Same thing in Tassie. It's your choice as a customer. Option 1:- Go to a private hospital, Pay $400 entry fee, and get medical attention. If you are admitted, your health insurance should pay further costs but not the $400. If you don't have health insurance, brace yourself for subsequent bills. Option 2:- Go to a public hospital, Pay nothing, and sit in the queue in the entry hallway for an unknown (long) time before getting medical attention.

Since we are merrily drifting far from thread title, I ask.... Are those Ural bikes what Russia is presently using for motorbike invasion of Ukraine? I'm guessing the newer ones are built to a higher standard than the early ones?

Oh, great. Just what we need. Another big target on our backs.

I laughed at the suggestion that an average can be decided my a simple 52%. Totally agree the pass mark for legislation should be higher than 51%. Wouldn't work for the initial election but it would encourage realistic debate instead of party bullying. Anyway, back to sympathy. Is it morally acceptable to only have sympathy for some Americans, based on their (unknown) voting?

That light is probably the most useful part of a Cossac/Voshkod bike.

It's a big step to suggest ON is a 'main party'. So far, they seem more of a lingering fringe party. Sure, there is a possibility of it happening as protest votes get louder. The other parties don't show much desire to control their corruption, nor to get in touch with the electorate.

If you are going to knock it, show me a realistic better option.

I rather think that is because America didn't plan their logistics properly. They designed and sold a product they couldn't supply in a required timeframe. Also the Australian government didn't look ahead enough. And was silly enough to accept a trade-off deal of an obsolete product. When China takes over Taiwan, the only difference for us will be a likely rise in prices of prrmium silicon chips.

That's all negative, Nev. Clouds are beautiful...... so long as you are not trying to fly through them. -
Even when new they were not worth the asking price. No idea why they are collectable now.

In Sydney they were called Voskod. A 650cc was $650. So I bought a Yamaha for half that. It went faster, stopped better and went around corners faster.

In my opinion although many people go on about federal or state government corruption, it is local government (councils) that are by far the most corrupt level of government

Epstein's death and coverup are proof that Republicans and Democrats can work together..... if the price is right.

The purpose of a good joke, is to disturb the humorless, and humour the disturbed.

Too true. But somehow the world seems to think otherwise.

Wait up , didn't you say that last year, too?

Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)

Looks like we'll miss you. Driving to Brisvegas in June. Tonight, got a couple of fires going, music and cheap wine & better cheese. Maybe catch up next tine. -
Many a true word is spoken in jest.

Would you feel better about if they were wearing full PPE?

What the heck. Now you are drawing Trump and Twitter into it! But if the cap fits....

Just to bump this thread out of the shadows, because DJT keeps getting all the attention. I know that Ukraine has been catching up but hadn't noticed how big and constant their was is. How about Ukraine Taking out 4000 Russian drones.... in April alone! Meanwhile Putin's assistants say.... US Secretary of State Rubio congratulated Russians on Russia Day: he stated that the United States is committed to a peaceful resolution of the war in Ukraine.

WOW All so irritatingly polite. Have you turned to drink yet?

Am I missing something here, isn't GST basically a transaction tax for commoners? i.e. a way to exempt the big players from the transaction tax regime (GST) that's imposed on the financially captive public?

I had the same problem until I changed it to a male voice. Problem solved.
