    Peter, there is not much point in posting FB links, as it seems that only FB account holders can view them. I ditched my Facebook account years ago when I had a banking risk related with them..
  2. In fact I suspected that originally SGIO was the Qld equivalent to Commonwealth bank - at least common to Qld wealth.
  3. Willie, you have one in Twba and a full service branch @ Gatton. Everything is online now.
  4. I thought it was SGIO? Or am I confuddling it.
  5. Can anyone recall what Suncorp was called before it became suncorp?
  6. Thats why it is so much fun. And even without Targa, there are lots of wannabe rally drivers. Just try driving to the conditions and soon there will be a boy racer on your back bumper, or passing you on blind corners - no wonder they have to repaint the double lines every year, they get so much tyre wear.
  7. If only.... If only our immigration department was worldly wise enough to research such details prior to processing permanancy of migrants.

    Brain Teaser

    Are they the only ones left?
  9. Maybe ex pres Mr T went to the same school of economics as messers bond and skase?
  10. They did back down, but that was quite a while ago and several things have changed - NK now has a different top man, and NK is now armed with nuclear weapons. And I hazard a guess NK is not so easily bluffed now.
  11. I wont buy them again. Only the first one workd. The rest were duds.
  12. Narrow minds dont see the insignificance of their own existence.
  13. At last we now have some rain forecast. Would you believe 0.02mm and 0.01mm is expected next week? I can probably sweat more than that!
  14. Wet? WTF is wet? Last night our firies went for a drive through some nearby forestry that was burnt out back in '19. We saw that thousands of acres have been replanted and now are dense young blue gum forest. The ground fuel load is higher than it was back in '19. it is so dry that most dams are dry. The ground is dry, subsoil moisture is lacking, relative humidity is low. All is a tinderbox. We are just hoping that there are no sparks until the rainy season starts. But that is still months away.
  15. I feel that the vacuum left behind Pootin's death, will be a very worrying time. For all the shortcomings of our democracy, we always have a replacement waiting in the wings. Who or what will replace Pootin when his time comes, as it will inevitably must?
  16. And how long has North Korea been like that? Don't expect anything to change for the better, for at least a century.
  17. Nev, refer back to this post regarding12 shots, etc
  18. When hubby left the country with 12 million in his pocket, wife has a big motive. If it was the Kremlin's work it wouldn't take 12 shots and the run over to make sure. Kremlin only need a cup of tea to do it.
  19. My wife reckons it couldn't have been the Russians. The poor bugger's wife tracked him down. The Russians wouldn't waste 12 rounds on him but his wife might.
  20. Ex-wives are almost always portrayed a evil immoral bitches. So to me that lends credibility to the stories of her existence.
  21. Yes, I am especially curious about what has changed to account for the sudden Ukrainian successes. I guess I'm not alone.
  22. I think we are famous for our "wide brown land". If it isn't brown with dead grass and dust, it's brown with floodwater.
  23. Still no corroboration? Surely by now the Russians have noticed half a dozen aircraft are late home?
  24. Would be a tough job for the unfortunate coppers. I reckon not a lot of letters to politicians would be friendly
  25. Out dog! Out Kerr!
