  1. I know virtually nothing about military weapons. But I do know about blasting rock and have done my fair share of it when I was young. It is hard to understand how those bunker buster bombs could damage a deep underground facility. Quite a few times I have been a couple of hundred metres to the side from a blast a couple of tonnes of explosive at a depth of around 1000 metres below the surface. I put my fingers in my ears, and stood in a side tunnel, but was never in danger of being blown up. Nothing was damaged in the mine, other than the rock being broken where it was intended. This happens all the time in large mines with large stope blasts. So if the bombs did not penetrate the facility, the shock wave probably didn't destabilise the tunnels and galleries very much. If they had centrifuges or delicate machinery, then it could certainly have been wrecked. My point is that the tunnels and galleries can probably very easily be reinstated and are not actually destroyed.
  2. No, I am happy to believe whatever reinforces my political inclinations. Like just about everybody who posts here.
  3. He said he would decide within two weeks. Exactly what happened. A bit deceptive, exactly as intended.

  6. My bet - Albo will not speak to him at all. Or if he does, DJT will not be listening.

    B is wrong too unless there are alternate spellings for several of them that I haven’t seen This
  8. The latest news this morning is about corruption in Victoria and bikie/union penetration in to massively subsidised energy farm development. I tip that our premier Jacinta will be replaced by Labor before the coming election. They will still win, due to lack of an opposition.
  9. We once had a Prime Minister who figured out how to make money. He would get his mate, a publisher, to print something nasty about him. He would then sue the publisher but settle out of court, untraceable. What he was doing for the publisher in return we don't know.
  10. Many public companies have a crap record. But not as bad as politicians and governments.
  11. We stayed in Street (Glastonbury) in April and got down around Taunton on sightseeing drives. It was dry and sunny wh had travelled all that way to experience rain.
  12. Sounds like a scam to me. I get a lock down threat from time to time but ctrl.alt.del gets rid of it.

  19. I didn’t check tyre prices on line, just paid for the wheel. As the shop assistant said, saves having to change the tyre!
  20. Around here you can't buy a tyre for a ride on mower. You can buy a tube, or a complete wheel with bearings. I had to buy a wheel, for about $70.

    I love you, first of each line.
  22. There was a plan to use red mud to neutralise acid mine drainage from old dumps. But the regulators couldn’t get their heads around that idea.
  23. Where's your inner entrepreneur? Buy the lot and put them on eBay!
  24. Many bikes have twin Amals but no Juans.
