I'm with you OME. I just bought some plain t shirts from Just Jeans. Even there I had to look for them.

I think Nancy's astrologist was actually the power behind the throne

Hangar doors aren't big enough. Move the house to one side.

No, he was the president in between the two worst presidents ever.

9 days now with no Internet. Bloody NBN. Their planning and execution of a fixed wireless tower upgrade is similar in effectiveness and timeliness to Putin's Ukraine expedition.

You may have problems if you managed to swallow an avocado pip.

It's not about penalizing kids, it's about forcing the tech companies to do their due diligence.

Time to sell, move into luxury rental and have plenty of money for the rest of your life.

Google says the Babylonians used 7 day weeks because they noted it took 7 days for each phase of the moon.

A colleague in Adelaide was boasting of his cherry haul from a tree in his back yard. Subsequently he was late to a meeting due to overindulgence-related diarrhea.

Whenever I see "Epshteyn" I think they're trying to say Jeffrey Epstein, but are too pissed.

The car part that's almost extinct - just 8% of new models have it

There's nothing so dangerous as a male P plater. I told my son the other day - "You're getting more confident, which is great, but next year you will get overconfident. You have to be aware of this and remember that you're controlling a ton and a half of steel which can kill you and others." Your story reminds me of something that happened to me when I was 17. Driving back from a friend's place in the country after an evening of shooting. I was speeding on a dirt road when another car came around the corner. I spun the wheel towards the side of the road, remember going into a slide, his nose went past and I spun back the other way, my nose went in his lane just after his tail went past. Somehow I got out of the skid and kept driving. Blind luck is all it was, certainly not skill, but I'll never forget that incident and the thought that I wasn't immortal after all. -

My son is on his L's, in fact he drove to school today. I did have to tell him to slow down a couple of times because the Taroona road was wet and very twisty. The log requires you to enter road type, road conditions, traffic level, weather conditions etc. I'm not sure if they check these and require more lessons if 90% is highway driving in fine weather. -
Ok, I'll be kinder, replace "stupid" with your choice of "confused", "misled", "apathetic", "fooled", "uncaring" etc. The point is that when you look at his statements and "policies" with an objective lens, they will either not achieve the desired outcome or will actually achieve the opposite. Add to this the proven 30,000 lies he told in his first presidency, his felony conviction and all the other charges, his terrible behavior to women, his multiple bankruptcies, the close relationship he has with white supremacists and other nutjobs, his admiration for dictators, and his handling of the pandemic which resulted in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths. So to give him your vote means that either you know all that and still approve of him, which says something about your own character, or you don't know it, which means you're ignorant, or you don't believe it, which means you're a tin-foil hat wearer, or you accept it all but still think somehow he's better than Kamala, which leads back to stupid, or you're not interested in all of it but think he'll be better for your own bottom line, which makes you either apathetic, misled or uncaring. It appals me that over 70 million people fit those categories but I have a hard time thinking of any other explanation.

Very clever.

It's not that ranga who did a current affairs program... Can't remember his name?

Let's hope the mission is not impossible.

I don't actually agree with that. You may be correct that Trump is a symptom, but the fact remains that he will NOT make anyone's life better in any way, unless they're a dictator or a billionaire. So voting him in as some sort of protest or anti government stance is still pointless and stupid.
-
Yeah I found myself in the very uncomfortable position of agreeing with both Keith Pitt and Matt Canavan on something, usually you can rely on the truth being the opposite of whatever they're saying.

The downside of that is that many people living under oppressive/authoritarian regimes depend on anonymity just to get news of the outside world or organise to bring about change.

Not in US movies. It's only in French or Italian movies that the actors have genitals.

I didn't see you do a single squat when you were making me a coffee the other day. Is it only for non-visitor jug boilings?

What's the definition of a virgin? A girl who can outrun her brothers... But seriously there are a lot of young mothers and I used to work with a 38yo grandmother. Not sure if it's more prevalent here than elsewhere.
