Hobart, or Launceston? For some reason I thought the marine biology course is up north. May be mistaken.

There's real quality TV coming from European countries. Money Heist, Wrong Side of the Tracks, and now Billionaires Bunker, all great shows from Spain. Yes you have to read the subtitles (well some of you multi-lingual geniuses probably don't) but the quality is high

Nah, they'll call on @onetrack first. He gets the difficult ones.

Cat Stevens.

I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden

But they don't. The Republican party have comprehensively proven that they have no brain at all, and the Democrats are a well-meaning but ineffectual mess.

Jaysus. You seem fairly senior in your job... Ever thought of negotiating a work from home deal where you only go in once a month or so? 6 hours a day commute is ridiculous.

Bachelor party

Pretty sure ABC has almost the whole country covered, and if you can get data on your phone you can listen to whatever station you want.

If you're listening to a radio personality who's suggesting we become the 51st state, I'd suggest you change the channel.

He certainly puts the "dick" in "dictator". Or he would, if Poo Tin would let him

He's officially mentally ill. Hopefully it's terminal, and quickly.

Anything in a freezer should be ok for 30 hours without power, especially if you don't open it. Was it all in your fridge?

You forgot the "because". "Because Jerry is our most qualified and trusted IT/coder/computing expert, he is not an Apple adopter." Makes sense that way! 😜

Here comes the rain again by the Eurythmics.

I know you're a great driver Peter, you wouldn't be able to make it out of your driveway if you weren't!

You can get cheaper phones than that Peter. My daughter just got her first one - under $200. Probably not a recognized brand - HCM or something - but standard android and not much different to Samsung.

The ABC, Peter. And with the application of common sense, the Guardian.

While we've been concentrating on the orange bull in the diplomatic china shop, there's another rabid right-winger causing havoc in the UK. Despite being the English equivalent of Pauline Hanson, and being a major force in Brexit which the majority of poms now feel some regret for, this idiot is polling high enough for the words "possible future prime minister" to be muttered adjacent to his name. There have been several articles recently about people's recollections of him at school, which he is attempting to deny, obfuscate and minimize. This is one ... Have a read and tell me whether this sounds like a suitable leader of old Blighty. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/25/dont-believe-nigel-farage-denials-targeted-me-for-being-jewish-and-it-hurt

Must be fake news. The Trump family has raked in hundreds of millions during his reign.

Good weather will come Jerry!

...and his own VP, who had previously (and correctly) referred to him as an"idiot" and "America's Hitler"

Had a great ride today, over to Richmond, through to Sorell, then up the Tasman Highway to Orford on the East Coast. Interesting names along that road. I went over the Bust-me-gall and Break-me-neck passes, fortunately doing neither, then up Black Charlie's Opening without even buying him dinner first. On the way back I came via Midway Point and while passing the end of the runway at Hobart Airport, saw a C-17 parked on the tarmac so rode in for a closer look. Very enjoyable!

Putin must be shaking his head in disbelief at how gullible Trump is. What a tragic joke of history that both the USA and Russia have criminal, terrible leaders at the same time.
