  1. Jerry this has been the best thread ever since you started speaking truth to prejudice.
  2. Several of my friends didn’t make it to 80 but I plan on doing better. Five pills a day for me at present.
  3. They have two farm properties about 100km apart and need to move machinery and trailer rams etc between them. They spend a lot of time on the road.
  4. Ben Hall was shot at least thirty times.
  5. Too much antisemitic nonsense here. Why accept the propaganda of inherently evil regimes?
  6. My daughter is looking for a big Yank ute. I told her to wait a couple of months and people will be giving them away.
  7. I am hoping the Facebook friend invitations from Desi Freeman will now stop.

  9. Tehran terrain from one direction, terrain Tehran from the other.
  10. It is not Pauline's pay boost.
  11. A friend who drives a big school bus found it is often empty or near empty, but the government contract does not allow a smaller bus nor to not run empty if there are no kids.
  12. I can't let that pass. You would have to be wholly ignorant of the last 40 years of history to think that Iran has not been a threat and an ongoing disrupter of western society, and the leading global sponsor of terrorism. I am very pleased that they have been interrupted in their quest for a nuclear weapon. To argue that the problem is the mullahs and not the people of Iran is a specious argument. Every society must take responsibility for what its leadership does and bear the consequences, as did Germany and Japan.
  13. Furious riding was a 19th century charge for horse riders. It lingered.
  14. When we were paying 17% on the home loan we did not eat out ever, didn’t go out for coffee, turned out the lights in empty rooms, and bought a second hand car. It wasn’t hard, we were just as happy.
  15. Tax is pad on profits, not gross sales revenue .
  16. Digging holes in the ground? Mining today is one of the most high tech activities in industry. Knowing where to dig, how to dig and doing it safely involves all sorts of expertise.

  18. The real problem with councils is the replacement of the shire engineer with ten unqualified administrators.
  19. I would pay people to finish all my half finished jobs, including vehicle projects.
  20. I have two friends who are a vigorous 90 and will be having lunch on Monday with someone who just turned 96. There is hope for all of us.
  21. If it was totally dark, how do you know it was the doctor blowing in your ear? What was the nurse like?
  22. The anti semitic movement in Australia is now so strong and widespread that many anti semites don’t even know that they are repeating drivel. People like Grace Tame were prominent in the the Nazi era in Germany and were allowed to speak their racist poison, until the trains began to roll.
  23. A Panther sloper was always on my wish list. I have a rigid 1936 Enfield but it does my back in.
  24. Abe Kozminsky, but the DNA result is dodgy. I think there is only a 10% chance or less that it was him.
