott did that and the way he constructed the Funding was illegal. Can't have People Pointing out real concerns about Pauine can we GON ? 3 to 1' agreed with the "Sook" as you Label him. As more gets know about the way Hanson runs things there will be Many More who wake up to the threat she poses to Democracy. HER show is run and structured as a Business and Only She and James Ashby control it.. No one else has any say, and she's not by any Means POOR and has no concern for people who are. Nev

There's some real $#!t wine around today. Winegrape growers are doing it tough. It's NOT Their fault. Wineries have been lowering the Prices they will Pay for grapes constantly. Like COLES with their 1$ a litre for Milk. ALL wineries buy grapes from growers but under conditions that VERY MUCH favour the Wineries. All that added stuff is adulteration pure and simple. NO decent supplier would be Part of it. There was a time when Australian wine was the envy of the World.. Early Picked grapes are more acid. It will give you a gut ache. Poorly balanced grapes will include half green ones which will have a sour taste Don't buy anything with a "Whacko" label on it. Some previously well know regions have become too hot to grow good grapes. Extreme weather can ruin all of a crop for anything but Making spirits (Brandy). which would be Priced at probably less than the cost of picking the grapes. It's a bad idea to leave them to rot on the vines. Nev

More proof the the idiot has totally lost his marbles - as if any was necessary. He posted on Truth Social that there is no Biden. Biden was assassinated n 2020, and for four years America was run by lookalike clones and robots.

Malcontents and Misfits. Everything's BAD but We can fix it all. The Red Witch and James Ashby make all the decisions. Gina is frequently "consulted" so that her instructions are clear.. Poorlean is doing OK. Check her Personal wealth. Nev

Trumps agents will GET you, Pete. Nev

How can we expect our politicians to make laws if they don't know how justice is administered. One Nation candidates are not politicians. They are rabble rousers.

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.
