    All power to the Anti Football League!
  4. I suggest reading “The moon is a harsh mistress “ by Heinlein in about 1960 on AI taking over politically. It could also do animated simulation of its persona on TV.
  5. I was just listening to the local radio. They said the bloke who wrote "summer of 69" was challenged as he was only 9 years old in 1969. He answered that "I never said it was about the year 69!"

  11. Where does the Federation drought fit in then? 1897 to 1903, by far the worst drought ever in eastern Australia.
  12. We lived in Tumut with the Ford Pilot. I agree that the real risk was winding muddy steep roads often with no barriers against a steep drop, and bridges built by the SMA with no sides. Slipping and sliding with badly adjusted mechanical brakes at the back. Sometimes towing a heavy home-made camping trailer.
  13. I can recommend the scallop pies on King Island. Seafood, they must be healthy.
  14. I survived a childhood in the back of a Ford Pilot, until dad bought the FB Holden.
  15. I am the permanent professional pie purchaser for our aero club. I only buy the Angus Beef and Pepper variety, 32 pies at a time fit in my cooler bag.
  16. I recall that the CSIRO has admitted that they have no expertise is estimating the cost of nuclear. They subcontracted the work to a consultant who also had no specific expertise, and who used juniors to Google the information needed for their estimate.
  17. So,which large projects are not subject to these three effects?
  18. You've been stitched up.
  19. I have seen baby Krakatoa smoking in the sea off Java.
  20. Are you calling me a lyre?
  21. Moderator: a substance (such as graphite) used for slowing neutrons in a nuclear reactor.
  22. I can see a damsel with a dulcimer sitting in there and entertaining a crowd of yokels.
