  1. No surprise there. One of his big promises (trumpet promise = lies) was that he would fix their debt problem. If the rest of the world asks US to settle the debt, what happens? Bankruptcy? The orange clown has some experience with that kind of policy.
  2. The air quality improvement wasn't due to a virus. We got a similar result the week after the twin towers attack in US. Anyway, just you wait 'till the next pandemic! Or maybe we should ban all those nasty airplanes! (American aircraft) Or at least ban air travel by attendees to climate crisis conferences? They can all arrive by EV.
  3. It is clearly a book for the empowered woman. Of any era.
  4. I found it. Gutenberg Project has a free copy. Motoring has come a long way Even for males!
  5. Where can I get a copy for my wife?
  6. And that is what is driving the US administration. Our problem is more about keeping a safe distance from the unravelling disaster. Please, Albo, keep your head down, below the crazy americans view. Please ditch AUKUS. They are more a liability than a trustworthy ally.
  7. And dearest Leader DJT will that as meaning... "I better not lose my freedom & power NOW". He isn't in it for anybody but himself.
  8. Arrrgh! Sounds nearly as bad as TasMANIA. Anyone would have to be crazy to go near these aweful places!
  9. From what I read, there were possibly 10 shots, all AFTER an agent had taken the victim's gun from its holster. He was unarmed, pinned down by multiple agents. Posed no risk to anyone. He was licenced to carry the weapon under state law. He clearly only had a camera in his hand. This is bringing tRump's planned cancellation of midterm elections one step closer. Goodbye democracy.
  10. Aaah. 'Tis so humiliating when 'older & wiser' comes unstuck, whilst 'young and enthusiastic' is still upright!
  11. That might not have been just parochialism. What WERE you wearing?
  12. So, why do most of the second hand cars have over 300,000k on the clock?
  13. Pedantic... Semantic... Trapped ? Yeah, stay away you infidels.
  14. Marty & I are insulated from mainland Orrstraya
  15. So, they are rather useful. I just hope that the factories that refine these minerals are going to be careful with their byproduct waste.
  16. I thought that was called "gillette principle". Practically give you the handle, but you can only use their replacement blades.
  17. Anyway a bit of trivia - Those v12 motors have just stopped production in USA. The cost of specialised alloys has gone 'astronomical' due to recent tariffs. Locally produced alloys were not up to standard.
  18. I cannot get my head around a V12 outboard motor. It must take some serious engineering to make a transom strong enough to support it without ripping the back off the boat!
  19. Here's one for those who have experience in engine building. Did you know that there is an american production line that makes V12 motors.... for outboards?
  20. But it is the least likely place to be invaded by the mad mango mob. I'll take my chances.
  21. What better place for Madpete, eh?
  22. Is tazzie starting to look more appealing? Whilst the mainland expects 40 degrees, we might reach a more civilised heatwave of 30. We rarely need to turn on the heatpump. What's this boiler thing of which you lament? Sounds like it's as big a moneydrain as an extra child? Edit: Sorry. That's not much of a gripe. But it's the best I can manage in utopia
  23. Not as cultured as Stephen Fry, but is more funny.
  24. Priceless. I do understand the MC didn't like the profanity. But how else could the Danes deal with a bullyboy?
