  1. I’ve never heard or seen 99% of the characters that have appeared in this thread.
  2. Have a scone with that.
  3. Rain Lover was a horse.
  4. I enjoy Inspector Morse. Takes me back to 1990 when I was more capable of getting things done. No internet or smart phones.
  5. Evaporative coolers don't waste water, they put it to a very good use. In low humidity they are much more electrically efficient than refrig types. Leaving the tap on while cleaning your teeth waters water.
  6. I have seen villages in India and Burma where one entrepreneur puts up two panels and a battery. Then people pay to come and charge up their phones.
  7. Oh my hat!
  8. It is ironic that those fancy new batteries (and the older ones) are made from materials that have to be mined in vast quantities, often in countries with poor environmental standards. The Greens have flexed their principles to suit.

  14. Saltbush fed mutton is very tasty. Those animals are fairly lean.

  16. That must have been a fast horse and cart!
  17. Civilisation never commenced in WA.
  18. We had 66 mm overnight.
  19. Extent of winter sea ice in the Arctic has been stable for the last 20 years.
  20. My wife's new Corolla Cross Hybrid has automatic parking. You park beside the space then press a button. But she found out you first have to tell it whether you are doing parallel parking or nose- in, and whether to the left or the right. She pressed the button and instead of backing and turning, it shot across the street at right angles. I was in the passenger seat, the stain will come out eventually.
  21. It’s a Swiss Army watch
  22. “there is going to be a multidimensional energy system in the future, [and] oil and gas will continue to have an important role in stabilising that system for a long, long, long time to come” Shell CEO Wael Sawan.
  23. I was looking for a mens loo but all they had was ambulatory, unisex and disabled.
