    Seems that little credit was ever given to the merchant marines. Yet they were serving in the same wars as 'servicemen'. And doing it on unarmed, slower vessels. My uncle served in merchant marine in both big wars as a radio operator. Never sunk but was attacked. I still have an old hand drawn map of a course in the Med, with notes of sightings of subs that were stalking them but torpedoes missing them.

    For all those who have had chips stolen by seagulls...... You have been warned! (A sign at cafe in Hyde Park Sydney)

    Aha! So the USofA has proved it can reverse the T rump isolationist policy! (Way back when it got threatened by a world war)

    Posted our votes in yesterday. I made sure of my preferences by voting Under The Line - as I have strong political opinions.

    A.I. = Assorted Intelligence. Have we created an automated version of Average (Human) Intelligence?

    That isn't a problem if you get your GP to issue an Escript. This comes to your phone. It is also sent to a gov website that the pharmacist can access (with your permission). The paper system is planned to be phased out in coming years.

    Is it my imagination or has t rump gone quiet? His constant crowing seems a bit muted lately. A muted trumpet

    Sorry Nev, nothing personal. I confess that there are (regional) parts that I do enjoy. But I moved to Tassie to get away from urban sprawl and congested roads. Such as our big east coast cities have all developed.

    Thankefor the update, Litey. I was wondering how poor old Zorro was getting on after you displaced him to redo the decking.

    Sorry, I am biased. To me Vic is just something I drive through on my way to proper Mainland Australia.

    The great thing about 3hrs out of Melbourne, is that gets you out of Victoria!

    Well Jerry, I don't think you'll get tucker like that if you come back and live in a big city.

    It's all greek to me.

    Strong roots.... doesn'tmake it good.... like the weeds in my garden.

    Which raises a random thought (sorry folks)..... What is synthetic oil made from? How do they sysnthesise that ancient black sludgy stuff that used to come from deep subterranean cavities? Is it a more environmentally nice process?

    Oils sure aint oils, Ollie!

    I like that thought. You can't buy a better seat in heaven. "Y' come into this world with nothing, y' go out with nothing.... whattya lost? Nothing!" (Life of Brian?)

    That is unlikely to go very far. DJT pretty much has a friendly DOJ & supreme court.

    He didn't ask A.I. how this car would look if it was made in USA without materials that trump has tariffed out of availability.
  20. nomadpete
    Of course. I was only jesting. I am surprised that car makers (well, piston engined cars) persist in having a coolant temperature gauge, when with modern technology it should be a simple matter to monitor oil temp. As well as actual oil pressure.

    What's a album? A long time ago we had a family album - it had a cover.

    Can't you just pull the wire off the sensor?
  24. nomadpete
    They couldn't use that one - it wouldn't hold the weight of those two!

    Still nothing more than old man Bjelke Petersen "Feeding the chooks" As usual the only cert for a win in the election is....... The Merdoks !
