She's a good operator. It will be a truly damning indictment of the American people if they choose that lying criminal clown over her.

My CPAP machine has a 3G modem. Mind you the service here is shite anyway so I just bluetooth it to an app on the phone. Already got a message from Phillips saying to just rip the modem out if it produces an error.

HaPPily.

He's known to hold a hose, or in his case, a straw.

As a Cadet I hope. Or crash test dummy.

With respect... when buying a car? I've bought cars at auction where the only thing said to you is "sold" and you pay your money to an unsmiling clerk in the office. What mattered to me with those sales is that I got the car for $5k less than a dealer would sell it to me, not that I got a bit of false cameraderie and a cup of tea.

Something tells me that photo is heavily shopped. The truck is going in the opposite direction to a car on the same side of the barrier What language are the road signs in? Look closely at the cars on the other side of the road (travelling in the same direction as the truck) - there's some weird things happening with them The far side of the road seems to stop just behind the middle sign Road itself and shadows under the truck are stylised, not realistic The truck has 4 exhaust pipes, the front 2 going in different directions The "american" flag on the top of the truck seems to have stripes above the stars as well as below (and more foreign writing)

Gotta say, I have limited sympathy for anyone who goes to a Trump rally.

Probably deliberate, given that people start leaving his shindigs when he arrives.

Not sure how that has anything to do with the quality of the car. You don't buy a car for a free cup of coffee.

FAT (no offence)

Remind me to politely refuse any dinner invitation Spacey.

I wandered around our property after dinner this evening with a glass of wine, enjoying the mild spring weather. Peaceful, beautiful, even the purple flowers growing in the septic overflow look happy. Our dogs ran happily around, trying to catch turbo chooks (fat chance!) and it made me think how lucky I am to live here.

It would have been someone of note.

Imagine being stuck in a space ship for 6 months with Elon Musk,only to realise you still have to live with him in a small habitat for the rest of your life when you get there. Hell!

This morning I saw an EV with Tas government plates, which is good - means they'll be available 2nd hand soon.

Still think Nomadpete's idea of a transaction tax is the best idea.

The government is now asking why Tim Tams are more expensive here than in the UK.

At the risk of not letting anyone else have a go... B

B, he's an alliterative aficionado.

Here's one from Radio National this morning. Jane is walking in a train tunnel. She is a quarter of the way through the tunnel when she hears the horn of a train behind her. If she runs either forward to the far end, or back to the start of the tunnel, at her top speed of 20km/h, she will avoid the train. How fast is the train going?
