    I thought you just had to lift it up and turn it a bit to the left?

    Nah. If I ask him the time, he'll spend all afternoon telling me the world history of timekeeping

    Phew! That was the logest winded diatribe ever seen on it. As our resuden grammar policeperson, you might have said.... "Daylight saving starts today (in some states)" !

    That one is in the committee designers handbook.

    Careful, old mate. 'Tis most unwise to get a swelled head before the job is complete..... That said, now you know the supreme satisfaction of creating your own living space!

    Wots a coin?

    Blah. What with all that this wide brown land has to offer, our compatriot only wants to come home to get a chocolate coated biscuit made by a foreign company. And which can be obtained where he presently lives. (Sigh)

    I can't agree with your hypothesis. For instance, post WW2, Japan built a massive motor vehicle industry - and it wasn't built on the back of a massive home market. With our country so flush with raw materials, why aren't we manufacturing for the world market? As a spinoff, we would have more affordable products on our shelves, and more productive employment.

    You really don't want that tarp to blow off the Harley, do ya?

    Where did WE go wrong? Isn't that what should have happened here in the last 200 years?

    You shower with a friend to save water? Call me rough, but my first thought was to whip out my leatherman blade and announce..."Mate, we can do this the quick way or the slow way"

    A nickel for your thoughts, OME?

    Now that's a smoking ceremony I object to.

    The plastic seat tends to crack in the middle. The crack is not easily seen but when weight is applied, the seat spreads and the crack opens enough for things to drop through. When the weight is removed (he tries to stand), the seat springs back, closing the crack. Ouch. I still don't understand why they called the Fire Brigade.

    My gripe about the above....... All good in theory, but peace turns to shit as soon as religions raise their ugly head in politics.

    Not terrorism in the usual physical sense, but very concerning anyway.
  19. nomadpete
    The terrorim I think they are soft on is the data mining carried out for possible political influence by (mainly) CCP. The depth of that was mentioned in Guardian and ABC.

    Here's a random thing, just in case you thought such events don't really happen....... Today I got paged to a Fire Brigade callout. " [location] - RESCUE, TECHNICAL. ELDERCARE, [address xxxx] 77 YO MALE TRAPPED IN SHOWER CHAIR BY TESTICLES" I really realy sympathise - this unfortunate bloke, cold, wet, naked, and surrounded by giggling staff while they wait for the fire brigade to arrive. With ladders and hoses. In the words of SFM... "I don't hold the hose..."

    You'll have to ask someone who has had the experience. That presupposes an afterlife. Which there isn't. If there really is a life after death I'd read about it in the Tripadvisor Reviews.

    A Banana Republic doesn't need leadership qualities in the head of state

    Good to see war confined to 'Gripes where it belongs'. I can't stop hoping that Iran's supply of Shahaed (sp?) Drones to Putin might be disrupted by the Israelis. Otherwise, the whole show highlights the desperate need for people to stop using religion as an excuse to attack others. Will somebody remind all sides 'There are no winners in wars, only losers'

    I came over to this thread because the other one got me depressed. Constant Arab wars, Russia starting ww3, and now chocolate prices going up..... C'mon guys. Find me a glimmer of hope in the world. Now, where did I leave my last block of chocolate....

    Arnotts are owned by KKR headquarterd in New York), a mob with similar credentials to Black Rock. All hail globalisation. I'm still waiting for the trickle down of wealth.
