Hope he didnt have a bingle on that bike.

Six white boomers are no longer allowed on the radio. And kangaroos are no longer tied down.

I think the Jap story was in a book You'll die in Singapore.

It annoys me when people write I lead the cow rather than I led the cow when it is past tense.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Loved that song as sung by Joan Baez.

I watch a lot of Youtube but not the AI stuff. Currently watching Engel's coach shop, the Armour museum in Cairns, and the BBC Trump report. I have found that they all get stale after a while. I have given up on the flying ones except for Blancolirio on accidents and Trecanair Flying for Fun, which is about maintaining and flying old homebuilts in Cornwall.

Our current home has doubled in value (at least) since we bought it nine years ago. We are in a very small rural town, you could call it a hamlet, and I can see no reason for that sort of increase. Fortunately, all our five kids are now approaching or past 50 years old and have paid off their hex debts and most of their house costs, but the grandkids are entering a very different world.

Does anyone remember Claude Eustace Teale, the dopey policeman who Simon Templar was always outsmarting?

Mean is the average. Median is halfway down the list between the highest and the lowest.

Oh baby, baby it's a wild world

In October 2024 Anthony Albanese bought a $4.3 million clifftop property at Copacabana on the NSW Central Coast. The main access road to the area is Avoca Drive. Back in January 2023 Albanese had personally announced 70 million dollars in federal funding for upgrades to Avoca Drive on top of the 30 million Labor had already promised during the 2022 election campaign. The federal contribution totalled 100 million dollars with NSW adding another 30 million on top of that. Senator Gerard Rennick moved Senate motions demanding the business case and the correspondence behind the decision. The government confirmed the Commonwealth had produced no federal business case of its own and had relied entirely on NSW assessments. When the Senate asked for the correspondence between the federal and NSW governments Infrastructure Minister Catherine King refused to release it citing Commonwealth state relations concerns. One hundred million dollars for a road on the Central Coast with no federal business case and the paperwork hidden from the Senate. But no money to finish the freight backbone of the country.

This is the worst period of government I can remember in my lifetime. Perhaps except the Whitlam years. The ideology is to take from us all and redistribute to those who the Government sees as deserving. For which, read labor voters.
