The beggars down here tend to sit quietly with a handwritten sign asking for money. Maybe they realize that's the most effective method of not being moved on by Mr Plod and garner more sympathy than bothering people.

What, you're used to seeing cuffs on the bed head? No wonder your lot breed like rabbits Spacey!

They usually try to match the type of community service to the criminal's skills. So.............. Nah I got nothing. Picking up rubbish it is.

A vow of silence and solitude would be the biggest community service he could do.

Ball GAG not ballbag... the thing hanging from the bedstead is a handcuff, hence the ball gag joke.

Work colleague just returned from a holiday in Canada. Telling us about the rubbish bins in this Canadian town. Massive steel bins to withstand bears and raccoons. To put in your rubbish, you have to reach into a small opening and release the latch which holds down the lid. The idea is, the opening is too small for a bear's paws and too high off the ground for a raccoon to reach. Now this is unverified - it may be true, or it may be a tall tale spun by a local to impress the tourists - but the story goes, locals have seen bears and raccoons working together to open the bins - the bear picks up the raccoon and holds him up to the opening, raccoon releases the catch, bear lifts the lid and they share the spoils!

I stand corrected. That pistol bears some similarities to Stormy's testimony too.

They don't make guns for hands that small anyway.

dummy... ball gag... Have you noticed the item yet OME?

Now that the trial is over he can squeal however he likes. Whether or not he gets jail time (very unlikely), it doesn't change the fact that he is now a convicted felon. If it sways some swing voters away from him it's a good thing.

Maybe he's a policeman...

Gee it's nice to hear good news for once!

Is that a trick question, or did you just not know my true identity?

What kind of freak eats 6 fried eggs with their steak? Or even without the steak, for that matter?

Tim for sure

That's ok, the rest of the world laughs at him.

Horses for courses as always. That little French thing meets a need for singles who don't tend to do huge shops anyway and live in inner city/close suburbia - and there's a lot meeting that criteria. There's a lot of straw man arguments about not being able to travel the outback in EV's or tow a 3 ton caravan, but 99.9% of people don't do that anyway. I'd even argue that 90% or more of big-ass 4wd's out there never actually go offroad and never tow anything.

I made a trip back to the car just to get a $2 coin for a busker the other day. He was playing a banjo in front of the supermarket, and doing it really well too.

Why don't you get a $20 gas strut from Bunnings?

OME, bringing in the name of Adolf Hitler's propaganda minister as a comparison to... who, exactly? Your first post says "proponents", then your last "the present day government"... in any case, some vague group of people, who are not seeking to create the master race or the third reich, nor eliminate Jews, homosexuals and the disabled, but instead are working towards helping to save the future of mankind on this planet, is kind of astounding. Misinformation abounds these days. From Trump's "alternate facts" to whole factories of super-spreader social media liars in Russia, to the "Leave" campaign in Brexit. But for this thread you chose as your target not Phillip Morris, who have lied about the health effects of tobacco (and now vapes) for years, not the fossil fuel industry, who lied about climate change for years, not the NRA, who have lied about gun violence for years, not Putin, who lied about an entire country so he could invade it, not religious fundamentalists, who have lied about everything for years... ...but people who support electric vehicles. Can you step back and see how that looks?

Trump is tragic for the US but in himself is a comedic figure rather than a tragic one. I don't know much ancient Greek history - no doubt they had some spectacularly bad leaders, as did the Romans - but I doubt they would be able to find anything sympathetic in the Orange Clown. As for insight, I would lay serious money that it is a total stranger to Trump, along with empathy, compassion, character and dignity.

That's Holly Valance - ex-Aussie actor (Neighbours of course). Had a hit single "Kiss Kiss" in 2002. Now she's married a pommy billionaire and gone raving bonkers.
