Good job a lot of us have the ability to work from home now.

The Low sulphur fuel would have been "nice to have" but when it's as it is Now, you just adapt. LPG cars don't dirty the Oil But acid does occur and copper Lead bearings will have the lead deplete. Alutin is better in LPG engines but still change the Oil especially if you do short trips. Water in the oil makes sulphuric acid. Water is produced from combustion of Hydrocarbons. Nev

PHON has a habit of imploding because they don't care how dodgy their candidates are. Their pick for Adelaide just got quietly removed as he has an arrest warrant in the UK...

Most Crude contains something like 10% Sulphur. There's Mountains of it piled up in a lot of Places near refineries. Overseas refining is a lower cost result than doing it Here and having Large reserves cost a Heap also and people don't want to have that extra cost.. The current reserves are Higher than they have been for a long while but are Below the recommended Amount. All reserves run out eventually if supply is below demand during WW2 Cars were put on Blocks for the duration. Nothing is guaranteed. That's the reality. Nev

No too much dust but I did have a set of Aircraft wings in there for a while. The Inner Sanctum is fully insulated and well sealed and would make a good Place for storing wine. Nev

He doesn't want allies, just sycophants and r slickers and MONEY. Nev

One of the People at the Men's shed has that very Plane. It is a bit different to the commonly seen Austers. It's flying . Nev

I'm still awaitin to hear OME complain about all this dam rain......

A cop pulled me over. He said, "Papers?" I said, "Scissors. I win."

Nothing wrong with bats, without them vast swathes of the country would lack many trees, they are our primary animal pollinators.

But he doesn't pay to play golf, in fact he gets paid for the rooms the secret service are forced to pay full price for. Such a greedy fuck

Interesting talk on Late Night Live about Pauline. I can't see how to get a link to it but if you go to ABC.net.au/listen and click on Radio National, it's one of the top picks.

The expression on Takaichi’s face and her uncomfortable shifting in her seat shows just how Trump’s unexpected and ignorant jibe landed. She was visibly shocked. He hasn’t got a clue of course. Then Eric Trump’s response on X; “One of the great responses to a reporter in history!” A true chip off the old block. The sooner they are all gone, the better.

I can remember back when they mandated the low suplhur diesel there was talk of older engines having some issues with things like injector pump seals leaking. The only diesel engine I had at the time was an old IH motor, late 60's vintage and I never had any problems with it.

Made to fail.. She's very Much Ahead of Herself. You need to VET your candidates Carefully or there will be no end of Pain.

Plonk Makers are doing it tough and Many will close up shop. For years the growers have been Paid below cost of production, like Coles 1$ for Milk The Grapegrowers try to grow More, Cheaper (like what happened in Griffith with McWilliams) and the quality drops consequently. More per Acre is inevitably a Lower Quality Product.. Nev

I filled up before the government lifted restrictions to allow us to use higer sulphur diesel, so I still have an almost full tank of the old low sulphur fuel. We normally export all the high sulphur fuel to countries that don't have as strict environmental rules as we have. $2.90 price of diesel today at our local servo. edit: I originally wrote $1.90 for today's price, it's $2.90.

Gina Says it's only DIRT before 'WE dig it up' and when Prices are LOW, we DIG up more. Trouble IS you can only dig up each bit ONCE and it's not really Gina's to sell. and all resources are finite. Mining has kept Australia in the Game but surely we could do this better. Rinehart is funding PHON and Why is Murdoch SO in love with Pauline.? There's never been anything but PRAISE for Her. Not one Probing Question. A steady Hand in todays troubled times is preferred to a superstar God Emperor and a functioning team has more resources. Just what is Hansons IQ and Education Back ground AND Who is she doing this for FOR? I'll bet London to a brick on It's NOT for US. Trump is her choice to Pattern her Politics on. What could Possibly be worse than that and if all that crazy collection of Failures and Misfits get along together. it would be a MIRACLE. Nev

I really feel sorry for the normal Americans (they're the ones who didn't vote for this idiot) having to see how cringe their president is.

Americans are just starting to wake up to the fact that Trumps erratic war planning has major implications for their ability to wage war. A West Point analyst has just written an article that points out the Straits of Hormuz blockage now reduces sulphur supplies to the U.S. by at least 20%. But no military planner or strategist in the current U.S. administration has even considered the part that sulphur plays in a major industrialised economy. Despite being a simple "waste" byproduct of oil refining, sulphur is a critical mineral required in substantial amounts for mineral and ores processing. Sulphuric acid is required for hundreds of industrial processes. Those industrial processes produce all the metals and chemicals - and even electronics - needed to produce military equipment. A shortage of sulphur means America cannot ramp up military weapons and equipment production, as Trump has ordered. That brings about a serious crunch in Americas ability to continue its military destruction in Iran - and elsewhere. In effect, they're burning up armaments and equipment 10 times faster than they can produce them - and that disruption in sulphur supply is not something they're going to be able to overcome quickly. https://mwi.westpoint.edu/the-chokepoint-we-missed-sulfur-hormuz-and-the-threats-to-military-readiness/

Take a holiday in North Queensland. It will blow you away. Nev

Happy days!

It's amongst a lot of other bikes in my "inner sanctum' where nothing rusts at the Moment. It was a No expenses spared restoration of an already running bike. I've owned it for ages. I've had 5 Norton 500 Ohv singles. They are a high quality thing. Nev

When a U.S. president is impeached, the House of Representatives has formally accused them of high crimes and misdemeanors via a simple majority vote, acting like a grand jury. The process then shifts to the Senate, which holds a trial to decide whether to remove the president from office. According to Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, a president can be impeached for "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors". This includes abuse of power, violating the public trust, or breaking criminal laws, though "high crimes and misdemeanors" is a broad term not limited to statutory crimes. So, he would have to be convicted, by the Senate, of something like a war crime. I doubt if the sort of crimes that you could call private crimes - fraud, sex offences etc., would be sufficient to remove a president on conviction. So, the kick Trump right out of the White House, the Dems would have to control both the House of Representatives and Senate, and convict him of something like abuse of power. Abuse of power by a president occurs when the executive uses their authority for improper personal, political, or improper gain, rather than the public good. Examples often include leveraging federal resources for political investigations, obstructing justice, or overstepping constitutional boundaries regarding war powers or executive orders.

What's Happening at the North of Australia Probably wont affect OME.Nev.

It stopped at 10:00 am yesterday. This morningI was able to do a load of washing and hang it out. It should be dry by lunchtime.

It Ain't over yet. We need REGIME change in the USA. How's The Orange U Tan going to rig the Mid-term Elections in November? Nev

DON''T MENTION THE WAR! That classic line from Fawlty Towers is definitely one that Trump has never heard. In answering a question during a meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister, Trump compared the secrecy of the attack on Iran with that of the Japanese on Pearl Harbour in 1941. He made things worse by saying that teh Japanese were better at secrecy than the US. Although you might not like the source of this link, it does give the facts of the incident. THis link was the first one I grabbed. https://www.skynews.com.au/world-news/global-affairs/donald-trump-draws-gasps-with-shocking-pearl-harbor-quip-in-front-of-japanese-pm-over-iran-surprise-attack/news-story/c04ab4a76828c2131067bb896d307727 One day the leader of an allied country is going to get insulted in the Oval Office and have the guts to stand up and walk out.

American intelligence boss saying “ it is not our job” when asked if Iran was an immediate threat to the USA, he must of picked the dumbest clowns on earth to run this shit show.

The buggerup is supposed to hit the Cape tomorrow as a cat 5, wind gusts up to 315 kph they are saying. They're tracking it to hit the east coast just north of Coen and the west coast just south of Aurukun.

l meant early days for EV's,all of it, they haven't even begun. Whatever we buy now will be a T model ford in 5yrs time. 300 500k, like l said, nothin! Self charging or God knows just round the corner, 1000s of k. Flying cars or God knows what any day too, China already is, Japan to. This whole thing , AI , all of it, cars, robots, crapola left and right has not even scratched the surface but the speed it will from here, l don't think most people have any fkg idea. l have a theory, right or wrong l don't giva shyt just sayin who bloody knows but everything they're rushing through right now and all your infrastructure, useless! Nothing will be even need it soon, it'll be all wrong for what's coming . Same with all the windfarms and solar stuff, l just worry about whether they're gonna take all that down later and restore the landscape bc it won't be long and we won't even need them.

Nev, do you have a photo of it?

Abe Kozminsky, but the DNA result is dodgy. I think there is only a 10% chance or less that it was him.

I believe it’s around $12-14m. Just loose change in his world.

What Cost is Incurred every time He Plays golf. . What does He pay his Caddy for his excellent services. . Donating a B 747 to Him doesn't help Much. It Goes into His "library' but HE doesn't read any Books. That's fairly Obvious. He's almost Illiterate. Nev

I think Lang had an Auster. I have seen it.

Mustering money and influence

It has been reported that it will take maybe five years to repair the damage done to the oil facilities in all of the Gulf countries. That's five years after the end of the 'everlasting war'.

$2.84 point 9 in Urunga yesterday. the orange twat must have some scam going on, buying low whilst every thing is f&$#ed up. he didn’t even know who the president was yesterday in a very incoherent press conference.

$2.80 in regional SA

Paid 269 for diesel today, ouch. That was in a regional town l was just passing through but never the less. On the war, me's still predicting a total shyt show yet to come. Rump know not what he do, no bloody idea.

HE doesn't LIVE in the REAL World. We can be sure of that. Nev

It was reported that his briefers about the upcoming war in Iran talked about an ‘incursion’ into the country, but Trump heard ‘excursion’, and nobody has dared to tell him that they weren’t talking about a picnic or a trip to the beach.
