Gee thanks Jerry. Now I am going to have nightmares. As if I wasn't already paranoid enough.

tRump Cirus is in full swing....

Further about the revenge culture which half of americans are crying out for:

Below I borrowed from another forum. It quotes a survey by MyGov/The Economist. What I think it really shows is political fallout from a decaying culture in US. "Who are the Trump voters uneasy with the politics of punishment? Our analysis says they are more likely to be women and older voters, as well as those with higher levels of education and those who say they attend church regularly. Respondents who pay less attention to day-to-day politics are also more likely to recoil."

An interesting development, if it actually does happen. But one point mentioned might be cause angst for a lot of average punters:- If they can go back that far for this particular issue, can they also for other tax disagreements?

Looks to me like he has gilt on his head.

That name has too many syllables. Can we just use a single word-name? Maybe 'Gropefuhrer'?

Sure is. But that's the definition of a 'Gripe' So quit griping about it.

That's fair enough. I wouldn't be touching bats, live nor dead. But You would be the first person I know who is plagued by dead bats. Do you live in a belfry?

Sure bats are a issue. But at least they don't migrate across the world every year. I worry that avian virus importation from asian wet markets (& labs) is a high risk for major mortality in homo sapiens. My gripe is that DFAT isn't doing enough to stop these undesirable migrants.

Glass half full, OME? Look on the bright side.... at least mozzies can't get through your window mesh like those other little bugs.

If true, it would pose a orkward logistical load on Ukraine.

If he carks it, he'll make a potarse deal with Dog and come back for it.

I expect that the WA police are using standard gun laws to address dodgy gun ownership. At present, claims of soverign citizenship are not a recognised legal status, so I expect would be irrelevant.

I think Nev is suggesting that he incinerates spiders because they 'harbour a lot of diseases'. Bats (or birds) are another discussion.

Really? Got any links to peer reviewed studies on this?

I don't think outlawing sov citz is smart. It only helps them confirm their beliefs. Maybe if someone sets up a soverign citizen register, then they can be true to their belief. And we can cancel all priviliges that otherwise come to those who choose to live in accordance with accepted ground rules - such as laws of the country. Cancel all right to drive vehicles, access medicare and social security. If they are not able to provide their own alternative set of rules to live by, then they are regressing back to tribal anarchy which has always ended badly. It currently doesn't work too well in the middle east.

You still haven't told me where to buy these. (Not Wuhan)

The Tasmanian based 'Windeward' tall ship does a similar youth training programme. There should be more of it, most people haven't heard of it.

Intolerance will NOT be tolerated

OME, go to a pharmacy and get her some Aque mouth spray.

I'd never thought much about that old saying about "roaring 40s" before. But now I realised that 40 degrees south also = 40 kts. Which sure does roar through our trees. And I just re-read David Lewis's book 'Ice Bird' about sailing around antarctica. He tells me 50 degrees south = 50 kts.

Be careful what you wish for...... But I hope you get some gentle rain. We can easily spare it.
