    Was that a subtle parting political comment?

    I reckon Guyra is the coldest place I've been. It used to be common for trucks to slide off the highway there - due to black ice.

    If we pass the new donation limiting legislation in Australia, we will simply push the hidden money away to something like the USA super PAC. An arms length money system that is outside the legislation.

    Are you referring to the inrush of candidates taking up key positions around DJT.

    Sales of new outboard motors must all be 4 stroke. Oily residue in the water is not such a problem as all the old 2 stroke wear out and get replaced with 4 strokes.

    I do a lot of touch typing. Everything I type is a result of touching...... between FFS and poor near vision, I touch a lot of wrong keys.

    More likely by then a pine box might be appropriate after the stress of 4 years in the top job combined with 4 years of his alleged eating habits.

    Thank heavens, at least that's one place that we don't have to re-name.

    We get regular sessions of drizzle at this time of year. Yeah, the grass grows. But constant mowing keeps it neat. Our furry autonomous mowers are great! The best thing about moving down here from Qld is that some years the grass gets so out of hand I have to get the ride-on out twice! In a year! It used to be twice in a week.

    How could anybody fact check this assertion?

    Philosophy it not a word that comes to mind. Call me a cynic, but I expect the dynamic duo to agree that government and prosecuters must heep their hands off a select few.

    I disagree. I can see DJT putting heavy tariffs on everything chinese except his BFF mates imports. (BFF in this case means 'Best Friend Fortheweek)

    I think Red means 'bad jokes'

    How do YOU know this? More importantly how did you get the beggars to drink it?

    Hey everyone. Xmas is just around the corner. The annual Qantas flight QF1330 went over my place this morning. It must set some record for the most expensive and tedious 12 hour joyflight from Melbourne to, all the way to ....... Melbourne. If there is enough demand they might offer QF1330 again on New Years Eve. If 360 people have this kind of cash to spare (up to $8k per seat) there is no cost of living crisis. Thank you Albo.

    Hey! I resemble that! Are you trying to start a fight?

    Curious. The google pic seems to show two previous bridge pathways. Maybe the collapse was a complete coincidence related to our discussion about government project incompetances?

    It's great to see there are still nice people around. She probably thought she was just helping one old bloke. Never realising she made half a dozen others feel good all day at the same time.

    Not all my experience involved curious decisionmaking. Some was just corporate inexperience (I hope). One engineer got a company award for 'on time on budget' while we ground dwellers were still frantically trying to iron out the bugs to get it all working. Then he took his wife on a trip around the world on the frequent flyer points he got from comany funded travel. That was a $5 million comms project that used cutting edge unproved wonder electronics. For a GOC.

    I often wondered. There were some suspicious free trips to europe for 'product training' by engineers connected with the product selection - operational techs didn’t get invited.

    Did I hear that USA will be starting to burn the witches (and other democrats) next year? At the weekly book burning conventions.

    Humerous is on the end of my elbow.

    Where else could I put this news item ..... "UFOs Latest Pentagon report reveals hundreds of new UFO sightings" Even the aliens are leaving town. I'm going to watch 'Men In Black' tonight to get the facts.
  24. nomadpete
    Fear? I fear running out of popcorn. There will be a lot to watch next year. Or should I wait for the books to come out?
  25. nomadpete
    Really? Proof please. I haven't seen enough examples to make it an axiom.
